 BMW 5-Series E?? - Only 3 months old and already tinkering - a900ss
All,

I've got a F11 2012 520d Auto and had it coded yesterday.

I can now read e-mails and texts in full on the move rather than just the first three lines (useful for playing catch up when stuck at traffic lights)
The fog lights come on with the welcome lights. (Just because I could!)
The headlights don't come on as DRL's, just the LED angel rings (my lights are halogen, only 5 series with Xenon's have just angel rings as DRL's by default)
The stop/start automatically remembers the state is was previously in rather an defaulting to always on.
The dash now displays the gear I am in when I put the auto box in 'S' mode, ie S1/S2 etc, rather than just 'S'. (PS ths is the regular auto box rather than the sports auto box).

And I can also bring up this nifty little graphic on the central screen telling me what bhp and Nm the car is producing.

Sincere thanks to the chap that did this for me and I am once again a 5 year old who enjoys tinkering.
