In the N54/N55 community, having a JB4 + Backend Flash gives them maximum control over the parameters and allows them to fine tune everything along with having all the capabilities of the JB4.
Spot on.

At this time, the DMEs must be bench flashed once in order to remain unlocked.

We always prefer the flash route, but this provides an elevated platform to piggybacks to work from, as well as the other options that were not available previously. BMW can detect piggyback use even if its removed before service. This usually doesn't become an issue unless a failed part is being claimed under warranty and PUMA case is opened.

Some prefer piggyback tuning, some prefer full flash. Choice is up to the end user.

RPM limit is raised, not removed.
