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?
please go back a few pages and read what was ACTUALLY being said...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.
