Coding of my M6 Gran Coupe

V12 aka Richard coded my M6 Gran Coupe tonight - I am absolutely thrilled with all of the cool additions he made to the experience of driving and enjoying my car. Mirrors fold in and out when you lock or unlock, got ride of the annoying "confirm" screen upon startup, added turn signal indicators to the HUD, windows close with the lock button, open with the unlock button (if you hold each respective button down)....a huuuuuge upgrade. Too many features to mention. Over the moon - highly recommended.

If anyone is interested in the NYC area, I have a guy who coded my M6. He can do it remotely as well.

Coding is the bomb...only problem is you have to redo it after any sort of update from BMW...My guy said he can code the CEL away but only momentarily. I wanna get all the same stuff you have minus adding to HUD. IDK why you shouldent be able to just do all this stuff in your setting being that the software is already in your car, that would be smart of BMW. Sadly things like the warning screen will never go away in the USA because of legal issues. Pretty ridiculous.

you can email him at bmwmeets@gmail.com. He is based in NY and can work remotely and help anyone. Really recommended. Very easy to work with and he does it all...really happy. He even saves a copy of what he did for you, as well as notes, on your laptop so if you do have any software updates done, he can re-install after that...pretty well thought out.

Thanks for the quick response. Is it easy to access/pull the chip or is there a Ethernet port?

@jettie1767: Yes, that was me, I coded your ///M6 GC (Rich)!
I am in Manhattan and help all over the tri-state area and remotely when not possible in person.
Have you now been able to confirm whether or not the DYNAMIC Adaptive High Beam Assist feature can be enabled on the F06/F12/F13 6 Series?
