1. MHD. Gives you the ability to ''play'' with it since its on your android device
2. Bootmod
3. Home made. Ive used homemade tune, since BMW are not that hard to flash, just like audi that required a well experimented tuner to flash new tune.

yes , even JB stage 1. But piggyback are not the best bang for the buck, and bms customer service is awful.

Like I said , most tuner will charge you the software license + time and knowledge.

I can't recall the PC software, but it was simple enough, he entered some values, load a map and flash. Cheap PC and K+DCAN cable

about 350$ for a 370bhp/380tq. Considered like a conservative stage 1 tune.

Looking for something easily removable in case i need to bring it in somewhere so i think a piggyback is my only option
