What is BMW Coding?
Coding refers to modifying the software of your BMW vehicle, allowing you to enable features or adjust settings that may not be accessible out of the factory. This could be a matter of unlocking hidden features, deactivating certain warnings, or modifying how features work (e.g., windows, mirrors, lights, etc.).
