I've been doing some reading, and I think it's the E70, E71, E84 chassis cars that have the added security that doesn't let you reprogram them, but going from a E90 to a E60 it should be as simple as putting in the correct VIN?

My mechanic didn't want to because they couldn't program it, but I think based on limpiabot809's post I should be able to get it done but want to be sure.

Thanks!
As long as those transmissions are interchangeable then yes you can code it with kdcan and standard tools. I've had certain instances which required flashing the used transmission and then coding with winkfp and ncs expert though so just coding it may not always work right away.
