There are individual BMW forums out there, dedicated specifically to retrofitting and coding your BMW with 1000's of enthusiasts and professionals, assisting each other with these projects.

What about BMW dealerships, who sell these retrofit kits directly at their Parts department counters? With suggested installation and coding instructions included?

I'll take it as "no".
