Also since I have the laser headlights, removing the anti-dazzle requires expert mode and give you close to full adaptation of the headlights. Things like carving a hole in the light pattern so you don't blind the car you are.following but still keeping the high beams on.

Not worried about bricking the car as I don't play with settings I don't understand. Google is great for translating so you know what the options are.
Sorry if this has been covered before, but do you have to reapply all of these changes after an OTA update?

Coding is something I'd like to get into, never tried it with my old Audi or my current X3 or my old F30 335i.

Some things need to be redone after an OTA and it's not derteministic. The modules that are touched in the OTA typically need to be redone.

The warnings need to be redone along with audio and the lights. Those are minimum.
It takes about 20 minutes and I have all the settings written down.

I recommend getting an enet cable instead of Bluetoooth or WiFi dongle. Cable is much cheaper and it’s crazy fast. I had a BT version and it takes way too long just reading and writing.

Can't you just save the profile like in esys? Usually I would save the stock profile Incase I did something I didn't intend by accident then I would save a profile with my changes so I could easily go back after going to the dealer.

I haven't seen that option, but let me check.
