I had some nice little touches added to the car today via coding, like door handles lights on when in reverse, one touch door mirrors closure, rear side lights on when running daylights are on, and 1 and 2 chirps on the door open and closure, plus a few other bits and bobs. i am in the bristol/south west area if any one is interested PM me and i can send you an email .....

Where did you get it done and how much did they charge? I'm in Plymouth and I'm looking at getting it done by DD Coding in Birmingham.

Hi Matt did you get my PM ??

Don't mean to hijack a thread but unfortunately unable to create my own but it does regard the same title...

I have an M240i on order for a march and currently looking at all the Coding mods that can be done accept as this is my first BMW, I don't understand what everything is and what 'must have' coding mods are and what are the popular coding mods that people tend to have done.

Also tried searching the web for video's on all options but unfortunately I can't imagine anyone is going to do a video showing you each individual coding mod and show the change of before and after...

I know there is the low fuel warning which I have already in mind as I don't want to be alarmed when I have quarter of a tank left... same goes for seatbelt warning alarm for driver / passenger...

Other than these... can anyone advise of other things?

[Matt-F22]

I haven't got round to it on my 2er, but I know what I have in mind for it.

Acoustic beep when locking is handy and sounds pretty cool. Also auto folding mirrors on lock press is handy as well. Saves you holding the lock button. I know it's not much, but tied in with the acoustic lock beep, really helps you walk away from the car knowing full well it's locked!

Door handle light in reverse is good for night time parking, seat belt reminder off, you can get it so it warns you about fuel at 1/8 of a tank instead 1/4.
There's so much more, if you want a quick, easy to understand description, have a look on the Carly BMW coding website. It shows you everything that can be coded with the adapter. But there's a lot more in depth stuff that can be done via a laptop and EOBD cable

Will have a look at the Carly BMW coding site, thank you.

In terms of folding mirrors... can this be coded if yours isn't specced with folding mirrors as I honestly can't remember seeing an option for speccing that

[Matt-F22]

No worries.

As for the mirrors, don't quote me on this, but I have yet to see a 2012+ BMW without folding mirrors. I'm pretty sure it comes as standard these days!

I have a 2016 without folding mirrors.

It's an optional extra which I missed. It can be added on its own or comes standard with electric seats (I think).

My 2015 does not have folding mirrors. It does have electric seats.
You can't code in folding if there's no motor to move the mirror.
