I think if the dealer updated the software it might use a list of options registered to the car and therefore it would need to be coded again as it would "forget" you had option 6NR and not re-enable it. I'm not sure exactly how this works as it could also detect what the car had (a la plug and play). My thinking on this is that at worse it's a re-code that can be done remotely again. I'll ask the question to BimmerTech and let you know.

I had to fight hard to get the dealer to give me a software update and it takes hours and is costly so unless there is something wrong or they have a policy of always updating the software as part of a service, you may not get the software updated
