Very valid observation.

I was alluding to some of this in my references to the e90post and n54tech forums. The various tuners and their customers tend to have strong views. That debate has just spilled over here. We have customers of BMS here, a tuner that does a lot of business with piggyback modules. We have a tuner from the UK that is promoting a different approach, using a new map instead of intercepting sensor signals and spoofing the ECU. Both approaches work.

IMO, the debate is better without the personal name calling that began.

People who are interested in increasing the power of the 35d engines and are just learning about the different approaches, the warranty implications, the ability of BMW to detect modifications, etc, can have a hard enough time without the heated rhetoric.
