I'm fairly convinced my re-map was over-written when my car had new keys and locks replaced. Although they had to "code" the "control unit" to match the new key fobs, I wasn't expecting new software, but it looks like I got it anyway. I don't have iDrive, but I have noticed that the font on the information panel (between speedo and tacho) has changed.

Anyone know why the ECU would be re-programmed? Does the dealer just do a complete software update and this includes the ECU, or is this a cunning plot by BMW to discourage customers from re-mapping their cars?
