The tuners will always hide behind the fact that it is not their responsibility to let you know potential problems. That would be bad for marketing.

Here's the bottom line for all...Don't mod your car if you know nothing about cars. You can't increase HP 50% on a stock motor and expect everything to be just like you drove it off the dealers lot forever. Problems are inevitable and if you have no understanding to recognize it, they're only compounded. As for this cylinder 5 thing...Just like the bearing issue, I need more info before I accept this as fact. The phrase of the day is an oldie but goodie....."Chrome don't get you home."

Tuners are only out for themselves, so relying upon them for information like that would be completely foolish. They wouldn't sell parts if they told you that the mods would likely damage your engine.

The bullshit part was your request for more disclaimers. My point was that if you ever decide to go down the SC road, you have enough of a basic understanding about engines, namely our engine, to make an informed decision without disclaimers

OP, Thanks for posting this.
It's very unfortunate that this happened but I really hope that more information surfaces. BTW, for those that commented about deleting this thread, the only way that this thread will be deleted is if the OP requested it. This is a very important thread and I'm hoping that we can learn a lot from it. Posts, on the other hand, are a different story.

i9 think i see where the OP is coming from, at the end of the day AA treatment of this customer was wrong imo..... trying to pass it off on bmw, was wrong simple as.... but op you also should be partially to blame for that part BUT... as an s/c customer i see where your coming from, youve put a kit on a car 1500 miles later your car is dead, unless thats plain bad luck you have to point the finger at the tune, now AA at the time were so cagey about what exactly had happened that this coming out now looks far worse for them......
op can i read between the lines here and just say, you think this was a tune issue right?? Did you ever get any AFR info?? any evidence of detonation or lean conditions?? We all have opinions on this but at the end of the day, id be saying exactly the same as the op... im just being honest..... if im honest aa should have handled that whole situation including letting the community know what happened properly, if they did that, they simply wouldnt be having to deal with this now nearly 2 years on!!

Unfortunately we dont really know how AA handled this situation, but hopefully more information will surface. Not enough info here yet. I always get a little suspect when a story comes out long after the fact. |

Whenever I am involved in a business transaction that goes wrong, in which I'm the buyer, the effort and steps that the seller go through to correct the situation is more important to me than the mistake itself. If they go out of their way to correct it, I would respect them even more than if there was no mistake at all.

My .02..if you want a supercharged car buy one that from the factory was designed from the ground up for FI. The S65 motor by itself in OEM form is already making over 100hp/litre, you bump this up to 150hp/litre and you don't expect something to give means in my eyes that you have your head in the sand. Look at cars that are blown..take a Mustang GT500 for example. This car gets a lowered compression ratio, forged crank and rods along with a piston package to boot. Not to mention intercoolers that are designed around the engine not some afterthought..this is just to name a few but you see where I am going with this. Why does the manafacturer go these lengths? Its because they have to warranty the car.
Yes stock motors can blow, but do you not feel that slapping on a blower will exasperate the situation? Kyoshi...lot of experience with Cialis huh? LOL..

More disclaimers? Wow, now i know who is voting away my freedom.
Adults make decisions, either you can afford to throw away your bmw warranty and accept risk, or you cant and want to cheat bmw.. But then if your gonna cheat bmw, why should aftermarket company trust you? Hence no warranty on anything other thsn parts they sold you. Dont worry AA, rational adults can filter bs and see who deserves what, even iff we only have 33% of the story.. |

I think he said AA suggested he put it back to stock and even reflashed the ecu for him to make it look stock but got caught on the top speed. I wonder if there were any engine overrevs on there too?
