LOL, we all wish BC would add 50-75HP for $30 bucks. I've been at this for 4 days of ownership and here is my take:

AppleCarplay Full Screen - $50, someone sends you a file to upload via USB or you need to plug a laptop in for newer car software and the same person will write you an executable to run. I did the latter, piece of cake.

BimmerCode - does 80-90% of what people want to tweak in Normal Mode. Can do another 5% more in expert mode which is risky.

Hiring a Remote Coder - can do everything above to 100%, including the stuff you can't do in expert mode such as anti-dazzle headlights and Variable Light Distribution.

I believe most people use BimmerCode and compliment it with a coding session. My session is this Sunday for the main purpose of doing the lights. I have other things that I was going to tweak with BimmerCode but I may as well have him do it.

Read up here, that's what I did, it has all been covered.
