Thank you Lambeau for promoting our product online. I was gladly surprised to see our product advertised online even before we joined the boards.
Right now I would like to take some time to introduce our company to you guys. We have started contributing to BMW world back in 2011/2012 when we built a first E39 540i with Roots/Twin screw supercharger just to say that is possible. Also we have been responsible for doing numerous custom swaps from E46 M62 swaps to E38 S62 builds to Authentic E39 M5 touring builds. All of the work we have done was performed in house and all tuning and software aspects of the swaps have been done by us. We have tools for tuning (and soon will be selling diesel tunes for) Fxx cars including F30/F31 Diesel. We already have read out F31 328D software and now building custom maps for it. So we hope you guys can see that we are not new to tuning and custom work.
We do not spend too much time on boards, but that is something we are going to slowly get into to as most of our customers are you guys, the board members.
To all of our local board members, we hope to see you at BimmerFest in few weeks. We are bringing S62 E39 Wagon, Our testing platform E70 35D, SC S62 built 1997 540i and a 2014 328D wagon.
Now you guys feel free to ask questions regarding this product that we are releasing as well as anything else.

The only way to read/write is to open it to connect to the processor boot pin. Openning the DDE has a lot of risks involved and i wonder how many tuners are ready to take responsibility if someone's DDE does not work anymore. R/W with cheap chineese tools also hides huge risks. I dont say anything bad about the guy advertised in the first post, just revealing some sides that most people dont think of.
I didnt even started with the short and long term effects that improper tuning may have on the engine and subsystems. Generally this engine is almost indestructible, except if someone wants to do this on purpose. But if someone wants to leave the emission related parts on the car and just get a few HP extra, improper tune may clog the DPF in just a few hundred miles. As with all things in life there are proper ways to do something and there are shortcuts.

Yes, it is a risky business, and this is why there are no USA based companies offering the services. Yes a new tuner probably can open the computer, and tune it with basic torque limit increase. That will give you power increase but like bawareca said, that will have negative effects on your car, especially if you have DPF still attached. Such tune will also kill the 6hp26 trans that our cars are fitted with.
On other hand, our tune is tailored to your needs. We have modified over 70 important addresses in the file to address post injection (for DPF deleted cars), Soot control, Pilo Injections, Smoke maps and many more. We also increased torque reduction and de-bounce timers for gear shift to prevent damage to transmission.
Regarding opening the computers. Yes, for someone new to this, this is not an easy task. It can take close to an hour for a new tuner to take it apart, and hope they dont damage one of the chips or the traces on the board. But thanks to a little tool we created, it only takes 5 minutes for us to take one apart with 100% success rate. this is something we guarantee to your customers.Because we are an actually USA based company, if, for any reason, we damage the electronics of customer's computer, we are responsible for replacing it. Customer satisfaction is something we take serious up here.
