Remember, that the motherland monitors this forum like a hawk.
I didn't know that, I personally dont know anyone who has a tune on their x3M I was just referring to the post I have seen on the x3M forums. So mid cycle they updated the encryption? is that what you are saying, which in turn makes it harder/currently not possible to tune the newer models? interesting, ill have to chat with our service director about that and get up to date

Yes. I'm not sure the exact month, but I think about June 2020 cars to now can't be tuned (yet), although workarounds and such are probably just around the corner.

Tuning for 2021 X3M Comp late 2020 Build Date? / BM3 Not Supported https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1799049
I posted this recently in the G20 forum:

This is interesting from Manhart:

"The reason for the update is connected to improved security for autonomous driving and other driving assistance features and keeping hackers away from potentially intervening with the vehicle's systems. The lock has been introduced in the bootloader of the ECU and is implemented on processor level, which means that "bench unlocking" with direct access on the ECU is no longer possible.

The outcome of this situation means for newly manufactured cars that the following options are no longer possible:

No OBD unlock
No bench unlock
No bootpin unlock
No ECU remapping"

It's going to be a "inside job" meaning a Russian hacker will infiltrate the BOSCH severs and find a way around the new DME. Apparently, the contract between BMW and BOSCH has a lifetime guarantee that the DME can't be cracked as its hardware embedded— similar to the Apple T2 chip. An other route will be a BMW engineer selling out to a German tuner. Too much money out there besides just tuning the DME such as deleting CEL when installing DP's— this affects a majority of the aftermarket parts industry.
