Firmware Flash Recommendation for CA Bay Area

I have a 2015 X5M with a Dinan piggy back and for some reason both BimmerCode and my non-dealer mechanic cannot code or update firmware. However ESYS did work when I played w/ that > 1 year ago so flashing and coding are possible that way

My question: Is it worth reflashing everything since I'm on the 1st build year and if so, anyone you can recommend in the CA Bay Area (preferably South)? I remember reading it takes quite a while and that a DIY is a bit dicey (especially because the laptop I used for ESYS died and I'd be starting from scratch).

I would need coding done after because the previous owner flashed away the Nav nag screen and more importantly, programmed in anti-dazzle

The reason this came up is that my surround sensors stop functioning 10-60 minutes into a drive and I've notice other anomalies over the years (that usually require a power off / power on). There is also a chance it would let me code w/ more user friendly software

TIA

Reach out to Ercan at WestTuned in Santa Clara. He does coding and can do firmware so I reached out to him and he said you message him on IG @Ercan.Genis.

Since you're local in SJ, any chance you'd be interested in a full carbon kit (splitter, diffuser and side skirts)? I have listing for it here: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1863986.

I actually have the exact same front/rear/side parts right down to the cutout for invisihitch There are a few chips I though about replacing, but hasn't been worth it so far. The carbon kidneys might be interesting if you haven't sold them (& if I read that correctly)
Your recommendation on IG hasn't responded. I might need to call the shop?

I pinged him last night and he was going to check his messages on IG. Or maybe just call the shop today. Guess he's been swamped.

I still have the carbon kidney grilles; $200 if you want them.
