The port has no cover (unlike previous models). It is on the outboard side of the steering wheel and is about an inch back from the facia. Best to use a torch to look around for it.

The plug is common to all current vehicles, but in this case the interface is IP not serial.
Thanks for this, I've deleted my previous reply as it's now superseded. Like the image, I've got a RHD F34, and the OBD port is on the right underneath the dashboard, between the boot open button and the bonnet pull.

It flips open, leaving access to what looks like a scart lead style port.

So, where to buy a cable from in Europe? Or what cable should I be looking to purchase?

Sorry for all of the questions, but where is best to read up then on how to update / code my car?

From this link - F20/22/30/31/32/33/34/36/80/82/83 Coding/Programming/Retrofit Options, I quite fancy adding the following:-
  • Transfer Phone’s Ringtone To Vehicle
  • Radio/Nav Turns Off When Door Is Opened (After Pressing Stop Button Once)
  • Close Trunk From Key & Interior Button (F31, F34, F36 Only)
  • Enhanced Bluetooth (Bluetooth Streaming, Album Artwork, etc)
  • BMW Apps
  • 2015 CIC Navigation Map Update
