Wondering this since this like updates over the air etc. Its much more connected to BMW.

Would they get a note on the car profile if you change things and that might be creating problems in case for warranty or maybe a leased car etc.

Or maybe it's ok but gets overwritten by over the air updates and resets.

Anyone know something about this?

I'm picking up my 2020 530e in 2 weeks and already got stuff I want coded.
I can't make any firm comments about what will or will not work as I don't have mine yet either, but think of IDrive as a window into what the other computers in the car are doing, not the controller of what they're doing.

Coding is just changing parameters of those other computers, so it's likely that most of coding will remaining functional with IDrive 7. IDrive specific coding features may or may not remain valid to change, and I doubt anyone will know this for sure until someone tries it.

You might considering looking around for coding forums to ask this question, or see what other people have said. Bimmerfest.com has a coding forum there, I don't think there's one here (though I could very well be wrong).
