Either way, its a good racket if people will fork over $1000 for a throttle remap and questionable single digit hp gains.
As for Benvo, I am AMAZED that he managed to bury his OE tuning/powerchip past and is claiming any sort of moral high ground.

Sorry but that is not an accurate gain. Depending on octane, conditions, and IAT, I've seen NA tunes make up to 20+ whp on the M3.
Proper tunes are not just "simple throttle remaps". But you're the expert so I'll defer to you since you seem to know what's changed.
I have never buried anything and I never had any involvement with OE Tuning whatsoever, that was Gintani. I was a representative for PC five years ago after I left sales at ESS. I can tell you for a fact that the PC tune is far better than the tune you decided to go with back then.
Were you paid to make your original post?
Please carry on, have a nice day, never get a tune for your car because it clearly doesn't do anything (everyone that has one is a fool), and stop wasting everyone's time with your unnecessary propaganda. I must drive around with the stock tune in my personal M3 and M5 since they don't do anything useful.
