if you plan on performing a complete oem retrofit the car will need coding. However, as you mentioned, your goal is to use an mtech ballast so......

Both the non adaptive and adaptive headlights have plugs on the back of the headlight housing the will accept the wiring harness for our car. you must, tap the ground wire and insert a new pin in order to get power the the HID ballast.

The above link explains how the wiring needs to be done. you may also need to follow the instruction on this link http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=239236&page=4

The second link will keep your lights from strobing.

By following the instructions in the above two links. HID projector housings will be properly supplied with power and be plug and play, no codes. I used a ballast from DDM tuning, not mtech. if you want to add aoutleveling and or adaptive, the car will need recoding and more parts
