I asked the dealer to code it to European specs but they looked at me blankly and said we don't have an option to do that.

Yes, there are 3 x regional settings:
Europe
USA
Oceania
The official BMW dealer doesn't even know this, he is automatically locked into his appropriate region by the BMW factory software. He cannot change his region, he probably doesn't even know the regions exist, as he only works within his region
Only when people go outside of their region (like here on X5world) do you realise other regions exist and that the behaviour, configuration and settings of the BMW can be different
Oceania mode makes the warning screen appear. The dealer cannot change that, because it is exactly how BMW want it to be for Australia.
But NavCoder can change it :-)
