I have a GC 430XD on order, what benefits would I gain from having some coding applied?

I have no folding mirrors, mainly just went for the stock with MSport+ package.
Unfortunately its not possible to code folding mirrors, as they have different internals, with motors. Retrofit is only option and that is many many £££s. There are a few threads on coding, but enhanced Bluetooth seems the most popular 'mod' as BMW charge a few hundred for EBT, even though in many cases the hardware (with the exception of a passenger phone mic) is there to do it. You can also code in various changes to car settings (dash displays, lights, doors etc).

Teaston prepared a great guide on coding EBT and I run a windows laptop in any case, so I'm actually just thinking I'd be better off buying my own cable and software and doing it myself. I can then re code to save any problems when the car is in for service etc
