Two weeks ago I saw a LM blue 135i coupe in the BMW dealer workshop in Hobart. The dealer told me the owner had been on a spirited drive around the Island and had planned attending the BMW club track day in Hobart. Unfortunately during the drive down the engine shat itself and now needs a major and very expensive rebuild. The dealer claimed the car had an ECU retune/upgrade and they refused to do a warranty repair so the owner shipped it back to Victoria. I had considered doing one of these mods to my car but this has made me think twice. Of course its possible the problem had nothing to do with the modifications and I have no idear what chip was used but I feel sorry for the owner. I hope he sorts it.
