Retrofit M Drive Professional?

Has anyone heard if the M Drive Professional can be installed at the dealer or the VPC? When I placed my order I just thought the package included the drift analyzer and lap recorder, then I found out it included the 10 stage traction control and it was to late to make the change. I am it's only software, but something tells me I am going to be SOL.

So I asked BMW about it.. and of course they said it had to be ordered like that.. but I am not sure what all it includes if sw is the only thing or not.. if it is just software then maybe someday it will be available.. because I would have loved to have that too

I just can't believe it's not possible. I will throw a fit if they can't.

I thought it was just the drift analyzer and lap recorder as well...essentially software.

I hope at some point this is available. It was the only option missing from my car (dealer build) that I wanted.

Call BMW NA, but I believe it is NOT possible to retrofit.

I gave up on my research on this for now, I got close but I believe it requires an FSC.

I'm not giving up on this, if I had I time I pretty certain I could do it some on here I'm sure can, unlocking a DME is a lot harder I'm sure. GET BOYS PAPPA WANTS

How are you managing without it? I am on the fence of buying a car that doesn't have this option either

You're missing the best part, the 10-stage traction control. Still should be 100% software though.
