UK / Coding Options
So looking through the list of things to change with coding, I wondered if anyone here had done it and could give their view on which ones and the impact.. obviously some are self explanatory.

Some coding ideas and reactions for you
Hello Matt, I had my M6 coded just after I bought it in March. Wow, am I happy! Here's what I got (and why I like it):
1. Turn signals in HUD (b/c I set my steering wheel low, obscuring the lights) 2. Radio/nav turn off when you open the door (to avoid annoying people) 3. Eliminate chimes, warning signals, all that BS 4. Seat settings remembered (ventilation, active seats) 5. Adaptive high-beam (yes, it works in the U.S. after coding!) 6. Add rear lights to "daytime running lights" (looks very cool from behind) 7. Rear-view camera operates at speed if you activate it Drawback: weirdly, you have to push the "start" button twice to start up The fellow I used is CodeMyCar.com, cost US$125+OBDII cable He sends you a Chinese menu, pick what you want, same price for all or one Items #1, #3 and #4 were worth all the money, as far as I'm concerned |

Turn signals in HUD are a must, that is one thing that anoys me as my steering is set low obscuring the dash indicators.
Rear camera at speed with zoom is good...can it be coded to record on to a DVD or other device ;-) Loads of other stuff I'd pick. |

I'd be surprised if you can override the 20Mph.. that could cause damage to the hood / mechanics... if you could and it broke could be an awkward conversation if they found it had changed
