Odd because I got a response saying there is absolutely no timeline yet. Lord knows that I pray you are right.

Like you said everything can be cracked. Bigger issue I see is auto updates being pushed to cars.

Well you know, tuning has been super reliable on the S55. I can see why people would want to rush to tune the S58.

It appears they managed 700hp/650tq 👀

I completely agree. I don't know why people are excited. I'm excited for AWD, but have 0 excitement for the S58. The S55 is so we'll sorted already. The S58 will allow maybe 50-100 more hp on stock internals. Built, they'll likely be the same. 50-100hp is barely enough to make up for the weight difference.

Most likely how the last gen started, via piggyback. Crazy gains for being not even 2 weeks after the release!

Don't forget the pinned crank hub 🤭

700 HP lol... the power magicians are there. Being in the industry, this is clearly either completely fake, or fake numbers.
A piggyback will provide power, but 200 HP crank with a piggyback is just bs... and everyone in the industry with experience will know.

Show me datalogs / dynonumbers & VBOX info, then we'll talk again

That what I was thinking. Even if they already had an intake, down pipes, and 100 oct or Ethanol, that's still crazy high.

I reread the email and realized they were talking about the 2020 date in which the ECU's changed. So unfortunately it appears there is no line of sight to a "crack" date. Wishful thinking....

I'm exploring other options in the meantime. I was going to transfer my BM3 license and be on my merry way. What are folks on the G80 side thinking about in terms of piggyback tuning until (if/when) flash solution is available?

I have no interest in JB4, or piggybacks in general. I've already used one and hated the jerky shifts and yo-yo power delivery.

Hopefully someone actually cracks the ECU soon

If I were to use a piggyback again I'd probably opt for JB4 again. They have so many users and likely have the best hardware.

But I won't touch a piggyback again, and BMW can detect the piggy just as easily as a flash tune.
