2020 440i

Hello, I’m looking into to buy my first bmw and it’s a 2020 440i, I want to do some bolt on mods to it, and was wondering what piggy back I should use.

Piggy back = 👎

Wait until you have enough to unlock DME and flash with BM3 or MHD

BM3 or MHD are flash tunes, not piggyback. BMW locked DME in mid 2020, so it will depend on your build date. It costs around $250 to unlock.

So I just researched when it was manufactured and it was during June 2020, how easy would the dme unlock process be?

I believe you need to remove the DME and have a capable shop do it, but I'm not real sure

for example, kies motorsports does it. you ship it to them, they unlock it and ship it back.
