No matter how secure the software is, the DME must take readings from sensors in order to detect operation parameters. The tuners boost power by putting a piggy-back module which takes the readings from the sensors & tries to fool the DME by processing the data.
BMW acknowledges this fact & even provides full drivetrain warranty for piggy-backs made by AC Schnitzer (in Europe only).
