SapphireM4 · 12-27-2007, 02:43 PM

Count me in.

nilM3 · 12-27-2007, 04:15 PM

I am very interested as well. Please let me know once a date has been set.

I'd be interested if the timing works out to come up from St.Catharines.

Let me know date and time please...

I spoke to Gregor and they are planning 2 or 3 week of January. I was in there for my own car so I couldn't get all the questions answered, I will be emailing him the questions and he needs to dig into the issues too.

Gregor and Ted are looking at the pricing but for 08's, I would definitely band together since the ECUs have to be shipped. The shipping & brokerage charges are over $100 if you do it seperately so in addition to you guys asking for a discount, there is an opporunity to save on the shipping of the 2008 ECUs.

You mean the ECU flash is not going to be done right on the car at the dealer?? Elsewhere I read said it would only take an hour or so to do at the dealer.

2008 ECUs will need to be shipped out but if there are enough of them, you will save lots on shipping and brokerage charges.

Does that mean 2007 models like mine can be done at the dealer?

SlammedR8 · 01-16-2008, 12:36 PM

Great...can't wait!
you've added me to the list...but add one more! my buddy is coming with

maz · 01-16-2008, 09:35 PM

I also am very interested. If it is possible to get a group package I'm in for sure. Love procede HATE taking it out to get any little thing checked out at the dealer.

stressdoc · 01-16-2008, 11:48 PM

Looking forward to a group report! Hope you guys get some reasonable weather to test it out. It's getting cold in this part of the world.

T Bone · 01-18-2008, 05:29 PM

I spoke to Gregor yesterday and Budds BMW is going to make an announcement on Monday.

Either Gregor or Matt will post somewhere as well as telephone the people already on the list!

Good luck!

Have fun, I am actually surprised they would do a test run on a flashed-car, sort of a license to beat the heck out of the car for a weekend. I am sure they will make at least a few sales on the trial though. Finally, T-Bone you can decide for yourself on the merit of the flash.

I have already made a decision on Dinan.....my opinion doesn't affect my desire to help Budds and fellow BMWs guys in Toronto if this is the path they choose.
