BMW 128i ECU Piggyback Tuning Modification Device
was looking at stuff for my one on ebay and i came across this. I was wondering if is any good, or is it just a hoax, and it'll end up doing more damage than good to my car. Heres a link to the site where i found it.

I think you can piggy back there a few mini guys who piggy back the OBC went modifying their cars to a reasonable extent and want to dyno tune with some skill.

if you want, send me the money and ill spit on your car for you. My saliva has aerodynamic properties that will make it go very fast, sinfully fast, and your car will have the wet look too. :w00t:
Seriously, i would never attach anything like this to any car. |

dont do it. Wait for Dinan or Alpina to come up with something for the ECU.
That nasty thing with have to splicing wires in your car and the slices in the insulation over time will reap untold electrical gremlins you'll never chase down until she runs like an 87 jag thats been left in the rain with the bonnet up. Besides do you honestly think all the engineers at BMW left something undiscovered that the maker of the whosywhatchamacallit has found to free up enough horsepower to make it run like a ferrari? if your still tempted; let me sell you my spit also, Its not aerodynamic, like the other guy's, but if you mix it with your washer fluid it will reduce the coefficient of friction on your windshield (and headlight too if you have the cold weather package), and that will result in .0001 seconds faster in the quarter mile and .0000001 faster 0-60 |
