BMS pulled the plug and support on its many products (including jb4) and shifted focus towards being like Dinan: offering very weak (to stay on safer side) tunes/products, but for higher prices. Hence, less and less people look their way. It's just not worth it. There are other piggybacks like Racechip and some other brands. The rest of crowd is gone with flash tunes: MP, BM3, Bpc, DME, ESS etc.

If you want to stay safe on warranty side - just go with piggyback like Racechip. If you want more performance then go with tunes. BMS is pretty much dead.

If you something similar to BMS stage 1, it would be RaceChip RS.

Flash is great and all. But please do your deep research.
Since they able to flash through OBD2, there are lots of company offering flash tunes.

There are pro and con on both piggy back and flash tune.
Just do your research deeply.

I won't pitch anything about RaceChip since I am one of their active reseller and you may think my comment is biased.

Yeah, as r33_RGSport said - if you really care about warranty - maybe go with piggybacks. Tunes are easier to flag down by dealer. Piggybacks can be flagged too, but much lower chance of that (as they usually don't increase rev limiter, speed limiter, and don't change reflash counter etc.)
