    So am I buddy...BMW Performance parts have a long way to go to be taken as "serious" track tools. Alas, if dealers here are bothered, they must throw a track day at YAS Island for the public with some BMW Performance-equipped cars...Could that happen?!

      so if you take your car to the track very often , then go for it .. because that's the only issue I face when i go to the track , i can't handle the oil heat more than 20 minutes of hard driving ..

      I think you are right - around 30 BHP and 50 NM of torque. further I guess your comment about the heat supports why the original kit includes an additional radiator/fan (which I guess also goes part of the way in explaining the somewhat high cost as this is not "just" a re-map but also additional parts)

          But what i am sure of is that its gonna cost u a lot less for a better result.
          Keep us updated! Good Luck

          Well personally if i had money i would go for this.
          Yes i agree 10,000dhs is to much but think about it.
          1 .you keep your warranty.
          2. Your fuel consumption does not increase remain just like stock.
          3.You gain 30 HP and 50Nm . Which means (could only find the info for the 4door) 0-100 0.2s faster and 80-120 0.5s faster.
          4.they add an intercooler, change your fan to high speed fan and take out your fog lights and replace it with vents. All this is for better cooling. So when your in summer and its 45°C and stuck in traffic you have more cooling power.
          5.BMW made this so Yes 10,000 sounds alot but i think in the long run its worth it.I mean yes you can gain 40-60 HP from JB4 and it costs 2000Dhs but you risk canceling your warranty and service contract and in 3-4 years I think you have to spend more amount in repairs.

          PS I was collecting money for this kit but got bored and impatient and blew all my money for the BMW performance exhaust.
