BMW tuner options for the 335i

I have read at least two threads and have heard factory service technicians say that BMW will be oferring tuner options (performance and suspension) for the 2007 335i. I guess BMW wants to capture some of the aftermarket business. Has anyone else heard more about this? I would rather wait for BMW to offer ECU remaps, exhausts, CAI, etc. and not have to worry about warranty issues with non-OE products.

I have heard that once somewhere on the forums about BMW offering performance upgrades. If you're willing to go off of rumors and willing to pay out of your ass for it(remember its BMW), then go for it bro. :-)

By the way, this whole warranty worrying is kinda funny. I mean, how much modding to the engine do you think most people are gonna do?

If it is a rumor obviously I will not be "willing" or able to "go for it." Please clarify what is funny about "warranty worrying" bro.

What about DINAN?

I would expect a ECU reprogram some time next year. (My SA also indicated it would be coming and they do the Dinan upgrades at their dealership). AND Dinan warranties the car for its upgrades.

Whats funny is that you will most likely never do anything serious to the engine. The most anyone has the guts to do is the Xede and an intake, maybe downpipes and you proved it when you said you're worried about your warranty.

Why even ask the question when you know good and well the Xede or ECU remaps and maybe an exhaust and most likely cosmetic work and that is it. What of any of that, besides the Xede which by the way you can pull out in 10 min, will void the warranty?

Thats what's funny.

Acutally, Biotch, that was aimed at DrGP, whom I quoted......
he's a B6 S4 owner and I had 2 B6 S4's, so I know him well from AW.com
He's defecting as well..........

Jumping from an a4 to a 335 will be HUGE......

Enjoy, biotch !! :rocks:
