By comparison, the BMW Performance power kit offers increases of 15 kW and 50 Nm - it'll be interesting to see the price comparison, and therefore BMW's view of what having a "clear" warranty position is worth.
Yeah you're right, 45KW gain. My mistake. Still, you'd expect more than the 27Kw gain at the wheel with 45KW at the crank.
I believe the "old" SSTT advertises ~ 30KW (40hp) & 70Nm (50ft.lbs) gains, at the crank not the wheels I presume...

Whatever. Nice car Orlin with awesome midrange!
