What coding service would you recommend

Had my 435 coded but don't remember who did it. So am looking for recommendations for my new 440.

Slightly off-topic, but somewhat related...is there a link here to a list of what coding is available for F30's? Tried a search, but wasn't successful, thanks.

I know mine previously had quite a few done to it, just would like to know what else is possible.

It's more like learning how to change your own oil, as it's about the same degree of difficulty. It's a bit hard to follow from just the written instructions, but watching this it all makes sense:

Agree. I don't mind building a car from the ground up & ECU tuning but have no interest in coding features.

Have selected them. Cable will be here tomorrow.

Yes, just wanted it done. Have built a number of cars from welding the frame up & really don't see the need for do it yourself with something like this.

There is an app called Carly for BMW for Android and IOS...it's not as comprehensive as E-SYS, but it's a very simple interface where you read the ECU you want to program, check or un-check boxes for the features you want to add/delete, then it pushes the changes back to the ECU. All that's required besides the app is a bluetooth OBDII adapter. Total cost for "pro" app license and adapter is <$100, and you can use it on multiple vehicles, register batteries, etc.

Also - there's an entire DIY/Coding section in this forum with plenty of information on how to code and a list of the available codings that is downloadable.
