Well as I said, European Car achieved the results, not me or someone I knew. Here is the segment of the project. Of course this is the one segment they do not show the dyno graph (every other time they show graphs), but they state the gains were found on a dyno. I trust them as a reputable magazine. The entire project is a very interesting read, especially the early stages of bolt-ons, etc.

oh ok so that's normal? i've tried it without cats (pop was loud), with resonator there's still there. the guy from the muffler shop told me that i need to look at my engine or something. the guy said about the timing of the engine so i thought i'm have problems with it.

There was also a dyno test in the Track Forum a few months ago that showed 13 rwhp gain. I don't know what to make of that test and the EC test versus other tests showing no gains. In theory, there must be gains, so I am more surprised by the results showing none.

Brake Fluid Light/ Brakes sticking
Published (2009-11-28 18:37:00)
While ther could be other causes of the brakes sticking, the most common cause is one or more sticky calipers. Rebuilding or replacing them is the fix. If the level is fine in the reservoir, the level sensor is probably bad.

MSRP is more like $20k... but you can use a laptop with a carsoft/vag com cable and get the same results, or buy a GT1 off of fleabay for ~$800.

If it gets listed on ebay then maybe it's real but seriously it sounds way to much like a scam. Look on ebay on their FAQ section. They list they don't offer 3rd party insurance and Paypal. I wouldn't trust that amount of money unless you paid with you CC.

It looks exactly like the AA bar except for the carbon fiber part. It may be an earlier version of their all aluminum bar. The strut mount and the bar itself look exactly like it though.

i have uuc pullies and of course you won't notice any difference...but every little bit helps since you are freeing up lost hp...uuc sells blemished sets (new and unused, but may have a scratch on it from the factory) for decent prices...they can't be seen and they perform the same, so why pay more for a perfect set?

Get on your local board (towards the bottom of the main page) get a good BMW shop in the area recommended to you and take it there. It costs more initially to take it to a good shop, but in the long run its cheaper than listening to idiot mechanics and or shotgunning parts at the car.

I like mine so far, but the car is kinda begging for a slighly higher rev limiter (still stock ECU/software) Def a power increase higher up in the rev range. Would do it again. get a ASC delete ...

You can call it "falling for it" when someone puts down the $$ and doesn't receive it. I've found 3 of my 4 BMWs through craigslist, and everytime it was one of those "seems too good to be true" deals...I have 3 running 318i e30s for less than $700 combined. But you are right about CL being littered with scams.
