There will be no $1,500 tune to add 100HP...at least not for a looong time. Initially think $5-7K for maybe 30-40 HP. As time goes one, the cost will decrease and HP will increase. Just look at the progression of the M5/6 tunes. And do you think BMW is going to make the new M3/4 ECU easier to crack?
