Adopt a Variant Code
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 333 other vehicles, including the 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW X5, 2007 BMW X3, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The preferred method of coding a replacement module is by "Adopting" the code from the old module, since this method prevents accidentally entering the wrong code which may occur when trying to manually enter the code. If the control module cannot communicate on the diagnostic link the manual input method will be necessary (refer to MANUALLY ENTERING A VARIANT CODE ).
