[QUOTE="pratt, post: 464383, member: 21006"] Anytime bro. From what I understand, what your dealer actually means is to reflash the idrive to the local m'sia bmw software. I don't know any 3rd party workshop that does it but I do know that the local BMW service centers can do it, but they charge a bomb for that service. Do let me know if you manage to source a cheaper alternative from other workshops, which I'm interested to know too :) At the same time I would ask around for you. Mileage on the odometer can be adjusted by workshops, so to really tell the mileage, you'll have to bring the keyfob to the BMW service centers and their computer would be able to show the actual mileage and also the service history. But if the 2008 unit you're getting is 100% accident free, then thats a reasonable price indeed. Oh yes, just bear in mind if the ride you're getting has RFTs and the thread is almost worn, replacing all 4 RFTs are almost $10k for the 19" wheels. So with other hidden costs(minor mods) everything could set you back above $400k. [/QUOTE]
