B58 DME close to being cracked apparently

Juan @ bb posted this on *********** last week

One or two months away from flashing the B58 DME!!!

This is huge if true and years ahead of what I was expecting given the supposedly much tougher b58 encryption vs the n55 DME, if this happens then we likely are going to have the car that we deserved from BMW for @50k much sooner than expected.

apparently that was overly optimistic

supposedly its more like 6 months, what I heard 2nd hand, hopefully that's attainable

I heard that port injection is also being shelved for the time being, this engine seems to be all kinds of trouble

Still working on it according to the thread. The guy in the thread who's supposed to be updating is named Juan from Big Boost. If you check their website, they have a stage 3 turbo upgrade for $3300 for the B58 at the moment. But since the DME hasn't been cracked, they rely on the JB4 and throttle injection to get the extra fuel needed.

I agree. Sometimes I believe companies purposely delay it too, so we continue to purchase alternatives.

Haha im skeptical too. Just because its not from big brand dinan or burger tuning doesnt mean its true though. And it takes 8 hours to flash the ecu. But i mean its a start!
