BMW Coding in the GTA

Hey all,

For some of you who are looking to add some features onto your BMW, I suggest messaging Gordon (DimSum on this forum). I stumbled across him by accident while browsing the Canadian section of the 3'er forum. A couple features I bought from him were:

1. Enabling the Digital Speedometer (will show up as V = km/hr or mph on your gauge)
2. Enabling Actual Speed Reading Correction (wow, my car actually displays the true speed now, instead of 5%+ higher on the speedometer)
3. De-activate Amber Signals (helps me get rid of the amber glow when my xenons are on)

He had a lot more options available (like deactivating DRLs, rolling up the sunroof/windows by holding on lock, etc) but these were the ones I wanted. I highly recommend his services - he is very friendly, timely and professional with fair prices

Thanks for the kind words Tony .

DimSum, according to a fellow on this forum, coding can be done to increase the output of AE (brighter AE). Is that true?

Cheers...

+1 for DimSum, he's a great guy to deal with.
I'll be getting coding done on both of my cars soon.

It is not possible, well not that I'm aware of. But what you can do is remove errors with coding so you can use after-market angel eye options such as LEDs or HiD kits.

So that means you can increase the brightness now?
