Welcome!! Enough of us around, original owner, fashionably late to the party or even boomerangs, everyone is welcome. Entry level is some enthusiasm for the 1M; we're not a fussy community!

That's a 'ecodynamics' thing, which in most markets is not activated as this fuel economy feature is deemed not appropriate for a sportscar. Does AUS have it as a standard feature? Wanna get rid of it? IIRC when the feature line in your display is empty, push the BC button for ~5 seconds.

Bottom line is, I need my Dynamic cruise control (with braking function). I had a quick look with NCS expert, but I don't know if the M1DSC module can be coded for DCC... If anyone knows about this subject please PM me!!

The good news is that if you had it on any E9x (or even E8x model) any feature can most likely be retrofitted, as the electronics platform is equal. Cruise control is processed in the KOMBI unit. But you want to look at the WSD diagrams for this feauture, then make sure you have all the hardware and sensors and then code a VO (SXXX are vehicle options). Finally process all modules, that will make sure that all modules involved for a certain VO get the correct settings. Not saying it is easy, just saying that with determination, it can be done. Check the coding forum, i'm sure such a retrofit has been done before.
