Very True and well put. I talked to the tuner shop I'm working with on my M3 project and apparently the X5 has between 40 - 50 computers that all talk to each other and they've had instances where one is screwed up and it's telling a story to the rest resulting in a nightmare. That doesn't sound fun. I've read in Performance BMW about guys doing engine swaps and it seems that soon after they get everything working, they want to sell their pride and joy. LOL Leads me to wonder. Maybe technology will progress to the point where someday it will be possible to run everything off a laptop and all you'll need to do is add a thin screen to where your gauge cluster use to be and you'll be able to arrange the size, font and arrangement of your dash. That would be wicked.
