The fact that the thread starter is on a newer version shows the hardware can handle it. Again, buy a new car every year just for software upgrades...
The thread starter (and you) are on different hardware, or at least ECU's that were shipped with significantly different firmware, and if you'll note his hardware is not really "handling it" all that well as a number of central features aren't working for him. He's had to flash his ECU with new firmware, etc., not just flip a bit. He's referring to his HU as "sacrificial" for that reason.

By the time my car is a year old, BMW will have newer (by, I'm guessing, about a year) and cooler stuff out that I won't be able to have.
