This means you may get a discount from your local dealer, but a discount place like Tischler isn't going to be able to sell things for much cheaper.</p> <p>No drop in dealer cost means no price drop for the educated shopper.

No drop in dealer cost means no price drop for the educated shopper. Bummer.

As for the warranty- anything can void a warranty and unlike other brands the parts are warranted for the remainder of 4 years 50K or the 2 year accessory warranty- if there is an issue you get a new piece. The parts themselves carry the warranty unlike some others brands that are 30 days and you are SOL...</p> Bimmer1- I am not sure if 20-30% more is realistic as these prices are competitive with the likes of Dinan and Turner (the other top brands in my opinion); these tuners complete R&D and test products for longevity, they are also cheaper than some EU tuners.

Another 20-30% cut and they will be a vaild choice for enthusiasts. You can't really tout the warranty coverage here either, as none of the parts listed above would void your warranty anyways, so that's a moot point. Keep those prices coming down so they are 10% over the competitors price and people will be willing to pay for it. Until then, BMW-P sales are going to be weak.</p> I love the idea of a BMW Performance line, however the prices still need to come down a lot more for them to really impact the market.
