I doubt your dealer will do this. Here is a written response my dealer got from BMW UK (in relation to the Auto Stop feature).

Hi Barry
We are unable to change the design functionality of MSA. The customer should have been given the opportunity of evaluating this feature prior to purchase, and plays a significant part of our Efficient Dynamics programme, providing lower emissions and a lower tax bracket.

… but you never know, your dealer may fare better,

I can confirm that the DRL rear lights modification works, I have just done it to a car (30 minutes back & tested).

Regarding dealer knowing about modifications; they only know about it if you generate any error codes. So far, FRM module programming does not generate any error codes - so should not be an issue.

Reprogramming the "Kombi" module (for HUD mods) does generate an error code; and there is a possibility that the dealer may notice this - although unlikely. There is no known method of erasing these error codes (for now); hence I have put off making any modifications that require Kombi module - the rest I'm quite happy to play around...

However, the DRL change is fairly safe.
