Please note that I've ended my free coding promotion that lasted 2.5 years. I am unable to modify the thread title, sorry for misinformation!
I still code, just not completely free. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...6#post13666046 Intro Hey everyone. First of all my number is 347-560-3731. I prefer that you text instead of calling. After my free coding offer over the past 2.5 years I've made a decision to end it. I've coded aver 3500 cars at this point. I end it mainly due to absolute lack of time at the new job and few other personal factors that you won't care about. I will keep on coding but it won't be free this time. The thread grew a lot in the past year, a lot of people come here from Google and other forums and have no idea what "coding" and what the whole thing is about. For the most part these cars are made the same for the whole world. But every country has their laws and regulations about how a car should look and perform like. For example here in the US we have a regulation that calls for amber reflectors or lights on the front side of the car. Look outside and you'll see that every single car from Geo Metro to Maybach has some sort of amber light in the headlights. Or In Canada any recent model requires to have DRL lights. Or in the UK your car must have rear fog lights. Or in Switzerland if your car has HID's it must have headlight washers. And so on. All BMW's have those options pre-programmed in their computer modules and depending on market they're either enabled or disabled. To simply put I access those modules and change values in them, therefore changing the behavior of the car. This is not hacking or "jailbreaking", the car had all these features from the factory but they are simply disabled or enabled depending on the target market of the car. This does not void the warranty.] Pricing I tried making it as simple as possible There are 3 groups of options. The simplest ones are Group 1 which cost $40 with a total limit of 10 options. If you want more than 10 options then you have to upgrade to Group 2 which gives you 10 more options for a total of 20 + additional options that present in Group 2. The Option Group #3 gives you access to everything and no option limit. To make it simpler - If you do just the Alpina flash which is $100, you get everything else and as much as you want. If you get an option from option pack 2, such as DVD in motion, you get that and any other selection from both groups 2 and 1 with a total limit of 20. If you get Option Group 1 you get only the options in that group with a total limit of 10. In reality 95% of people out there are fine with Option #1 The cars that I've coded before are only $20, excluding advanced features from groups 2 and 3. I accept cash, credit and debit cars on the spot. My schedule and addresses I moved to Staten Island in July, exit 12 on SIE. Easy to get to from NYC and NJ. I work in East Brunswick and can take the cars during the day or after I finish the work (6:30pm). On weekends I'm usually busy running errands but on occasion I can code a car or two. Text me on Friday to check on availability. Don't expect a response if you text/call during the weekend. Approximate address of my house (7:30PM to 10:00PM]) - Little Clove Rd & Windsor Rd, Staten Island, NY Approximate address of my work (12:00PM to 5PM]) - Cranbury Circle, East Brunswick, NJ In both cases an exact address will be sent to you when you make an appointment. My number is 347-560-3731. I prefer that you text me as opposed to calling because I have a day job and I normally can't answer the phone during the day but can reply to texts at any time. Cars that I can code: I specialize in 2006+ E series but can also code any BMW/MINI/ROLLS ROYCE models starting 2000 and up to today. E, F, Z, X, R. Please note that older (2005-2006) E9x, E6x and E7x have very little available options. Depending on your car's build date, some of the things listed below will not be possible to code. Options: Option group #1 $40, 10 options maximum.
Option group #2 $60, 20 options maximum, includes all of the options from Group 1 Option group #3 $100, no option limit, includes all of the options from Groups 1 and 2. The ultimate package, you get whatever you want, as much as you want! ------------------------------------ Q/A Q: How experienced are you? A: At this point I've probably coded easily over 3500 cars. Figure 2-3 cars a day for 2.5 years straight. Q: I have a coding-related question / Can you set up my laptop for coding? / Can you share daten files? / etc. A: Simple answer - no. There are plenty of resources on the internet related to the coding. Your question will be ignored. Q: Will I lose the coding if I go to a dealer? A: If they update software on your car then most likely yes. Think of it like reinstalling Windows on a PC. Every time you do that you lose everything and need to reconfigure everything from scratch. Q: Will it void my warranty? A: No. I had no one call me that their dealer voided the warranty. Dealers don't really care for coding as it's not really modifying the car, but rather exploiting its full potential. I brought my own car to service with very obvious coding (front and rear foglights turn on when you unlock the car, M digital speedo, etc) and they never said a word. But as always with things like that your mileage may vary. Q: Is it reversible? A: Yes but only for me or another "coder". There's no easy way for you to reset it. Q: Do you offer remote coding? A: It's in the works Q: Can you come to my town/city A: I can come within driving range under 100 miles and if you gather at least 5 cars. I can also fly out to your state but the number of cars has to be at least 20-30 and we'll need a full day. Last edited by onebadmofo; 04-24-2013 at 10:37 PM.. |

Coded quite a few cars during the last meet in Queens, I think almost everyone was happy. Had a small issues with E92 M3 where I couldn't code the little corner LED's out but that's expected as I said in my OP.

Had my car coded by onebadmofo....everything works perfectly. He even got the little amber corner LED's out of my corner parking lights. Now I can put on my fogs and angels with no ugly amber color on the sides. Windows up and mirrors/sunroof in with key fob works great too. Legit guy.

Disabling corner lights and LED's ("euro" look) Roll up/down windows/mirrors from keyfob. Disable seatbelt chime. Disable iDrive disclaimer. Disable rear lights with DRL on. Unlock all doors when you remove the key. PM me a date so we can do all these coding!! |
