Thanks Alex for the great work on my car!
I’m from Italy so I did the coding remotely, and even if we got a few seatback Alex was able to fix everything!!!
I did the GTS: DCT, EPS, MDM, Differential, and the Competition EDC.
Here is my feedbacks
GTS DCT: by far the best mode! The gear change are smoother, but at the same time much more precise. I should have done it earlier. It makes the car more enjoyable in any situations.
GTS EPS: Compere to the original I felt a nice improvement especially in the center area. I always drive my car in comfort mode, on the street, and on track, and after the coding I fell the steering more precise in the center when you start turning or when you make small correction. Really nice.
GTS MDM: to be honest I need to try it more, for now I don’t feel a big difference compere to the Euro MDM. Need more testing lol.
GTS DIFF: I really felt the different in 3rd gear when for the first time I was finally able to put the power down!
Comp EDC: Very happy! I don’t have anymore that annoying tendency of bouncing in comfort mode, and the ride is still comfortable.

Again, thanks to Alex for his patience and for his great work!

Just had my 2017 M4 remote coded by Alex tonight. Can't say enough good things about him - he knows his s**t! I had all the annoying crap coded out (seat belt warnings, iDrive ok, etc), and had all the GTS stuff coded in plus a bunch of other stuff. Very quick and easy. Worth every penny!

Huge thumbs up to Alex. This guy is the king of coding. Long story short, BMW reprogrammed my car and all my coding features were lost. This is my second time using his services & I'll definitely continue to come back so long as I own a BMW. Communication is always fast & he makes things super easy and convienent w/ remote coding options. The entire session took about 30-45 mins. Thanks again!

Alex are people doing both ZCP and GTS coding on the same car or one or the other? Most threads folks are doing just the GTS settings. I drive a 2015 F80 with one of the latest isteps (updated in March)

My plan is to do the DCT GTS, GHAS GTS, and EPS GTS.

I am leaning to not do the EDC since I run stock springs. Thoughts?

GTS steering, differential, traction with comp EDC is a great combo, everyone is super happy with it.

OK cool. So getting the GTS features (DCT, Rear Diff, and Power Steering) plus the EDC comp suspension is fine on stock spring height. Good to know! When you say traction is that another feature that can be done on the car? Didn't see that anywhere. What does that do?

Alex coded me this morning. Remember I have a factory '17 with one of the newest istep versions. First off Alex is absolutely 10000000% top class. Walked me though each option and was exceedingly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.
My thoughts: new iDrive is sweet. Rear lights on is sweet. Biggest change is GTS steering and MDM/DSC-this make an absolutely huge huge difference if you are tuned. Really really makes the car fun in MDM for the street. DCT seems about the same but probably will adjust over time. So far I wonder why anyone would use anyone else. Its like free candy day!

Another +1 for Alex. He coded my car last year and my coding was lost during a service. On the up-side the GTS coding was available as well as iDrive 6. Alex met me locally and was able to fix up my car super quick.

Fast, professional and extremely knowledgeable. And fast! I can't believe how quick he's able to do so many things.

PS: I had an auto-cross this last weekend and love the GTS coding. Highly recommended.

With 2018's having the option to get the Side view Cameras without having to get the Active Blind Spot feature, is this something you can program in to cars with the Side View Cameras?

Hey, no. Blind spot detection works off the radar's behind the bumpers not the camera system.
