I recall seeing a post about what would be required for performing your own Progman/CIP updates, but can't locate it any more.
Has anyone actually tried this?
Or know where I can find the information on doing this.
Thanks.

Would any other private BMW service shops ever be able to have access to those kind of machines?
Other options besides the one BMW dealer in my town would be great.

A laptop with appropriate software and I/F i.e the hardware connection would run this. NOw it may take "gray" market access to get the software. There is a site/forum where folks are doing this. However, I lost the URL and really have not tried looking for it recently. And I believe ExGman posted this PDF on the an alternative method via internet sometime back.

Not really cost effective for the avg. car owner to obtain this equipment but at least it's good to know that your independent BMW servicer can get access to this vital software.
