Interesting thought - surely the new M3 will be open to some minor power boost with the turbos? Would be funny to see it with even MORE speed :/
I've fitted/removed a jb4 - didn't take that long (quite simple really). Interesting about the politics - i just understood the jb4 to be the kinda defacto standard of easy tuning options, and haven't heard any horror stories. If i had an e89 with DCT i'd be doing it

Re: E89 35i remap
I've read a little about the new M3 tuning.
Apparently it's a similar situation to the M5 in that the encryption is yet to be broken.
BMW put a lot of effort into stopping people fiddling with the new M3/4!
There was rumour of a leak that would lead to ECU remapping on those engines but I'm not sure anything has come of it yet.
I did read that to get the increased power in the new M3/4 they massively upped to boost to something like 18psi. Probably a bit of room for tuning but I can't imagine it will be as flexible as the n54. But then not many cars can push an extra 100bhp with only an ECU remap.

Re: E89 35i remap
DMS and BMW Chiptune from Hayes can remap a new M5 ... I think they can do some but not all - depends on what software is fitted. The results are impressive apparently - not that the car is exactly lacking in power to begin with !!
