I wish I could. I have a coding cable but my computers can't handle the coding programs.
Anyone wanna buy it from me for $50?

I know this is digging up a way old thread, but I just did the Alpina flash on my '08 135i vert. Glad to say it worked perfectly for me. If you still need a coder to do this let me know. I'm not a professional BMW coder or anything...I just followed the instructions online and it worked perfectly.

Guess i should add my thoughts on the flash. I really like it. It does what everyone says it does on the boards. I like how the D mode is now kind of an eco mode. The car was burning through gas pretty good. Now it gets to 6th gear just before 40mph, so it's getting to higher gears faster. For comparison, When I'm crusing at 40mph D is at 6th gear and S goes down to 4th. So if I want to drive fast all I have to do is throw it into S mode.

I like the fact that it shows D1, D2, D3, etc now so I know exactly what gear I'm in. Shifts are much quicker and smoother in all modes just as people had described. I'm really liking it so far and look forward to saving some gas $ for other stuff.

Ha Ha, old Post. Flashing wise - it's hard to beat Alpine remote flashing. They do the B3 and a lot more. Check out their thread in the for sale section.

oh, I wasn't advertising for profit. I'd do it for free. Especially since, like i said above, I'm a noob at this and just follow instructions. If you want peace of mind I'd pay money and have someone experienced do it. If you want someone that can just follow instructions and want to save a buck...hit me up
