This is my correspondence with Cobb in August, Hopefully this is now available for all N55 cars

Hello ,
Thank you for contacting COBB support!

Unfortunately, there is no update on when, or even if, we will be adding support for the 2014 M135. The new ECU encryption is proving to be difficult and we are still in the process of determining if support will be available. I am sorry that I do not have better news for you on this one but if you have any additional questions, please let me know!

Thank you,
Drew Gorrie

Yeah, currently only support for previous model N55s.

The problem is that is a flash tune, so its a lot more risky than JB4 or other piggy backs

True, just love the device and its functionality, gauges, logging, map switching, performance, etc.

Pricing +-11k locally, pretty steep but looks like a great package!

Speak to Renzzport.
They do do this and have customers running it chap.

JB4 does all of that and more

Thanks bud, will do!

I like the fact that is a simple PnP solution with a cool device to boot :cartel:

I'm sure JB4 is a better solution with FBO and beyond. I will probably just add a DP & CP at a later stage.

Hey bro.ive recently ordered the cobb v3 from Rennzport for my n55 135i (once again we are doing the same mod:=) I should be getting it next week.after a couple days use I will report back on how I liked/disliked the device!
But it looks like a pretty solid product and i can't see that I won't love it.only a bit pricey though.oh well, I guess all premium products are...:coolShake:

M4life on the forums has also had his cobb for a few months now.on two of his cars actually!so maybe he could also give you some advice.:rollsmile:

Cobb is a flash tune and not plug n play.
Dealers will pick this up

Fully understand and accept the risks, I suppose having a good relationship with your dealer helps too.

Dealers cannot pick up a flash tune unless you exceed the rev or speed limiter

Thx Sherwin. :thumbs:
So much misinformation going around on forums.

Cobb is a much easier & convenient plug & play tuning device compared to the JB4. It may not have all the high-jacking novelties as the JB but those that have the JB for ages hardly find a use for the novelties anymore. Lastly, we also not restricted to the boring flash tunes of Cobb...there are a number of aftermarket flashes going the rounds.
