Hi

Because we live outside the EU, we can get the unit without VAT so it cost 192.44 EUR, and shipping was 45 EUR. Given the strength of the Aussie $$ at the moment, very cheap!

My car is a Xdrive 23d auto.

As for warranty and insurance:

a) you cannot detect that the box was ever on the car as it is installed past the ECU and directly into the fuel rail, so warranty not an issue as long as you remember to take it off before the service!

b) insurance? Well, the unit is very small and not easily noticeable so I wouldnt be too worried. Can always quickly take it off if you need to!!

What is amazing to me is how much better the power and fuel use is though - makes me wonder why the engines are detuned to such a level.

Anyway, to me it is well worth a very minor risk!
