Sounds about right for many UK dealers

Did you get the service pack ?

Buy an ENET cable and I will send you the software links. Download them, and someone can easily help you via Team Viewer (remotely).

If you can get the cable and software I could give you a hand over teamviewer. Don't think you need to buy a token solution any more either.

That's correct, I just sent him the software links. No token purchased needed anymore.

Yeah got the service pack but stealers only want to sell me upgrades at £100 for every different thing they code!
Looking to code the enhanced Bluetooth, one touch boot close, one touch mirror folding and the tpms if possible. Mine was a December 2014 build so it missed out on the free upgrades, got nearly 8k off the car tho so can't really complain eh😋

1) His dealership allows coding and charges £100 for each code = ripoff

2) Free upgrades I believe he either meant the coding would have been done for free or probably mats or something that his dealership included at a certain time period when ordering

3) 8k meant he got £8,000 off his total price it seems

Unless, we are all totally off, lol.

1) Yes, dealer wants £100 per code change
2) Free upgrades ment UK spec cars are now coming with tpms and I think enhanced Bluetooth as standard( an option when I purchased December 2013), sorry I put 2014! My bad!
3) Yes, nearly 8k off total price.
So, anyone do coding then as I originally asked?😃

Sure, @NPickles or I can help you out. I sent you the software. Just contact one of us after you get your cable, buddy.

Good deal! I didn't manage as much off the top line figure but had discounted finance deal and also had the full maintenance pack reduced. Also BMW UK are putting down £2k deposit contribution towards the M50d until the end of the month!

Good luck with coding :-)

Nope. This forum is worldwide/universal. I don't know why you would want to even go to a UK one.
