AFAIK, GIAC is only available for the previous generation 135i, not the F20 M135i

Just had an email exchange with GIAC who suggest they have completed the code for the newer engine. Waiting on power figures and a graph

IF you do it, be sure to dyno the car after. Would also be wise to dyno the car beforehand to get the baseline for your car, and so if there are any problems or concerns; you know how to act.

Is this a flash tune, I wonder? If so, it suggests they've overcome the ecu encryption.

I like my ESS flash better and better. Get some nice pops in Sport+ and DTC off shifting ~4000rpm

Speeder has become a bit too sensitive but getting used to that.

Various reasons for me personally;
Local dealer support
GIACs proven track record in software delivery.
