The Ten Worst Car Tuning Disasters Ever Recorded
Reminds me of that one time at Bimmerfest a few years back when one of those tuner showed up with a supercharged S65 M3. He was revving the engine when it blew up in front of the crowd... |
Hey, someone has to push the envelope on this stuff...
What does make me nuts are two things:
1. Tuners minimize the risks, or worse THEY dont understand the risks...
2. Owners who blindly believe salesmen...or look at the risk through a prism of other cars, other marques, other tuning efforts that took years to perfect.
Ive had a front seat watching some pretty amazing efforts, where people knew the risks yet pushed the envelop in a reasoned, planned project- ultimately to the benefit of many others. And seen the flash in the pan, dirty tuners with blown head gaskets and bent rods.
I go nuts when an owner worries "will this impact my warranty?"... I have total respect the owner that says "I could wind up buying a $20k motor if this goes wrong".
Anyone thinks a 'tune' is a 'thing' you buy, like a bushing or an exhaust- and that for the E70 all tunes are pretty much the same, or they tuners know all the limits- is kidding themselves
I dont know where Lambeau is on this spectrum. I hope he doesnt confuse the ready availability of tunes in the M5/m6 world for this being 'just another version'. 500 miles on one car?
Make sure you know what kind of player YOU are.
Its as important as the tune and tuner!
