Also, it's still so new so I'm going slow with some of the more aggressive mods. I had a huge warranty issues with my 04 so I am trying to be sure that if anything happens to this one, it will still be covered. These cars are amazingly expensive to get repaired.

The work on my 06 and my 04 has all been done by a good friend of mine up in Indy that is a certified BMW Master Tech or whatever you call them and knows MINIs inside and out. I haven't been living back in Atlanta all that long so its been easy thus far. It would be pretty nice to be able to get my oil changed around here though. Hmmm... 5K, I need to get that done... even though my service counter says I have 6K to go.
i feel ya the cool thing about the GIAC software is it is flashed onto the ecu and can be turned off so the dealer can't even see it. i do not know the cost of the software for your ride but i know for the VW its around $500, but there is no mod better then this software, nothing else can give you the power you get for that amount. All the shops i've listed have more the capable techs... i think they have a master bmw tech at autofab, and EPG one of their techs is from Germany he knows every german car
