Will my coding be wiped out?

Hey team… just dropped off my F10 for service and the SA mentioned that a few items were programming issues (a recall on emissions system, resetting service due on rear breaks, error stating my gas cap is open).

I had my car coded for several things like removing the Idrive warning, auto-fold mirrors, etc.

Will this reprogramming at the dealer reset all the items that have been coded?

Thanks,

CT

No I got to El Cajon BMW.

They were pretty cool about stuff in the past (rims, suspension). I'm just hoping that whats been coded won't be wiped out.

Hey MWPos thanks for the offer! I was really kind of stressed about it.

I'll let you know how it comes back to me when I pick it up on Weds.

Actually there is one in San Marcos every last Saturday of each month. However, since I live down in the Chula Vista area I havent had a chance to check it out.

We should do something more central like Mission Valley... whos in?

Hey, With the emission recall, they wipe out and reinstall the system. Most probably all codings will be gone.

I'll send you my email address via PM. Not saying "no" to PM, just trying to make the comms easier.

I'm in for a SD meet, but the one in Carlsbad is awesome. Two weeks ago there were lots of Porsches, Ferraris and Corvettes, including a spectacular modded Ferrari F50 and a super clean 53? Vette. The event definitely needs more BMWs, but Mission Valley is more centralized.

Well as Zaman stated... when they do the emissions recall all coding is lost.

Guess I have a chance to meet another nice forum member!
