Always feel on edge when coding options as the various modules throw errors and the car beeps and bongs. On restart all is fine.

BimmerCode has a nice interface and easy to use. I always make sure the ipad is fully charged and also the engine is running. I played around alot with expert mode in my F30 but not so much in this car. I also take pics of what I changed and write down the menus and changes in a note book.

The things that Bavarain Coding did for me were out of my comfort zone. I know some have coded the Alpina Flash themselves aswel as other options using Esys? but i'm not that confident with the complex stuff.

I might get a decent local coder to look at mine, must get a wish list.

Can you tell me more about the idrive 6 upgrade, i thought this was a hardware only.mod ?
I had ID5 before and it was a software update to get it to 6.

I know that some people have swapped out there whole Idrive system to get the latest one. Took around 50 mins to get it from 5 to 6. No mods to hardware.
