Mod list: jb4, injen intakes.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

its near your hazard lights, and central lock button on the dashboard.

this information is also available in your owners manual.

press it once, to disable some of it, hold it down for five seconds to completely disable it.

Well Bmw did a remarkably good job of hiding it to prevent accidents. You have to pop your hood and find the DME which is inside the ECU box. Then you have to connect your keyboard to it along with full size CRT monitor because newer LCDs cant read from the Ecu. Once you do that its a very complicated coding process, I've never actually done it but some on here have.

Good Luck
