Bay area tune shops

I've been itching to tune my 2020 m2 competitions but refuse to ship off my dme and can't find any local Bay area shops to bench flash my dme. Anyone know shops that can bench flash tune my m2 competitions with bm3?? Dont wan to drive down south but looks like that's my only option.

There’s no need to bench flash, just down the agent from PTF and use an Ethernet to OBD cable.

2020 are not obd - basically anything after March 2019 have not had any access via OBD - Bench Unlock is required.

We work with Silicon Valley Bimmer, I believe they can unlock on the bench, but if not they can take out your ECU and send it to us.

Turn around is fast.

+ The tools we use do not require opening the ECU like KTAG or CMD

Hit up SVbimmer in Santa Clara and they can flash your car with the BM3. I'm currently on stage 2 now with FBO mods and no issues.

DM me if you have any questions.
