Why would you doubt me? You think I'm lying? This came direct from the service managers mouth.
Simply because I know it's literally impossible to "code" with the dealer-level program and it violations their agreement with BMW AG to make such changes to any vehicle..

The dealer-level system doesn't make individual lines of "coding" as Bimmercode does, it uploads complete software-level moifications, in one fell swoop.. Dealers "program" ECU changes, they don't "code" them.

But whatever, If you say so, who am I to doubt you.. Good luck with all that..
