Since my first post, BM3 now has the M2 CS Map which is extremely smooth and they have also made some updates to the Stage 1 Map to make it even better. Not to mention the multi-map, anti-lag and flex-fuel options. I couldn't be happier! |

I kept mine outside the dealer network to avoid them updating it and have all my service by an independant BMW specialist. I tried to get a new tail light under warranty from BWM they said yes, but only if I have all oustanding updates on the vehicle carried out - i.e DME update. ...so I walked away. It's out of warranty now so no matter. |

That being said, I've been able to flash my car. And wow, I can't believe how much the Stage 1 tune wakes this car up. I am just blown away. The smiles per gallon has significantly gone up |

I wanted to bump this thread to ask, is there a quick way to determine if the DME has been updated by the dealer to the version that locked the DME?
My M2C was built in January, 2020. However, I bought it second hand w/8k miles on it at the beginning of this year and I am unsure if the previous owner had the dealer do any service that would have resulted in the DME getting locked. If I'm able to, I would love to flash the BM3 CS tune.

Yeah there's a thread on here about reading the car settings backup off a USB drive in a text editor and it shows you the iSTEP version...

Since my iSTEP level is old enough (F020-20-3-524) it appears I can get a bench unlock and flash BM3. However, I've discovered that I don't have any local shops that are capable of doing it nearby. I shipped my RS5's DME out to get unlocked a couple years ago. The down time wasn't a big deal. But there were a few days during the shipping process that the carrier thought they'd lost the package. I'm in no rush to go through that turmoil again.

I'm quite surprised at some of the guys here saying they expected more from the flash?
I'm correct in saying that in the US you measure all the power at the wheels? Even your CS flash gave you 428WHP so that makes around 480 give or take at the engine? Even standard your car is reading very healthy. Unless the dynos you are using are very generous? Over here a trip to the dyno is often a depressing drive home from the numbers you get |
