Basically it's not compatible with mass production... Oem parts, etc...
We started ordering our custom harnesses for our v2 units in the 1000's quantity, because we use it on BMW/Audi/vw... so it needed to be universal.
We also don't want the BMW version to become more expensive than the vw/Audi units.... Right now it already includes a boost sender and a tubing kit which added $20 to the price... Which is less than those parts cost us, so it's already lower margins. Adding more BMW only harness changes would almost triple the price of the harness (because of extra labor and lower quanitity since it won't share with vw/Audi anymore) .
This is a "made in the USA" product, and many aspects are hand assembled... So the only way to keep pricing compatible with allowing margins for group buys and dealers we have to make our different models share as many parts as possible.
Probably too much info, but hey, Im just a 1addict as well... Might as well keep it transparent with you guys... I do need to make money ;-)
