Except from not extendibg to relativistic effects, Bohmian mechanics is equivalent to standard mechanics.

In BM the guiding equation contribute to non-locality in Bohmian mechanics.

The guiding equation in Bohmian mechanics contributes to non-locality by establishing that the trajectory of a particle is influenced by the wave function of the entire system, not just local interactions. Specifically, the guiding equation dictates that a particle's velocity is determined by the spatial configuration of the wave function, which encompasses all particles in the system.

It highlights Bells work, saying

This means that changes to one particle can instantaneously affect others, regardless of distance, thus violating Einstein's principle of locality. Consequently, Bohmian mechanics explicitly demonstrates non-local correlations inherent in quantum phenomena, making it a stronger assertion of non-locality compared to standard quantum mechanics, where such effects are often more implicit and contextual
