At this moment in time, for a late 2012+ N55, only JB4, Dinan and BMW PPK is available. Cobb is my favorite, but I am in the same boat as all other late 2012-ers being that there is currently no support. I like PPK and Dinan too for the already mentioned reasons. The negative to them of course is that they are expensive and you can't flash custom maps.
Saying Cobb will 'never' provide support for the N55 is a bit of a bold statement. They may have alluded to it in some posts over in the E9x forums, but if someone kept asking you over and over (me included) if you would add support then what sort of response would one expect? Dinan's done it? They have a team of software engineers specifically for fiddling with the software.
Further to that, the M135i, M235i, 335i, 435i, 535i etc. all have the N55 engine. That's a hell of alot of cars = big user base = big R&D:Potential sales ratio for any tuner should devote time to cracking the security.
The F-chassis DME's are EVEN MORE secure than the E8/9x DME's.
