I Tuned My 2021 BMW M2 Competition!

Up until very recently there was no way to unlock and tune our BMWs with MEVD17.2.G DMEs due to Bosch's bootloader change in mid-2020. A very intelligent friend of mine figured out instead how to make a spare DME that was produced before the new bootloader was introduced work on my vehicle and also applied his tune to it!

Very smart approach wish that was around before I unlocked mine, can't wait to see what you do next or how far your going to take it

[brentevans]

Looking forward to hearing your Amsoil Product Results on the wagon! 😉

I so happy there is a tuning solution; perhaps a 2022 Supra is not a bad purchase now? 🤔

[jondeak]

Very creative solution but for 480hp it’s not worth the extreme hassle of pulling the DME when a JB4 piggyback tune will give you the same numbers for a fraction of the effort.

Fantastic video!! Really pleased you have been able to prove this theory👌🏻 I’m in exactly the same boat 2020 M2C with locked ECU 😢 can an older ECU out of an M3 or M4 (F8X) be used? Or does it have to be an M2C ECU? I assume the ECU’s are the same?

[ryanlamarca]

What is that seatbelt holder that I see around 6:25?! I need it.

Hey Andrew, glad you got it working, there’s plenty of S55 guys post-2020 who can’t tune their cars so this is a welcome development. Just out of curiosity, which tune are you running?
(I’m sure you’ve noticed the significant power capabilities of this engine and how neutered it is as stock!)

Hey Andrew - your DME videos are extremely helpful. My car rolled out of production in early June 2020.. what do you think are the chances I have this new locked DME? Is there an easy way to find out what model DME I'm stuffed with?

[onlinesearch]

Have you through about the crank hub fix now that you have more power to the wheels? Thoughts on that?

[devinpolicastro]

Where can i find cmd flashtec link, cant seem to find anyway. Good job on tune

[juanjoseplans]

@FaRKle0079  what do you think about bm3 and mhd? Although you chose another tuner, it would very interesting to know your expert opinion

[DoctorAutoPerformance]

Hi Farkle, I would like to do the cloned unlock ECU for my M2CS. How can I contact you? Pls let me know.

[seattleraf]

I guess I don’t totally get it. Even with this method you’d still need to take out your DME to swap it with the eBay one, right? Is the main thing you avoid needing to *ship* the DME somewhere (and instead you ship the FEM)

[evxlnce]

Hey, I’m looking to get my DME cloned, is the service still available?

[philipmartini]

Hello Andrew, Are there any of these unlocked DME still available?

[ILoveMyHonduh]

So... if you set a DME to unlock 2021 model. and something happens where it needs warranty work. Will swapping back to the original act like it did not happen?

[realMysta]

So I assume you had to find a 'fresh' DME? Not like a used one right?

[sirstardazzle]

Are you able to flash tune your dme through obd2 after you do this?

[junxishang]

Can I know the price, I’d interesting it.

[skbro]

I’m interested. Can I have some info to contact your friend
