Just coded in brake light flashing (standard on EU cars) on my f01. Basically what this mode does is the brake lights flash rapidly as you brake, here's an example;

I thought the same thing when I saw the tread pattern. 912s are TERRIBLE in all conditions.

LED bulbs with integrated an integrated brake flasher can be easily bought online nowadays. Cool attention grabbing feature nonetheless.

Not part of the regulations in NA but I read that the nhtsa is looking into allowing brake flashing on NA cars.

It should work but I'm not too familiar with the e90 coding setup. I know brake force display works on pre lci e92's.

For FRM1. Our halogen brake lights don't have quite the same effect as the LEDs when they blink.

BFD_1_RL_BL_ERSCH_BILD = brake light
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_BL_M_ERSCH_BILD = 3rd Brake light
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_RL_BL_1_ERSCH_BILD = brake light 1
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_RL_BL_2_ERSCH_BILD = brake light 2
wert_03 = flashing
BFD_1_NSL_ERSCH_BILD = rear fog lamp
wert_03 = flashing

Difference between the two;

Is it only under "hard" braking?

Technically yes but you can change the values.

Reference;

Quote:
Brake Force Display (also known as Adaptive Brake Light or Dynamic brake lights) shows the drivers behind that you are braking suddenly and with force.

In North America (NA), during normal brake application, the outer brake lamps light up.

During heavy brake application, the inner brake lamps also light up.

In Europe, the display of Brake Force is different. Instead of the extra lights, the brake lights flash rapidly during heavy brake application.

This is a matter of preference, but recent studies carried out by Daimler Benz show that people's reaction time is quicker with flashing brake lights than without. The studies found that at a speed of 50 mph the increased reaction time reduces the stopping distance by approximately 14.5 feet and at 65 mph by around 20 feet. That's nearly 2 car lengths.

If you are wondering about the legality of this change in NA, I am not an expert on this, so the truth is that I am not certain. I found the following quote during a search "the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the U.S. subsidiary of the German luxury car company [MB] a temporary exemption from U.S. automobile safety standards, allowing it to sell as many as 5,000 vehicles over the next two years that include brake lights that flash during emergency stops." If you search this topic, there are opinions galore. Please, do not flame me with your opinion on this. I am only showing you that this change is possible.

It requires the following code change to set how your brake force is displayed:

FRM->3050 FRM_AUSSENLICHT_PARAMETER, 30->ESS_ERSCHEINUNGSBILD->bremslicht blinkend (brake light flashing). The default (at least in NA) is flaechenvergroesserung (area enlargement)

You can adjust the sensitivity of the system with the following codes:

FRM->3050 FRM_AUSSENLICHT_PARAMETER, 30->ESS_ON_VERZ (default for Europe (14 dec) 10 m/s2; default for US (10 dec) 8 m/s2)
This refers to deceleration speed

FRM->3050 FRM_AUSSENLICHT_PARAMETER, 30->ESS_GESCHW_SCHWELLE (default for Europe Werte=32 (50 dec) default for US Werte=05 (5 dec))
This refers to the threshold speed for activation

Finally picked up the bulk of my parts from point roberts ... paid almost $40 to pick them up, damn amazon ships everything one by one. Plus side? No tax! Couple hundred worth of parts, so I guess it balances out.

realized my floor jack isn't big enough to lift my jeep, spent 20 minutes with my spare tire jack lifting it and getting my jack stands under the axles.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Spoiler!
