Alex,

I did read all forum and need answer as many would be interested as well:

If you code GTS DTC, GTS diff, GTS steering and GTS Traction.
then if my local tuner changes engine map for burbles & power etc, will this erase your coding?
Can I somehow backup your coding and recode myslef after dealer visit?

Motor tune will not erase any coding. Dealer will update, so a back up wouldn't matter or work.

I understand that GTS DTC is flashing thou, so will also not interfere with your above 3 coding?

Got the full package with stage 2 from Alex. Amazing to customize the car to my liking and also unlock the beast with the engine tune. The remote coding is professional and he is very informative , I just had him make some tweaks to open the flaps and once again the same great experience . Thank you for doing a great job and being so professional . Highly recommend

Alex is incredible. Had 2 experiences with him in the past week.

First time around was to do GTS DCT, GTS MDM, CS EDC, GTS PS, and a ton of custom coding. He shipped the cables to me in 2 days upon purchase and on a Friday late afternoon I hooked up my laptop to the OBDII via the shipped cord, Alex remoted in for about 20 minutes, and we were done. Throughout the process he asked if I wanted certain features and made suggestions (i.e. CS EDC > GTS EDC) that I really appreciated. I only have had my F80 ZCP for a week but it feels even "more perfect" now with Alex's work.

Second time around was because no-dazzle high beams and variable light distribution low beams didn't seem to work. Alex was extremely responsive and next thing I know he was remoting into my laptop while I was sitting in the car at my office parking lot . These 2 features are INCREDIBLE - I highly recommend anyone coding to do this.

Definitely will be going back to Alex when I'm ready for a power flash/tune! Just want to get a track day or two before cranking things up.

Just got Alex's coding and DCT flash done a couple of days ago and for some reason my exhaust note has been dumbed down by quite a bit. It doesn't seem to pop anymore and is just more muffled overall. Anyone else experiencing anything similar? I have the MPE btw.

Did you get active sound disabled? Also, is it muffled even in sport and sport+?

No I didn't and yes that's when it is muffled in efficient it produces the same sound

I had GTS EPS, CS EDC, GTS Diff and a number of miscellaneous minor changes coded.

Alex is super easy to work with and he is very very knowledgable; he identified a problem with one of my modules and fixed that as well.

I highly recommend Alex, top notch!

The 2015 M4s came with a heads up display which has a color scheme where the rev line is barely visible IMO. 2016+ has a heads up display with a different color scheme where the rev line is very easy to see at all times.
