I emailed the maker of this. Nice guy. Made this because the worm gear in his 328xi was damaged and didn't want to have to buy the whole unit.
Thoughts.... If you are driving your XI car normal IE not launching nor power shifting, I think this unit is great and will work for anyone. If your track or street racing then I can see it being an issue. The gear that the worm spins is plastic if I'm not mistaken. Either way the maker feels that it won't hold. He can make that gear out of a harder metal, just he hasn't had to. Also he hasn't sold any. I believe it could be worth a shot of trying only if your current worm gear needs to be replaced, you are willing to do the work yourself and if the gear breaks you are understand you'd have to replace the whole unit. It hasn't been proven and there is only one 328xi out there (the makers) doing the r&d.
