To summarize, shortly after the start of 2021 M340 production Bosch switched things up and moved to a new DME. To date, the new DME has not been able to be unlocked by the aftermarket.

This is a typical cat and mouse with BMW and the tuners. However I do understand this latest DME presents some new and unique challenges (in terms of an unlock)

Globally Mission Performance has been the first to crack every rev of B58 software/hardware to date....time will tell if they will be first to market again
It's not a new DME, it's the same ECU. It's an update in the OTP (one time programmable) bootcode of the ECU that closes a previous exploit that allowed arbitrary code execution when the ECU was removed from the car.
It was explained to me differently (or maybe I heard things differently) but I'll go with what you said (because you seem more in the know vs me)....cool thanks for the info and clarification
