+1. Realistically speaking, a tune is probably the best one could hope for for the N51/2 engines.
For the tuners, it doesn't make sense to FI a 325/28/30 which requires a hell of a lot more time and R&D effort than to develop a tune for N54. FI for 325/28/30 = $$$ to R&D, $$$ to sell = less potential customers. 335 tune = $ to R&D, $ to sell = more potential customer = more profit.
For the customers, personally speaking I would rather have a 335 with factory warranty than a SC on my 330i without a warranty.
Put it this way, BMW poured millions, if not billions, of dollar into developing the N54 engine and related components, yet they're faced wtih a faulty HPFP... Do you think a tuner can get it right the first time when they FI the N51/2 engines?
