Magically for $5k (to add AWD), the 0-60 drops to 3.5 sec. Also, the ECU is locked/has notification for routine service when it is tuned to flag the car. BMW engineers weren't born yesterday, as it's a cat and mouse game with customers trying to get as much power out of a stock S58.

So what... I am sure people are gonna crack open that ECU very quickly... so it’s gonna be flagged, who cares... I tune this engine, it is only fair for me to be responsible for anything that might break due to my tune... if something else breaks, they will still be liable for the warranty. What else are they gonna do, cancel my oil change appointment?
