But great that you are able to do it yourself.
Plus you need to remove the coating on that chip so the tool makes proper contact with the pins. Then you need to reapply the coating or hope for the best. It is located in a dry environment under the dash but BMW coated it for a reason and I won't argue their reasoning. 2:30 through 4:00 on the video below.
