[QUOTE="oldbmwfan, post: 15723362, member: 182294"] People said the same thing about fuel injection. "You can't tune that! A computer controls it!" They said the same thing about cars with variable valve timing, and cars with direct injection. Give it 10 years, people will figure out how to tinker and the costs of a screw-up will come down as the value of the cars drops. Why don't you see people porting out the throttles on Ferraris? It's not because the tech is so different; it's because they don't want to screw up a highly valuable asset. Also, I'm not sure it's a terrible thing if the factory engineers are putting out engines that are close to optimal performance anyway. It's pretty cool when the manufacturers are putting this much engineering and innovation into their engines, rather than designing to the least common denominator. I mean, we own cars that come out of the box with 526 HP and can spin at 8k+ RPM and they have a freaking warranty. Good time to be alive, IMO. [/QUOTE]
