There is information but the best information I've found is at the b m w c o d i n g website. There you will find a detailed tutorial and links to the software. There are also experts there who will answer questions when they want to. It seems like the biggest experts in coding get tired of answering questions from people starting out. They often either don't reply or answer in ways that are not helpful.

If you speak German it probably also helps since all the words in the software seem to be German.

But the bottom line is there is information that will allow you to be successful. But there is not the same sort of helpful chatty forum you find here. You will almost undoubtedly be frustrated at times. But if you keep after it, you can make some changes in your car.
