Hi bNks334, first thank you SO MUCH for this great tutorial! Really helped me.

I have a 2011 135i 6MT US (prod date 6/10) and just replaced my battery.
Stock was 80Ah.
Put in a 90Ah size 48 (big) from Advanced Auto Parts (~$120 after rebate)

Last week I followed your Option 4:
- CNCcoding profile
- used .MAN to code CAS with new battery
- stopped at step 17) because I was afraid of doing "Process car"

Then I realized I want to actually update the VO because my car is still under extended warranty and if I bring it to the dealer I don't want them to wipe out my battery setting.

I haven't used the car since this last coding.
Yesterday I followed Option 5 with slight differences:
- loaded Expert Mode profile (trace manipulation disabled)
- chassis E89 > read CAS
- changed FA -B080 to -B090
- FA_WRITE > CAS
- FA_WRITE > NFRM

Then I didn't want to process the whole car since I saw some people got problems with that.

So I did:
- SG_CODIEREN > CAS
- SG_CODIEREN > NFRM

Everything went well with no error, and I could see some stuff happening on the dash or headlights when resetting the modules.

Then I went to:
INPA > E87 > Engine > MSV 80.0 (if I recall correctly)
> Status > PM-IBS
- F5 "Batterietausch registrieren"
- F6 "Histogramm Reset"

Everything went well.
Then:
- F3 "PM 2 Byte Feld"
And I could read "Batterie Kapazität in Ah 90.0

So looks like I'm all set!

Today I drove the car and everything is going great, except... I just noticed that my turn signal tap doesn't trigger 3 blinks anymore ?
Since I bought the car I've had the 3 blinks.

So some questions:
- is the 3 blink tap a standard feature or did the previous owner had it coded?
- could the coding I did make the 3 blinks disappear?
- shall I be worried about other things that got changed and that I can't see as obviously?

For info I kept a backup of the WORK folder files at every stage.

Thanks!
