Power increase for M2 Comp

Who can share any experiences either running jb4 on their M2 Comp or finding a tuning shop that can do install and configuration?

What year model is your car?

The DME is locked on newer models so BM3 won’t work. Not sure where the bench unlock is at?

For the older model I can tell you BM3 makes a “substantial” power increase, around 20% in both Hp and Tq.

You install BM3 yourself, don’t need shop

Thanks. Just to be clear I am talking about JB4 piggyback though…..


My understanding is that jb4 will work regardless of the locked dme…..

JB4 is the only way to tune the 2020.5 and up cars.

JB4 works well and is probably the best piggy back for this platform.

I would go flash tune personally, but when you can't JB4 is a good 2nd choice.

I'm getting my 2019 unlocked and flashed next Tuesday
