Jags told me PP-Performance sent the ECUs somewhere else to be programmed. I thought he mentioned Alpina but I could be wrong. He definitely said PP-P didn't do them in house though. Maybe they send them to Bosch, Bosch unlocks them, and sends them back? That seems a bit sketchy though don't you think? Why would Bosch do that when they more than likely have an agreement in place with BMW? Seems like a huge conflict of interest and probably violation of agreement with BMW.

So many conflicting stories and bullshit in the tuning business. I guess everyone has to be bigger, better, faster, and everyone else sucks. Not ranting against anyone on here -- just a general statement. I just want my damn car tuned correctly and safely without all the BS.

Man, i want my car tuned so bad also, it's not even funny, but there isn't anybody out there yet...
Brian, i give you a perfect example: last night i was at the track and ran 11.95@ 121.97 mph, completely stock, just BMC filters and on my brand new 21" wheels with a 12" rear and 325's.
My buddy has an '13 M6 with Dinan software, AMS catted DP and full titanium Eisenman exhaust. He was there also and ran a best 11.77 @ 121mph...that's about $12k in mods and less than 2/10's faster than me stock. So, i'm telling you until anybody cracks the ECU and does a full tune thru the OBDII we will not see any cars competing w/ those AMG torque monsters. Oh, and on the way home we did 3 pulls from various speeds and he barely edged me by 1 car length.
Here is a quick pic of my new shoes.Full photoshoot coming soon.
