I'm sorry my JB4 made BMW too expensive for you to afford. Go buy yourself a Datsun Go. Their not popular in the tuning community and should fit your pocket just fine.

seriously.......? now down to petty insults on what people can and cant afford?

Isn't that the new direction of the thread?

That tuners are making BMWs to expensive?

I don't think the Datsun Go comment meant you can't afford a BMW, but rather than tuners won't be able to make the Datsun more expensive for you in future...

More of an observation than an insult.

Sherwin back to topic, shouldn't an M135i be making more than 190kw stock ? I made 216wkw bone stock. Also if possible can you get one of your m135/m235i customers to take me for a spin ? I would like to feel the power difference

Thanks!

Complaining that Xcede uses the "undetectability" of the software as a selling point is like Warner Brothers complaining that Samsung sells TV's with the ability to play MKV files off USB. For what? To play the legally owned Blueray you ripped (which you're not suppose to be able to do in the first place) to your flashdisk for "safe keeping"?

Please.

BMW Group sold 1,905,234 cars in 2015. Just a $100 premium on each vehicle would give them almost $200million for ECU Security R&D EACH year.

And how much did you lose? R1400, maybe? I doubt it's even that considering they're selling mirror caps for the 1 series at R10k a set. We're paying for warranties on track cars we're not allowed to track. How much money are they scoring there?

I doubt that even with the proper data that the increase of your specific car's price will even be measurable, and if it is, it'll be negligible.

This all brings me back to my first point. You've either got some blind loyalty to BMWSA thinking that they're doing you some sort of favour by milking you for every cent they can.

Or

You're defending your pocket thinking that tuners are costing you a lot of money, I argue that you're wrong.

Or

You're just the most innocent person in the world, and you feel it's your duty to publicly tell people when they're in the wrong, even better when it affects their livelihood.

Its fine, everything is a joke until the shit hits the fan. Glad I won't be around to see that, bye.

Would you like us to escort you to the door? Or is this your way of being dramatic?

I went for a drive in one.... The antilag is enough to make you want to do it (excluding Gizmo obviously).

Ya they recover the costs by screwing their customers in the @ss every 3 months with a price increase weather you mod your car or not you getting screwed... Even if every person who owned a BMW kept it stock BMW would still screw their customers. So F*IT mod the shit out of it

i love the vehicles but that doesn't mean I'm totally happy with the brand...flip you should do this and not feel guilty just because of BMWs attitude toward the bearing thing...complete denial & people left with R100 000 plus bill:skit: then you have the auto box on the 330 & 530d!

Gents,

I am loving the differing views and opinions and don't want this thread to be closed, lets keep the insults minimised, language clean and comments above the belt.

As you were...:ty:
