Selling BM3 license: have a question about the process
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com After flashing my car back to stock / re-locking the ECU can I transfer the license at any point in the future afterwards, or do I need to do both steps one after another in the same go? Also, PM me if you’re interested! /edit/ After the question was answered I went ahead and flashed to stock and locked my ECU successfully.

As long as you flash to stock and lock…then you can transfer the license when you want.

I tried selling my licence to 2 people in last 2 weeks. Bm3 for some reason is asking for ownership/registration proof of the people who are buying the licence. Eventually both of them backed up, so I'm stuck with the licence. I bought my licence directly from bm3

How do they want you to prove ownership? Copy of reg? The bank has my title for now, so not sure what else they would want or how to prove the car is mine. Loan info? Is it me or does that sound a bit invasive? Infringing on privacy? Maybe I will be using a coder vs. BM3.... josh |

The problem comes in when someone sells their car but forgot to Lock, and later tries to sell their BM3 license. Too many people sell their car with the tune and still try to sell the license. BM3 pushes back on this.

As long as the seller has flashed to stock and locked their ECU the buyer just needs to make an account on the bootmod3 site, then use the BM3 agent and connect their car to the BM3 servers. Once that communication is done once, the transfer can happen.
I flashed back to stock/locked the ECU earlier today. Ready for someone to purchase. I wrote up a few instructions for anyone who wants to buy it to make the process as smooth as possible: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1871653 |

I tried sharing a screenshot from our conversation with bm3. I purchased the licence from their website couple months ago. Before switching to MHD i flashed back and locked the DME on my car. When i try to transfer the licence i have error and after contacting them they were requesting software ID information from other vehicle, after we sent that, they were asking for proof of ownership/registration. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated

If your license is ready to transfer (stock, locked) then have your buddy hook up to BM3 (create account, read car software IDs), then you should be able to transfer to him inside your BM3 account screen. He needs to be setup and read IDs before you do the transfer.

No. A used license won't transfer again.

It's all been answered in previous posts, but here's a copy of the BM3 user manual:
https://api.media.atlassian.com/file...rue&height=250 License transfer details are on Pg 16.

No. My first M4 got totaled and I had to go to the copart lot to flash it back to stock and relock the DME. Insurance will let you if it hasnt been sold at auction yet. Google your VIN and you should be able to find the lot number

I talked to support to try to get out of it. You can try, but they are ZERO tolerance. If you don't relock the DME, they won't do it.
