I'm interested to see what happens after you bring it into the dealer. Supposedly, with ID8 and ID9, if you make any coding changes that weren't authorized by BMW, they can see it and potentially flag your car in the system as soon as your car is hooked up for diagnostics. This is done supposedly through a checksum verification as well, so even if you code it back to stock it knows how many times a module has been written to, and if it doesn't match with the number of times BMW has logged it can be trouble.

Again, not saying it's true, but from things I've been reading while researching coding for ID8. I'm actually hoping for it not to be true so I can code my own car eventually.
