Considering Germans are conservative ,10-15% underrated still we are at less than 600 lb-ft torque input and probably 600-650 HP power input...Isn't this much tuning harmful for a DD car that is supposed to be pushed to the limit SOMETIMES (ie LC or hard acceleration) and run +100k miles in 5-6 years?
I agree..there are going to be some power train issues, no question. I remember the issue BMW had with the 335i power kit on the previous E90.. BMW were never concerned about the power increase on the motor but the power train...
