I recently installed m235i calipers on my 230i.
I read a lot about coding. Some says yes for coding others no. Question is. I need to recode
Or just need to activate something or what I need to do. ?? Mine has m sport package.
BTW the car stops great. But I'm learning about coding. With BimmerCode first.

no coding required

Nice.
So no needs to activate the 2nha brakes.

Hey Juny, unless I'm missing something here, S2NHA is just a factory option,
Brake calipers are a mechanical "thing", there of course brake wear sensors which are electrical.

The whole point of coding (or programming) is to activate a feature usually electrical/electronic or has an electronic component or module, to effect a change.

I.e. turns on, off or varies.

Brakes work or don't.

I've seen a lot of threads on people who upgrade there brakes and never seen one where they needed to code there calipers to work or work "correctly"

If you have a link (you say some say yes) do let me have it so I can look at it.

I'm now confused. Don't know if are s2nha or base ones. Need to measure the rotors. Or check the vin number of the car I bought calipers. But calipers are from a 2015 m235i

Yes. I checked at bmw vin decoder and yes. They are s2nh

The process of upgrading from the blue M Sport 340mm front / 345 mm rear brakes to the Orange/Yellow/Red M Performance 370mm front / 345 mm rear brakes includes a coding step.

any idea why ? and what the coding does ?
your just putting bigger brakes on, which is just mechanical

ABS, I assume. Bigger brakes front, same brakes rear, different brake balance in the ABS system would seem to be required.

That's all well beyond my pay grade, though; I just saw in the instructions that coding would be performed as part of the installation.

If you know where or how to code please let me know. My car is stopping good but is rare to see bigger rotos rear that fronts. I know is the stock setup on m240 and m235 and 230i with tracking package.

My car was coded at my local BMW dealer.

Note that this took place while installing a BMW M Performance Brake Kit. So, from beginning to end, this was all BMW parts and service.

Ok.
Mine isn't with m performance. Is just the m sport brakes. The ones that comes from factory on m235i.
