1,200 mile service affect coding?

Mine won't be delivered until next week. Did anyone's 1,200 mile service visit get software updates which killed their coding? Is it prudent to wait?

I had the same question, and decided to play it safe and wait.

As a matter of fact, I'm actually sitting in the dealership lounge, waiting for my break in service to be done. Have scheduled a coding session this weekend.

Same, decided to wait.

My break-in service gets done later this week and my cable for coding is on the way Will be doing it myself this time around I think.

Depends on if they see something when they pull the codes and think the car needs an update. If updated, say goodbye to your coding.

Then I guess it pays to find someone who offers free recoding in the event coding is inadvertently removed. Combing thru various forums I found the following in nearby NJ. Anyone have any other sources near central PA?

I've used "codemycar" several times. And yes, they will recode for free if needed. They recoded my e90 after dealer work wiped out the code

Hey, having fun with the new car?

BMW True North actually has a coding sponsor, made a appointment to do this in person, but they'll do remote coding as well - ************.ca

EDIT - looks like I'll have to PM it to you...forum doesn't allow me to post it
