Sadly 2020+ cars are SOL. I don’t think anyone has “unlocked” the 2020+ ecu yet.

You may want to consider the NM power module as an inexpensive (relatively) and trouble free add on to your Mini (if the factory JCW tune is unavailable). Search for the threads on this forum for piggyback tuners and see what you think. It is easily installed and removed as necessary. Dinan (which I have on my M240i is pretty much trouble free), but on the Mini Dinan piggybacks had some reported issues. Almost universal praise on the forum for the NM. Plenty of videos on how to install and remove. There are lots of tuners that provide more power and flexibility, but much depends on your tolerance for fiddling with things if the car starts misbehaving.
