What Nate means is that no one has cracked the DME so far, so tuners have very limited control on the unit.

As for the Piggy vs flash, handsdown flash is always better. However, with current amount of control on ECU, a piggy seems better and that's my opinion.
Correct nobody has cracked the ECU encryption. All "tunes" on the market are using a BMW press file.

Not necessarily true. Take a look at the E9x M3 S65 market.

Tuners just need to break the encryption and you will see some 900-1000hp M5 around.
