some people are paying about 150K usd (sometimes more) for m3s in their country, so im not surprised that the motors would be more too. americans have it pretty damn good.

And currency exchange rates also play a significant role when calculating prices in USD.

LOL "no mods.."
never change the exhaust on a modern car with computer controlled ignition without adjusting the timing. Of course _you_ can't adjust the timing! Now the engine is running ignition advance that's way too high for the new exhaust. I bet if you tear down that engine there will be pits all over the pistons and heads from the detonation.

What do you think aftermarket "software" is doing? LOL. Now you're relying on some random guy to get it right instead of a team of engineers at BMW. Judging from the maps I've seen in person, they get it wrong - a lot.

I don't use aftermarket software because IMO it isn't a must unless you have deleted the primary cats. |

It can't. Such statement the "expert" made is nonsense. ECU adapts ignition constantly, depending on various factors (temperature, humidity, load, etc.). So an aftermarket catback just can't harm your engine.
Oh, and the aftermarket aftermarket software that the "expert" mentioned usually is off the shelf for cars with slightly different mods. In other words usually it is not custom tuned to the mods of the specific vehicle. But it also adapts ignition to a certain level. If an aftermarket software is too aggressive for the mods, then it results in knocking and can harm your engine.

I don't pay anything, the speed is in my work place The highest speed you can get at home is 300/300, costs ~33USD/month. Sorry for the OT. BTW, back on topic. I have the video in which I recorded when the engine failed. However, I still haven't got permission of z00m to post it.

You have to be a scientist and a computer engineer to understand how it really works, there is no explanation that will be satisfactory for any layman, but if you're curious as to how these things work: http://forums.openecu.org/

You are also stating that many respected tuners on this board are committing fraud by lying to their customers in stating that these exhausts keep the engine within acceptable limits. They are concealing and/or falsifying data. Your statements also conflict with various respected members as well as posted data. But, by all means, continue to scare people out of modifying their exhausts. |

Would a bad bearing cause a piston to go through the block?

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
