Its like there is a large contingent of owners who were formerly Civic/wrx/mitsu owners who are used to inexpensive mods and/or younger owner who don't have alot of $ yet.

I would agree with you on that a bit. I really dont mine paying a premium for a quality product if its justified. If I could have gone back 12 months, I would probably tried EC. I have spent about $3,300 on tunes of different variety and have settled on the cobb (only lost about $700 on resale value for other tunes). If it wasnt for the fact that I have a tune that I am happy with, I would give EC a try. Its just not worth throwing more cash away.

good info guys and I'm somewhat glad I'm back in the 335i. I think my front M3 tires are pending a sale, so that's half my tune money for COBB. Will check out EC and weigh out pros/cons. Who should I link up with for EC questions & price (vendor).
I"m considering TopGear or **********s for COBB. Leaning towards TopGear.

You can purchase the Cobb local at WSTO...

also if you are interested, VS Motorsports is now distributor and tuner for EVOLVE Tune:

might not be what you are looking for, but that is another option

If I get inpatient, then that's good, but 10% tax....that's 80 bucks. Egads
There may be a small E90 discount and free shipping around here somewhere.

Price is really good at 750, but out of stock. Will read up on it though. Thanks

I'll call or email WSTO today then for what a cash deal on COBB will be. I'm leaning towards Cobb at this point.

Successfully brought back the water heater from Sears

75th street once you drive west past 59 is absolute shit, they need to resurface that. Even in my mom's Cadillac it felt like my fillings were going to be rattled out.
