Might as well just google one for free

She's super tidy! Leaves in my neighbourhood, the owner also has a very neat RS4.

What are you trying to achieve anyway? Do not think there are any other alternatives for E-series cars.

It used to be a one-off fee, then earlier this year they changed to a subscription based system, not retrospectively though.

I've successfully used my Carly on F06, F11, E90 (pre-LCI), E92 M3 (LCI), E93 (pre-LCI). Bimmercode is also handy and allows you to do advanced coding and not only a certain list of coding options (kind of like a mobile version of E-sys. Works on F-series only though.

Fairly certain this is the one that crashed on Ian Mckinnon Dr. Guessing they were coming down from Piwakawaka and lost control, demolishing a road sign and a traffic light. Drove past the place a few hours later and wondered what'd happened and then saw a post on fb with some photos. Walked my dog there the next morning, crap was all over the place, picked up an M5 guard grille as a trophy

Welcome! Can do this yourself as long as you can read how-to's and have a bit of spare time - all you need is a laptop, Enet cable off ebay (cheap) and some freely available software. PM me for some hints if interested.

Get one off ebay, make sure: a) it's a diesel version (these are usually cheaper than petrol) b) the cluster was virginised. Code, enjoy.

Or just use Google and save yourself a few hundreds. UK to NZ conversion is way easier than Japan to NZ.

And I got my 535i from there too! I'm massively confused now...

A bit of coding never hurts. Do Alpina D5 transmission flash

Flashed EGS (gearbox) with Alpina D5 soft. Did this affect the ability to control the brightness of your dash or CIC screen?

Did they replace the speedo/kombi completely? Wonder if VO-coding to Oceania specs will cure it, google will probably know the answer.

You're not alone

I had a red coloured switch with a japanese sticker (Japanese import) next to it in my 535i, above the driver's footwell too . Looked super neat and factory.

What mobility kit do you have? I have 71102333674 sitting in my boot (even though I am still running RFT) and I am trying to figure out if it has an in-built gel canister of some sort. And if so, how do you go about replacing it? If anyone knows.

I reckon if you already have an aftermarket camera in there I'd just pop the stereo unit out and investigate. Might have something similar to the decoder in the video. In this case I reckon you should just be able to buy a decent quality camera off ebay/ali and connect it in place of the existing one. $800 is probably for a complete OEM retrofit (well it better be one for that price...)

Is this only related to 2.0L engines or 3.0L as well?

Successfully decoded Start/Stop to remember last used setting, hapi daze!

Coded mine to remember last used setting, or could've coded it to be permanently off. Don't remember which one of the apps I used for this, though Carly or Bimmercode (which does not work with E-series). Can try Carly on yours if you're around central Auckland.

Ohh ok, thought I'd ask. Bought my first BMW off them.

Will do though it is a bit of distant project, you might actually be the first one if so please post an update. PS: are you Kyu from Q Motors?

Would anyone know what the procedure is if one wants to re-print a set of BMW euro plates? BMWXXX format with BMW logo and Team McMillan BMW on them? I see that brand new BMW plates are only issued through authorised dealers, would this also apply if I want to re-new an already existing set of plates? How much does it cost?

I had my 2011 535i Touring written off a few months back. Uninsured restricted license driver in a 300Z Nissan. Not even a third party. She written off two cars (apart from her own) and caused damage to two motorway barriers (which will need to be fixed with the traffic control in place == $$$). I was fully covered.

Yes sir!
