Spied this thread over on the F80 board, found it pretty interesting. Thoughts?

Very Interesting.

Guess we'll see how this plays out with other tuning companies.

I would imagine LEIB would simply charge other tuning companies a royalty for access and they would flash their file?

Hopefully Dinan, Cobb or GIAC can crack it themselves sometime soon

They have confirmed via email to me that they last week cracked the DME (or rather "found a way") and are now able to tune any F-series BMW!!!

The first car they managed to tune was a M235i that was tuned to 400hp just by software modifications.

These are some of the things they can do (on ALL F-series):
Delete the engine lights (if the car has been decatted)
Open the v-max to unlimited
Apply a new (bigger) set of turbos to the software
"Program the F-series with every wish, that we or a custumer could have"

The tuner is based in Germany, so it might not be available for all the US members on this forum.

EDIT:

This is the latest developments regarding DME software modifications from LEIB Engineering:


They are now able to ship already tuned DME’s to customers. At present time this currently only available for all N55 and S55 engines.

M5/M6 will be the next. It will be finished in the end of September.

Completely opened Vmax, deleted CEL and more is possible.


The first tunes are:
M135i & M235i: 390 PS and 525 Nm

M3 & M4: 550 PS and 650 Nm

All other x35i(s): 360 PS and 500 Nm


The customer can keep his own DME. They can now ship the already tuned DME directly to the customer.

All they need is some basic info of the car, in order to flash the correct base software.
