In short and English: if your clutch is broken they will detune your car... because they (BMW) know that most 1M's have more power than advertised...

^^Yup! Remember when the transmission specs(N55) came out... the trans (or maybe it was the clutch) can't handle that much power. I think it was rated only at 380Nm or so. I can't remember exactly.

A 1M puts out 450Nm +50Nm on over boost.


Also... I know when I got my German flash tune... my tuner said most (135i)clutches only last about 30K kms with one of his tunes. I don't shift hard... and since then I have about ~50K on mine now.
