Car moved from US to EU, coding?

[fackamato]

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a good weekend. My M3 is on its way over to Europe from the US. I think I read somewhere on this forum that there is a bit of coding required to get it to be comfortable over here. Any ideas / links?

I am thinking in terms of BMW Online updates / realtime map (if that is even possible), FM radio stuff, anything else that is US specific and needs to be reverted back to EU specific.

Many thanks in advance

BMW online can’t be changed to work in ECE.
FM, maps, frequencies can be solved without issues.

Ok, good enough. I'll be posting again once the car is here unless you might know of a link or someone who can do this remotely? Thanks

Any chance to have BMW online in US car in the EU? Perhaps some module needs to be replaced and then it can work?
