BMW E90 3 Series coding list
2006–2013 · 141 settings you can change yourself, from the published lists of BimmerCode and Carly, with the module, difficulty and caveats for each
Before you code
- Both apps need a supported OBD adapter plugged into the port in the driver's footwell; not every adapter works with every car, and some newer G-series modules can only be reached with specific adapters (BimmerCode quick start, BimmerCode FAQ).
- Coding restarts the module you changed, so the car can show warning messages for a moment. BimmerCode says these clear after switching the ignition off and on again (BimmerCode FAQ).
- Keep the backup the app makes before you code. BimmerCode says coding data can be restored from it if a connection drops, but that misuse of expert mode can leave a module needing a reflash (BimmerCode FAQ).
- Some modules have known faults: BimmerCode refuses to code certain FRM footwell modules that have a corrupted boot sector, and on some cars the body domain controller (BDC) can stop responding until the 12 V battery is disconnected for a few minutes (BimmerCode FAQ).
- The lists below are the apps' published lists. What your car actually offers depends on its modules, software level and factory options; the free version of BimmerCode reads the car and shows what is available before you pay (BimmerCode quick start).
E90-specific caveats
- Footwell module (FRM): BimmerCode warns that some FRMs develop a corrupted memory after years of use and may not restart after coding or a battery change; the app checks for this and blocks coding when it finds it. (BimmerCode FAQ)

Easy: One setting; change it and you are done. Two-step: Works only together with a second, paired setting (often in another module); the note says which. Only if equipped: Needs hardware the car must already have from the factory. Retrofit: Only after the matching hardware has been fitted. Difficulty is our grouping, based on the app's own description of each setting.
