Is there a bmw rem clone / data transfer shop in Washington DC I should use instead?

Does District of Columbia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
The District of Columbia requires a biennial safety and emissions inspection for registered vehicles through the DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all District of Columbia and federal requirements.
What is the REM on a BMW and where is it?
REM stands for Rear Electronic Module — the F-chassis rear body-control computer. It lives in the back of the car and handles the tail, brake, reverse and rear fog lamp outputs, the trunk or tailgate release and latch, the rear power outlets, and the rear-body switch and sensor circuits, reporting over the body CAN. Because it sits in the rear, it is the module most exposed to trunk water intrusion.
Which BMWs does this cover?
F30 / F31 / F34 3-Series, F32 / F33 / F36 4-Series, F80 M3, and F82 / F83 M4, plus closely related F-chassis vehicles where the part number supports it. Model year alone never decides it — the BMW part number and hardware index on the module label do. Send us your VIN and a photo of the label and we confirm coverage before you ship anything.
