2006 E90 Coding? Can Or Can't

I heard a rumor that the 06 production software can NOT be code into is it true or not? If it is possible will a K+DCAN cable do it? Thanks

it can be coded but you don't need to buy the $100 cable unless you want to code 07+ cars.

Yeah I just a bought a 20 dollar cable from Ebay for my 2006 325I. Worked like a charm.
Just keep in mind these cars have FRM1 so you may be limited in what you can code. But you can also upgrade to FRM3 if you wanted.

below is the link for the cable I bought and it seems to ship from NY not China lol, cause I got mine in two days as im in NY too.

I only used the driver from the disc, but I suggest you look online and get a new version of software and Daten files as I had problems and a fellow member (Alvine90) pointed out that the Daten files needed to be updated but the cable itself worked fine.
