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!

When you process a module , or "process car," all you're doing is setting everything back to stock settings based on your $VO. So, yes, someone changed that blinker option in the past. Or, maybe it came customized for your cars package or something off the factory floor.
Either way, all you need to do is edit the CAS/NFRM, or whatever module the settings is housed in to get back that feature (sometimes multiple modules all need editing which is why process car is a good function to use when making $VO changes).
Carly is the best app for making these kinds of changes. You can also make the change manually using NCSExpert or NCSDummy. Should be a fairly common thing people edit so some googling should get you an answer on what to change...
Nothing to worry about. All you did was reset those modules back to their factory settings (factory settings as in what your $VO reads).
