Very interesting and informative analysis indeed - thanks!

I am also interested to do an ECU update as the only mod in my car and I was also considering AA. Are there any other reliable, trouble-free alternatives?

I think the AA Flash is great!!

What will happen to the AA ECU upgrade if you bring your M3 and they upgrade your ECU software. DO you have to pay another $900+ to AA to upgrade the AA ECU again?

Hi Niqui,

As you can see from the reviews from other board members the software is a well worth it mod. It has been loaded on stock, and modded cars both with substantial gains in peak power and through out the power band. I can see your from MTL, and the drive down for a pulley install wont be worth it...but if you are interested let me know and we can work out a few options to suite your goal/budget at the same time as we are an authorized CDN AA dealer, on top of it I can load your software in house.

As for ECU updates, the software can be loaded/unloaded if you need a BMW update.

GR8000, there are many companies out there offering E9X products but reliability and customer service after point of sale is key. AAtuning.com is where you'd want to be.

I believe you get 2 or 3 reflashes included . I forget the exact number.

Thanks for the feedback - indeed reliability and customer service are very important (to me at least)

Any negatives, besides the warranty, with an ECU reflash? There's always a tradeoff.
