But requires a IBAC code from BMW to import this code, the older systems such as CIP/Progman and DisV44 can load the vehicle order without this IBAC code. If you would of came downtown at Perillo, they wouldnt need to ask BMW NA for this code, as they have the capability to generate the modified ZCS code. You would of been done in less than 5 mintues. While your coffee was still being made.
Wow, very interesting info. So what does Perillo have that the others don't? This is good information for others on this board btw!

Do you have any insight as to why the lead tech at my dealership in Missouri was unable to complete the job? I would assume that he had the necessary equipment, but not the knowhow?

One last question, if for some odd reason I need coding work or some other similar work done on my car, do I need to worry about the self leveling error coming back?
