I just got a response from the saying that they are currently working on the unlock and hoping to have a solution soon. Not sure what “soon” means.
Are the newer M3/4 affected by this as well?

I could think of one right now that gave me an unintelligible answer but clarified that it's only available via bench flash, when I pushed them in a corner. I won't put them on front-street because I know it's beyond their control. If you can prove otherwise, please share. |

I'm not really sure why you think it's justifiable for a company to hide behind "everybody knows of this issue"? It's sloppy at best, or deceptive at worst. You can be a fanboy if that floats your boat, but honestly it makes me question the integrity of their business practice. I get that this may be an innocent mistake on their part, but I pointed this out many months ago and although they've updated the above attached website several times recently they haven't bothered to correct the blatantly the wrong information. |

Social media is not the place to put disclaimers, the product page is.

Is there a way to check and see if the DME is really locked? Some software version? I have a 2020 M2C so probably locked but wouldn’t mind checking anyway if possible.

The site makes it clear that it does NOT need to bench unlocked anymore. Is this for real, or have they not updated their site?

To my understanding, if you patch the ECU/DME and then use BM3 to tune it.
The moment you decide to remove/lock the ECU/DME you need to patch the ECU/DME next time you want to tune it? Im really hoping for a better solution then to remove the ECU/DME unit. This won't be a big problem maybe but time consuming each time. Or is this a good thing? For example when you need to service the car BMW shouldn't notice anything if they ain't starting to poke around |

Something interesting I was told by carbahn tune shop as they bench flash and use their tune. Was looking at there options but told them I was looking for an E85 tune. They said they don't because using e85 eats up engine parts (cylinder heads, engine hardware etc) and they have been replacing whole engines. Is there any truth to this?? Aside from changing our spark plugs I was under the impression we are good to go on the s55. Anyone running e85 feel free to chime in
