DESCRIPTION

Tuning Support for Gen3 LCI Mini (2020 - 2024 B46TU, B48) and DME Unlock Info

Please read careful!

We are the the first Canadian dealer for AutoTuner. While we have used various tools to tune these vehicles, when it came to the development of LCI models, Autotuner provided all the necessary solutions. As of today, you can take advantage of  DME unlock at any AutoTuner Dealer available in the area close to you!

If you're new to this, note that all BMW MG1 DMEs are locked after the 06/2020 firmware version. Without a DME unlock, tuning for your vehicle is not possible.

Unlocking Your DME and Getting Tuned:

We’ll break down the process to help you understand how to unlock your DME and achieve the best performance. Regardless of whether you're pursuing a Stage 1 upgrade or GP3 Turbo upgrade, LCI vehicles come with the best engine and turbocharger compared to pre-LCI models. With just a Stage 1 tune while retaining all emission systems, we successfully achieved 275 whp and 300 ft-lbs of torque on a JCW car using only the stock intake, stock exhaust, and stock intercooler. It’s an amazing platform, so if you're still contemplating whether it's worth unlocking your DME, think no more!

Unlock Process

• Unlocking Options & Shipping Your DME: Any of our authorized dealers can perform a DME unlock on site! If you prefer to ship your DME for unlocking, Autotuner HQ is now active in the USA. You can package the DME yourself ensuring it is securely wrapped with at least 2 inches of bubble wrap on all sides or you can order a protective shipping case directly from the Autotuner USA website. (Note: If you purchase tuning support through us and ship your DME to us for unlocking, the unlock service is free.)

• Ordering the DME Unlock: You can order the DME unlock directly through the Autotuner USA website, where you can schedule a pickup using an Autotuner shipping label. Because MG1 DMEs are high-value units, Autotuner handles pickups using fully insured express shipping. Depending on which day you place your order, turnaround time can be as fast as 1 business day.

• Flashing Your DME: Once your DME is unlocked, you can order the OBD2 AT One directly from us, and our team will provide remote flashing support. The OBD2 One operates via a mobile app, and step by step setup instructions will be included with your shipment.

Tuning File Package:  

We’ve tailored our approach for LCI cars to provide the most efficient and optimal solutions for enhancing performance without breaking the bank. Our full Tuning File Package is designed for 91, 93, and E30 fuels, supplying everything you need to operate your LCI model effectively. This package allows power levels to increase from 270 whp and 300 ft-lbs of torque to 330 whp and 350 ft-lbs—all without any hardware modifications, while maintaining full emissions compliance.

All maps are specifically tailored to deliver a refined driving experience and peak performance while staying within a safe threshold for stock engine stress. Additionally, this package optimizes for colder engine operating temperatures, extending the life of all plastic components in the cooling system as well as the oiling system.

We do not recommend upgrading to high-flow downpipes. However, if you live in a hot climate, an upgraded intercooler for Cooper S models is advisable. For JCW cars, while it's not mandatory, it can provide additional benefits.

You will be received an email with a detailed step by step on how to get started on your AutoTuner One.
