Description on the DME site is "Expertly calibrated and meticulously refined, DME Tuning’s ECU software is guaranteed to give you MORE of a good thing." If the ECU is locked then I guess that's a no go.
You are talking about a retailer called DME tuning--- Im using the letters DME in relation to the ECU which is just another way of phrasing it.

DME is usually a Porsche term for ECU and I carried it here.

Ive done probably over 150 tunes in my life with revisions on many cars.... to date I have not had an OTA wipe a tune. That could be possibly very different with the S63tu as Ive only done piggys but I was chiming in with my tangible tuning experience.

I have no experience with DME Tuning (the company) but have heard great things.

EG: I have a DME (non company related) tune on my Porsche and it needed to be unlocked. I have had 3 OTA's and no wipe or relock. BMW owners mileage may vary.
