It is a factory update, BMW never releases details of updates. Only assumptions can be made. Also depends on what version of software your vehicle is on.

Hey Alex, are you able to code any other manufacturer's cars? I was telling my friend that I was going to approach you once my M3 arrives. He just bought a used Audi S4 and wants to see if some things can be tweaked in his car.

Funny guy !!! Well maybe you can install a secondary battery when I get to your shop Friday while you install my other parts??

Side note - I am still in Chi-Town, decided to spend another night here. I land at LAX around 3:45pm, and as long as my parts are sitting on my front doorstep, I will head straight over to you... I'll keep you posted !!
