Same here, for a matter of $400 bucks, the BMW OEM bring peace of mind. The coding really isn't a huge issue. More and more coding tools are building in the coding. Re-pinning the wires at the connector is a one-time trivial process.

That said, I can see the attractiveness of the Chinese knock-offs to people.
