Been out of the game for 3 years.

Hey guys, I've been completely out of the loop on the development of the M2C parts since the pandemic. Last time I was paying attention, BM3 were allegedly on the precipice of unlocking the DME. Wondering if that ever happened?

I have a early 2019 model, I don't think my DME is locked. If I want 600ish bhp is there a tried and true blueprint for doing that now?

Would appreciate any advice on how to do this safely and efficiently.

Thanks.

Bend Calibration + Mosselman/Full Race drop in turbos + Wagner tmic. Other fueling & cooling added based on usage. Few other bits to add but those are the big items. Makes for an excellent combination.

Should have no issues getting tuned with a '19 - but might have to do a bench unlock if the dme was updated by the dealer.

Bootmod3 + downpipes, E85, and a custom map you will be very close to 600 whp

add an intake(or bmc filter) and midpipe for extra HP

if your DME was not updated, you don't need the unlock.

Don't mean to hijack your thread but I've also been out of the loop for about a year or 2 and would like to know what exactly is the solution/process for someone with a 2021 M2C looking to unlock/tune his car for performance and burble settings?

The 2021s can be unlocked for OBD flashing, but it's bench flash. I've done quite a bunch.

Thanks for the reply! So this would mean me shipping my DME correct?

Not for bench unlock. I see that you are located in NJ - I’m referencing this because Kies Motorsports down south does do the bench unlock for relatively inexpensive. I would contact them for further information
