all of these have been done using BimmerCode as I don't have E-sys or a compatible cable...... and I'm lazy too... that too...
CAR: 2016 F11 520D M-Sport / HU-NBT
EBT (Office menu)
First thing, I was having a lot of trouble getting this to work, for instance, I could get the Office menu, but wouldn't see texts or emails, or I could get texts, but no cover art over BT, or I would lose voice commands and the ability to summon Siri from the steering wheel button... eventually I started looking into what each item on the cheat sheets did and found what worked best for me:

This particular coding got me the following:
- Office menu
- Covert Art over USB and BT
- Full SMS from my iPhone (no email though, still working that one out)
- Full use of voice commands and Siri button
- All other functions as before
If anyone has anything to add that would aid in getting emails to work I would be grateful.
Remember you will have to forget your phone from the Bluetooth menu and forget your car from your phone, once all the coding is done, you should pair them up again.
Compass and x-Drive menu
I wanted the Compass displayed on my 6WA dash, and then I found that you could enable xDrive Status even if your car is not xDrive, to show the compass and pitch and roll (I don't think torque is working)
I have also coded the m550d logo, on the dash but that one I'm sure you all know by now how to do.
These are the items that worked for me:

Video-in-motion and extended Codec pack
I've installed an SSD on the central console with a few movies (all legally owned
) and just enable these settings:

I can probably upload a video if anyone wants to see how that looks while working but here is a few pics:

Hope this helps if someone is having a bit of a headache like I was specially with the Office stuff.
Next steps for me will probably be trying to code SPORT+, but all my reading says it cannot be done just yet on BimmerCode for my F11 at least. Again, if anyone has any input, more than glad to listen
