I have a Unicarscan from Germany, 50 Euros. Plus I paid for Bimmercode full access which was around £30 I think. Considering if you went to a BMW dealer and had one item coded, they would likely charge anything around £40 to £60, I would imagine. So with a good scanner and full Bimmercode app, you can code a lot more for a lot less expenditure. ��
I already have bimmercode and enet cable and encode the sound menu option, but the thing is that I don't notice a difference so I don't know if my car carries it.
