Cool Remote Coding

I am looking for remote coding recomendations for my 2015 F80. I'm concidering the following adjustments:

Enable Euro MDM (Dynamic Stability Control)
Enable GTS EPS (Steering)
Enable GTS GHAS (Differential)
Enable GTS DCT Flash
Delete EDC (Adaptive Dampers)

The ECU has already been coded to Dinan Stage 1, and I want to retain this. Also that car has EDC, but EDC delete modules are installed, as I've replaced the coilovers.

I'm curious who others have used, and what the experience has been? Any recomendations? and concerns or reactions to what I'm planning? From a search of the forums, it looks like bimmer-remote.com and codemybimmer.ca are popular options...

+100 for kubax86 (bimmer-remote)
He's done several cars for me. Guy is a total expert. He'll send you the right links to his website for ordering. PM him with your VIN and your shopping list.

For coding he sets up an appt. You connect your laptop on WiFi and Ethernet to OBD port on your car. You click an email link to give him remote control and he does everything for you in 5-15 minutes. Since he gets his work set up for fast install I've never needed a car charger…just drove for 20min before appointment time so my battery was topped up. My radar displays my voltage so I don't worry.

When I ordered "features" like full screen CarPlay it was delivered as an app I installed myself. Same Ethernet to OBD setup.

Other coders:
I've used Alex at AlpineMSS, and also Mike at BPMSport, but Kubax is just such a nice friendly experience.

He coded my seats on my f80. I did not use a battery tender.

I did the GTS flash with kubax last weekend. No battery tender, no problem. Great experience overall

kubax86 Are you able to upgrade ISTEP to a new version? I have a 2016 M4 and when a remote coder tried to code the GTS parameters for the diff and steering input, the ISTEP version was too old for it to work.
