I actually did PM Cobb.

But I thought it would be good to see if anyone else felt the same way regarding the AccessPORT. Maybe if there is enough demand COBB can make a business case.

Powertrip, I have read and taken some of your advice before from the forum, and I do appreciate it. But don't be condescending with me. I am a reasonable guy and I did search the forum to see if there was anything written about COBB on M3Post before starting the thread.

We all share the same interests, so let's enjoy it together.

I am considering buying one for my supercharger as I would like to have a race gas tune for the track that I can switch to when needed.
Since the directflash is available for E60 M5, does that mean they have broken the tunerlocked ECU? Or does it mean the E60 ECU is not locked?
