There's a few threads around the internet on this, between here and a few of the BMW sites. Start here: http://jalopnik.com/5792464/mercedes...nds-of-dollars
Pretty sad. At one time they were considered a reputable shop. Now they're gone. Seems to be a lot of that lately.

Yup. Mad drama with HPF (Horsepower Freaks) too.

Most of these tuning companies are TINY and really don't make much. Makes you think about who you trust with your $100k car. If ABC tuning sells software to 100 AMG owners and 20 of those motors blow up, ABC can just tap out, and close up shop. If they had an LLC formed correctly, the owners have no liability.

That's sad... we will probably never see their top mounted Intercoolers for the M113K engines...

Anyway, that mod is useless since there is the Weistec Supercharger Upgrade available, with it's own intercooling system.

Interesting. It was probably that Brad character who ran off with $$. I never liked the dude. Everytime you'd call him out on his wild power claims, he'd defend their products like no tomorrow. When you asked for proof or how he came to the conclusions, he'd either give you the run around or never answer back. I remember a direct claim for this shorty headers on an E55 gaining 80+rwhp because of the design and coating.. what a joke haha. Long tubes give half those gains on the 55K.

I had many issues with him when I owned BMWs and when I came to the W211 platform.


Good riddance. My .02.
