Don't know how kosher that is but it seemed to work OK for me. Beats dicking round with a laptop and that crazy inpa/insta stuff Cheers... Is BimmerCode worth buying? I’m in two minds if I buy it or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon dee 500 Report post Posted May 7, 2022 To be honest I haven't really done anything with it other than code the battery. I'm pretty much a set and forget guy, and if everything is working OK I just leave it alone. But it does seem to be able to access a lot of modules and change a good range of settings. It also worked off the bat with my existing wireless dongle, so that meant less fighting with the D-Can cable I use the cable with MHD and that deters me from "fiddling" with tunes. Now that I've found settings I am happy with for my style of driving and I'll stay with them. Cheers... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB 20 Report post Posted April 15, 2023 I need to replace the battery in my 2007 E87 130i. Any recommendations? Does anyone have the kit to code the new one too (I don’t have anything to do this). I’m based in Silverdale. Cheers Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Andy You shouldn't need an AGM battery for that year E87 as it is pre-stop/start 'EfficientDynamics'. That ought to save you a couple of hundy.

AndyB 20 Report post Posted April 17, 2023 Big shout out to Ray @HELLBM and Brian @ Coast Auto Electrix (Orewa) for helping me out with the replacement battery on my 130i. Great service from Brian, who sourced the correct battery, installed and coded it, all for a very reasonable price. Would recommend these guys, if you're in the Hibiscus Coast area. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
