I too would try it myself even if you have to drop the bumper off (don't know about E70's)
I'm not sure what would need coding anyway.

I'd plug them in first and see if they just work - you may need some warning cancellers but they are easy to fit ;-)

Ok, i had a go at trying this, but...

Why do BMW make it so F*@~##* B~@$*$# impossible to get to the connectors. Admittedly i have huge hands, but even a 10 year old contortionist would have trouble unplugging it.

So, how did you get on :))

You should know by now that you need to have the skill set of a blind gynaecologist to perform such basic tasks
