We are talking about the BMW platform, right? The ECU adapts, it works very well and the tuner (BMS) has taken this into account. Not sure how it's relevant to the BMW and why they are being trashed because they used a more efficient approach to tuning.
They worked with the platform they were given. I haven't heard any nightmares about their approach, their prices are lower and their numbers are consistently higher than the other tuners. Not sure at this point what the advantage is to buying any other system if your car is lightly modded.

That is definitely a great opinion to have but can you supply something more concrete then your opinion?
Specifically in regards to following:
-Adapting being the ideal method of tuning?
-Consistently higher numbers?
I think there seems to be some confusion on how "adaption" really works and what is going on in the background. You do realize the stock DME will detect knock, then reduce ignition 3 degrees, if no knock occurs it will be steadily increasing ignition until it knocks again, to reduce 3 degrees. Not sure how that is consistent....

Exactly.
