Since the modern car is controlled primarily by computers, some of them offer customization. ON a BMW, there are many things you can (not approved by BMW, but many people do it) tweak to your preferences, such as folding the mirrors when locking, or closing all of the windows when locking, removing some of the warning messages for the nav, etc. There are several forums that can help people with this, and it requires a WIN machine and an OBD connector and cable to connect the car to your computer.
Over time, BMW will provide various bug or enhancement updates, and those are done by the dealer. Typically, that portion of the code is not available to the owner to tweak.
