Oh hey fellow Six ? Waiting for my enet cable to arrive and will get stuck into the coding. Did quite a bit on my past 6 and 7 series cars.

I guess once I get a feel for enet (used ncs expert) I might end up doing my own retrofit coding ?

E-Sys + Enet cable is a good combo  

Hello from a fellow 6-er owner!

You can buy legit FSC codes online and code everything yourself. Will save yourself a fair bit.

I know someone who supplies the following FSC codes:

- FSC Kafas BE and BF
- FSC for Speed-Limit Info Kafas2 7E
- FSC for Kafas4 Speedlimit 11F / G11 G12 G30 G31
- FSC for Kafas4 WWA (Wrong Way Assist) 13E
- FSC for Kafas4 Front Collision Warning (FCW) 13F
- FSC for BMW Apps, Sirius Radio, EPS 
- FSC-Set for Retrofit CiC, NBT and NBT Evo with USB 

I did a dumb thing and ordered a 7E FSC code - the code was accepted without any issues, VO-coded the car BUT it appears that AU/NZ CIC maps do not have SLI data embedded in them ? Should have done a bit more research prior to...

Used Smith and Smith recently, dude made a mess and BSd me about screws being missing from the cabin Air filter before he got there, when I knew they were there as I installed em...

Id try novus next time.

Novus (Penrose) were equally crappy when I had to deal with them...

BMW dealership, Insurance covers it

Was thinking about it the other day too... I got a windscreen with a connected drive (KAFAS2 so should have heating elements around the camera to prevent fogging) camera behind it, wouldn't want Novus/S&S to touch it.

I have 2018 Premium maps.

Sounds nice!  Probably more torque than my M5 with 1/4 the fuel bill haha!  Sadly wouldn't have a clue who would tune them.  I'd be tempted by box tunes from overseas if available though.

Haha yeah fuel bill is rather awesome, full tank for under a hundy and lasts me for 2+ weeks. Have ASD module so sounds very petroly in the inside

Heh yeah it lives over on the shore during week days.  Hope it wasn't tears because ours is so damned dirty

Sad, though.  You have a 640d now, how's that going for you?

Haha yeah it looked a bit dirty ;)

Love the 6 series - smooth, perfect cruiser, lots of room too (for now at least), full tank for under a hundred is a nice bonus too.

Comfort seats and dash wrapped in Nappa, M paket, adaptive drive, LDW/LCW,  adaptive LED headlights, 360 + side view cameras etc. Just wish the original owner ticked off the soft close doors option, was only like $900 extra - frameless  doors on these are a bit of an effort to shut, require a rather decent wack :) 

Would you know who can tune these diesels?

What is the going rate for a factory tow bar from BMW for this vehicle, I am also looking for one now and none have towbars.

thanks

I have a brand new Westfalia towbar for F10/F11 (OEM option), removable tongue etc complete with a proper wiring kit. These are bolt-on and easy enough to install yourself. Was planning to install it on my 535i until it got written off. 

Turned out your wife's 535i parks like 300ish metres away from my (now dead) 535i, spotted her a a week or so ago but wasn't sure on the number plate, then had a better chance today  

Almost brought tears to my eyes...

remember, the NZ customs website is your friend.  used to be 'whatsmyduty.org.nz'.

I've imported enough to know what whatsmyduty.org.nz is or what 0800 478 287 (option 2) number is for

yep, I recommend them.  If you join under the Visa promotion, you get a bunch of benefits for no cost.

 

What carrier do they mainly use?

Have you used them before? 

Hey team, thinking of getting a Bavsound set-up for F11 but from what I can see they only ship within the US and there is no dealer in NZ (the nearest one is over the ditch). 

Of course I can get it shipped via Youshop but at this stage I am just trying to avoid that option. Any other ideas?

Just watch out for RHD fitment. The VRSF E series N55 downpipe did not state anything for RHD fitment on the page... and as it turns out you can't plug in the secondary O2 due to the steering rack.

Damn, do you know if this also applies to F-series?

VRSF is great to deal with and will accommodate GST considerations, if you get my drift...

Totally do   

That was one of my concerns too as it's clearly going to be over $399 incl shipping threshold. 

Flashed my F11 with MHD tune last week - stage 1 for now.

Looking at getting a catless downpipe and a chargepipe, VRSF seems to be the best option price/quality/fitment-wise. Where do you guys order your VRSF parts from, directly from VRSF? or ebay? 

Shipping charges are a bit steep :/

I'm pretty tempted to pull the trigger on a Carly Gen 2 to recode some things on my E87, but thought I might ask here if somebody in Auckland has one. Could save me money from the cost of unit + app, and could give you some return on yours. I'm in central.

I have one if you're still looking, I am central too
