Thanks for clearing things up. I normally stay out of threads like this because I was "not there" at the time of the incident and usually get only part of the story. Although I am not a tuner, I have a fair amount of knowledge with force induction with past vehicles...mostly various Mustangs. I have grenaded my share of motors too...one money shift on my turbo 03 Cobra (new short shifter is what I'll blame for that one), one bad tune, and two meltdowns from excessive heat. A bad tune on the ops car would have shown itself a lot sooner, and the plugs would have shown that. I also ASSUME the knock sensors would have picked that up. From the evidence shown, if I were a betting man, I would put all my money on a "money shift". Once again, i wasn't there, and there are other possibilities such as a manufacturers defect on the part of BMW, but i have my doubts about that. IMO. AA went above and beyond by buying back there SC kit...they didn't have to do that, and with the prices of those kits...that's about half the cost of a new motor right there...so, in my warped mind AA paid for half your new motor when they didn't have too. No tune in the world will prevent an overrev ona money shift...

Obviously this was an accident.... a very expensive accident... My brother did this on his E36 M3 back in the days driving home slightly buzzed..
cost him like 6 K to fix..bmw told him the same thing that the car was over revved and he grenade his s52 motor with 4 K miles. Take it like a man and stop pointing the finger at Active. The timing sucks especially with the baby on the way but live and learn my man. |

Sucks for the OP but I'm glad we're seeing both sides, at least we should soon.
I find it odd that AA and Jordan's company are connected. Jordan advertises AA on his website and I assume sells their kits. Just not the normal thread you see when things like this happen. You boost your car then you assume the risk in my book. |

You do know that shadow memory does not record time date info? There is no way anyone can tell when an rpm limit was achieved. There is no way for anyone to know when any recorded data was recorded. At this point the data in the shodow memory confirming what happen during motor failure is 100% speculation.... |

They can turn down his claim after seeing the car hit 190+mph , aswell as over revving !
I have a friend who would redline his motor on a daily basis ( don't remember the exact details as it been some time ) and after a while he had an engine problem & Try'd getting his motor warranty'd , one scan from the dealer reveal'd how many times he was in the redline zone so they put the together the number of redlines and came up with a ridiculous number of how often this kid redlined his car so they denied his claim ... But they ware never able to say you redlined your car at this date and time . Pretty nuts cause he wasn't even supercharged the car was stock lol |

I guess they can look at the mileage vs last data recorded vs the kaboom and combine all 3 and get an idea of a tale, I'm a bit stumped myself ..
Good info though which goes to show how they keep tabs with these cars , I wont be surprised if one day they can tell time , place and reinact what actually happend . |

Yes, of course that is assuming that it all happened at the same time. But yet again, that is an assumption if indeed there is no way to know when the alleged "money shift" occurred. I don't wanna sound like I'm taking sides, I just want facts and not speculations. Once AA chimed in, everyone took their side as fact yet according to what has been posted by both sides, nothing can be proved. Continuing to play the devil's advocate, isn't there a possibility that the alleged bad shift could have occurred a mile from AA after the kit was installed?
