Why did you guys go this method (piggyback) vs the stage 2&3 DME flash you offer for previous models?

This option will not be available for the older E9X's with the N55 engines. The solution for those cars will remain being a straight software tune.
We went to the piggyback tune due to the fact that the new factory ECU on the "F" cars is impossible to crack (or very close to it). We figured this out early in development and for awhile were pursuing a flash tune in conjunction with developing a piggyback box as another possibility. When it became evident that the hours it would take to crack the ECU would mean additional years of time lost to development the idea for a flash tune had to be tabled. Being a for profit business made that the only realistic choice.

You will be pleased to know that diesel has finally been accepted as a developing market here at Dinan and is at least on the radar for future developments. However, the directive is still that the gasoline powered vehicles need to be done first since that is the vast majority of the vehicles out there (bigger market, bigger priority; go capitalism). We get enough inquiries on diesel though that the needle has been moved and is in future plans unlike its dismissal in the past.
