Im a newbie so im not able to DM you.

I have a Z4 2010 3.0 manual, I have purchased the stalks and column shroud. I am confident in fitting those components but the coding is probably beyond me.

Would it be possible for me to pay you to code it to the car?

Thanks

Chris

Hi, I keep asking the question but no replies . I am trying to download the software but the links provided in part 2 do not connect. I have tried to get the tools but a lot seems to have been taken down. A simple question best tools to follow the guide , and where do I get them. A copy of BMW basic tools or a link to one that will open.
Thanks

Hi all, well I have the BMW coding tools . Loaded them onto the computer but have not got a clue what to do with them . I feel confident about following the instructions provided by David but just cannot get my head around the installation. Can anyone assist or recommend someone to do it remotely . I thought it would be just plug in the cable and follow the instructions. The retro fit went well just the usual 2 faults. Although I wanted the satisfaction of completing the job myself , I don't think so .

For the file called "BMW Standard Tools.7z" open this with either 7zip or Winrar. Once you unzip the package you'll find "Bimmergeeks Standard Tools". Inside this you'll find a list of various folders and a txt file called "Install Instructions", follow these instructions to install the main tools with the "St212.exe" package (follow it to the letter!!!).
Once it's installed, move on to the other folders for SP_Datens, Profiles, com ports and OBD Drivers.

Hi David, I'm so near but so far. Loaded all the files, it's just the command prompt it won't accept. Opened as administrator. My computer is windows 10 64 bit. Could it be that I have made a mistake loading the files. Also do I transfer all the files from THE OCX to the c drive just 3 as stated
Thanks again
