For those of you who've been following on my journal you'll have known this is coming
For many years those of us with E46 M3's have had to pay for tools to flash our DMEs. No longer, this app is FREE to use: Freeware license here
Disclaimer
Using any tool to write to/modify your DME is not free of risk. You should always ensure that you take a full backup of your DME prior to doing anything else (the app will try it's best to get you to do this).
This is version 1.1.0 of a tool developed by an individual (me). I've done my best to make it robust and reliable and test it as much as possible. Others have also helped with testing.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE DEFECT FREE!
Acknowledgements
heinzboehmer , Bry5on and George Hill have been instrumental in helping to test this as well as providing significant amounts of extremely useful feedback that has helped make this a much better tool that I could have achieved alone. I am very grateful to them for the time and effort that they have put into making this a reality.

- Recycle DME (aka virginization. This entirely wipes the Service Info and Adaptions blocks. If you don't already understand what this is and why you might want it then don't go near this, if you try to you're going to have a lot of pop-up confirmations to deal with)
History
- The app captures everything you do as an item in the history, indexed to the DME serial number. This means you have full history of what you've done, and means you can restore to any point in that history.
