Here is an example of coding BMW E46 M3 (with SMG2 transmission) Euro SMG mode also called "CSL Coding" with BMW ICOM engineering and developing WinKFP coding software.

Equipment:
BMW ICOM ISTA/D ISTA/P with WinKFP 5.1.6 or newer version software HDD and 46 data files
BMW ICOM A2+B+C diagnostic and programming tool
Stable power supply 13-14V at 10A (very important)

Instruction:
1) Configure WinKFP
Well install BMW ICOM ISTA/D ISTA/P software HDD
Select and run WinKFP software on the desktop
Click Import/Export ->Import ->Assembly Line Data

Save settings and exit WinKFP software.

2) Flash/Program CSL module
Browse the unzipped SP-Daten-E46 folder to:
Copy the contents of the ecu folder to C:/EDIABAS/Ecu
Copy the contents of the sgdat folder to C:/EC-APPS/NFS/SGDAT

Run WinKFP software again
Turn ignition ON

NOTE: Keep the vehicle voltage at 13-14V. If the voltage is below 12.5V or above 14.5V, the flashing procedure may fail and results in brick the module.

Run WinKFP and select “Comfort Mode”
Click “Enter ZUSB”, select ECU type: GDSMG2 and choose ZB-number: 7843255. Click OK.

Click “F3: Program”. WinKFP will give you a message about having X number of flashes available. Press Ok to accept the notice

The module flashing is processing. Accept the windows prompt if the flashing stops at 100%. And it will go faster and complete programming.

Turn ignition OFF
Turn ignition ON after 5 minutes. Clear the stored DTCs in control module with BMW INPA software.

Turn the ignition off and wait a few minutes again if the transmission error light is still on.

Start the engine and enjoy the improved shifts. You may need to run the SMG adaptation procedures.

The whole procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Do not exit the software program or disconnect the BMW ICOM diagnostic tool with vehicle, otherwise, the SMG module will be bricked.
