A buddy of mine has a tuned R32 that's a blast to drive but I think he has as much $ in --engine, suspension, turbo--as it cost to buy. I drove a tuned Mk 6 about a few months ago, appeared to be a piggyback upgrade and it was wicked fast. Was thinking a similar upgrade would be just the ticket for those very special occasions when I can let my hair down, so to speak. And, from what I read, they're undetectable (?) from a warranty perspective which sounds good. Otherwise I've already got more performance than I can use on the street (and I love to use it!)... 228i, to me at least with the M package is such a balanced machine, fits like a glove, and is so responsive I didn't need to test the M235 which I'm sure is great. But I've had high(er) horsepower rides in the past so have been there done that. Keep posting the tech details and pros/cons, guys--this is great to study up on!
