Hartge has already prepared a piggyback upgrade for this model :

jhbodle · 01-05-2013, 12:16 PM

I almost bought that Hartge upgrade, but I just couldn't justify the insane cost. Would make the 125d very quick though

Bengaz · 01-05-2013, 01:49 PM

Something cheaper will come out I'm sure. They want over £2500 for basically a £250 power commander off a bike. What a rip off!

I have to agree. Whilst I don't mind paying more for quality (hence the BMW!), I also don't want to pay stupid amounts. If it was £1000 then although it would still cost much more than all the other tuning boxes I would buy it. £2500 is ridiculous though. BMW would probably charge less than that for their own power kit if they ever produce one.

The AC Schnitzer box is £2600 as well, I don't know how they ever sell any at that price.

I guess it must include taking over the BMW engine warranty since it is so expensive.

True. I don't know if I would trust a third party company with my engine's warranty anyway.

Bengaz · 01-06-2013, 02:51 AM

No, it does not include warranty. I've enquired already about this from the UK installer...
All he seemed to do was diss the likes of superchips etc.
