I'm going to have to disagree. Having owned vishnu products in the past, I would say Vishnu has a terrible track record. Also very over priced. Also, I am not a big fan of shiv and his business tactics.

Have to agree on this one. When I was researching a car to buy I spent a lot of time on E90post scoping out the 335. Shiv was initially received very well but once his typical modus operandi became apparent the relationship soured. This became worse as competing tunes which are just-as-good-or-better and substantially cheaper came on the market. Unfortunately his status as a supporting vendor at e90 gives him a bully pulpit to silence his critics. His support for legacy products is virtually nil as the EVO community found out.

It looks like there will be better alternatives for tuning the F. I'm actually surprised Shiv wants to play here knowing the limited production...

Ive never delt with them, thats just what ive heard from some EVO people. and you are right, they are overpriced. If i had a 335i I would go with the JB its like less than half the price and same thing.

+1, i'm on e90post quite a bit and shiv has a reputation for poor customer service. There are plenty of alternatives to his products, but you have to give him credit for being the first to come out with effective mods for the N54. Its just a shame that his double platinum semi-god sponsorship level allows him to do whatever he wants and have competition banned from the forum.
