All BMW tuners should be looking to get an ESS supercharger kit equipped car along with all other forced induction kits in their local shop to tune it and offer that tune to their customers. That is just smart business sense. Tuners don't owe anything to any aftermarket forced induction kit's creator. What is in the best interest of the customer is to have options. To see the numbers and the datalogs and choose.
I appreciate the civil response! Yes it happens of course, but you hardly ever see any reputable tuners out there take someone else's kit and tune it, it's a rarity and looked down upon. I wasn't referring to what was a smart business move, it's a question of ethics for me, there's plenty of smart business moves going on in the world that one might deem a little distasteful.
