DIY: Using BPC Flash Tool with a Mac
I recently purchased the ECU tune from Bimmer Performance Center for my 328i. The tune comes with a DIMSport flash tool which is used to load the tune. However, the flash tool requires a Windows computer to update the software and load the tune files, but I only have a MacBook.
Since I do not have access to a Windows computer (even at work), I did some research into alternative ways to accomplish this. Turns out this can be done using a virtual machine running Windows 10 and there is free (legal) software which you can download to accomplish this. I'm documenting this here in case anyone else runs into a similar dilemma. Cheers!

Nice share dude! My tune is waiting for me at home but I probably won't download my stock DME until Saturday since I'll be getting home late so this will save me the trouble of booting up my old MacBook with XP installed on it.

Glad to help! Keep in mind that the Windows 10 image is a 20GB download so you'll want to download it several hours ahead of time and make sure you have plenty of extra disk space.

So I see! I had to delete a few things from my iTunes library since I've crammed the HD with lots of movies to watch when I'm away from home!
