I have a thought here - when I fitted LED headlights to my X6, the option code had to be added to the Vehicle Order and the Autologic diagnostic system was able to do this successfully without any interaction at BMW NA.

When the option was fitted, we called Autlogic, gave them the VIN, and they sent us the proper programming file to download to the tool, and then it was coded/programmed to the appropriate modules.

Just a thought if anyone wants to explore further, it may or may not work.
