Not sure what the dealer charges for it, but Minnie.the.Moocher has the info you need. You can change it but it will need to be registered. Some folks have software like Carly that they can do it with. I used my Schwaben scan tool to do it on mine. If I were you and can’t find a friend locally who has something to register it with, is call a few different Euro repair shops that specialize in BMW/MINI and I’m sure they have a way to do it that won’t cost much. My speedometer and gauges wouldn’t work until it was done. The good news is it only takes about 5 minutes to do. It’s very easy with the right equipment.

I’m not sure of all the issues. But when I had mine done, my gauges and speedometer didn’t work, and I had a plethora of dash warning lights until I did it.
It was actually pretty funny, I told them ahead of time about it, and they looked a little skeptical. But when the mechanic drove it back out of the bay, he looked a bit ashen and nervous. “I don’t know man, but none of your gauges and stuff are working now”
I was cool about it “no worries, I got this” even though I was totally nervous. A few easy button clicks later and all was well. Lol

Good deal. I am so glad I picked up a Schwaben tool. It’s paid for itself several times over, just saving the trip to get codes read. It’s really helpful to have

I heard that too, there is a new one coming. But unless you have a new Mini, I think the old version will work just fine
