I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) remote start is not even an option due to European laws about it being illegal to have the car running without someone in it? I don't know the details, but I think this was covered in a thread a while back.

OP, can you please ask the interviewed person about this too ? Maybe it's not just a rumor

Some things for the E90 club that I would like to see available:
- A BBK that better fits the E9x (and not a repainted 135 brake kit) - Pricing that would reflect a higher volume of sales (some prices are out of this world for marginally better than stock products.) - A performance spare tire kit (since one is not offered via factory) |

Question: What is BMW doing to increase awareness among dealers about the Performance line products?
I ask because I have been interested in many Performance products, including the Power Kit, but the dealers never seem to know anything about them. It would be nice if the dealers could provide concrete information re: roll out, costs, benefits, labor etc. for people (like me) that ask about the Performance products. For example, since many Performance products have a high price tag associated with them, I don't think it would be too much to ask to have a fact sheet to distribute to people interested in the product. I've asked several dealers, in different states, basic questions about Performance products and they never have the answers. Thanks for representing e90Post!

BMW performance upgrades are price wise more expensive and deliver less performance per dollar. Most people end up going with after market things because BMW does not offer the same performance per dollar. If BMW was to deliver the same performance per dollar most every buyer would consider them first. I think BMW does not realize that if they take this seriously there is a lot of money to be made out there. Quote:

Any plan for Z4 E89?
Waiting for performance parts for the new Z4
Recently I put the BMW performance brake in my Z4 (front only) but the rear brake is mounted with electric handbrake. Can't do the upgrade yet. Would like to see more performance parts for Z4 Thanks

I hope with the Z4 sDrive35is, more parts trickle their way to the BMW Performance line.

The performance seats would be perfect...but crash testing would be too expensive.

There are a lot of Qs being asked here that are not in the purview of BMW Perf Div. Maybe Eric can pass on some of these Qs to the appropriate sections.

The N54/N55's are pretty much Frankenstein on wheels with all the swapped bits and pieces- aftermarket style. Keeping the upgrades in line with BMW will preserve what they are about.
For an extra 100Hp, LSD, and a real suspension by BMW Pparts, would anyone give up 1 year of warranty? or the option of obtaining an extended warranty? I ask it this way because the motors/cars are already built and they weren't designed with the intent of such mods, regardless that they're obviously capable of it. How can we sell BMW on the idea that we want much better performance products? You can ask away on the questions, but try to sell them the idea as well. They should take a poll.
