Tools needed:

Top 15 coding mods:

- Folding mirrors on lock/unlock - mirrors fold when you lock the car
- Disable auto start-stop default - car starts with start-stop OFF
- Sport displays - enables sport gauges in instrument cluster
- Exhaust burble/crackle (G-series only) - adds pops on overrun
- Ambient lighting colors - unlocks all color options
- Needle sweep on startup - gauges sweep when you start the car
- Legal disclaimer removal - removes the iDrive startup warning

All of these are reversible and dont affect warranty (BMW cant detect coding changes through normal diagnostics).
