These dyno #s and easy tuning is no surprise since its a BMW.
This has been the standard going back to 2007 when N54 Engine came out.
Supra will be ultimate car for tuners imo - hope Toyota dealers are ok with ECU flashes and don’t void warranty.

I'm sure they will have the same perspective as BMW dealers do - it's most often a problem. If you modify your car and cause the associated damage, you can be held responsible for the repairs. Often boils down to your relationship with the service advisor and dealership

Difference is BMW dealers have dealt with this for over 10 years and for most part they are OK with it. Partly because the “enthusiasts” drive revenue for the brand especially with ///M cars and Mperformance parts.
I know Subaru is the opposite so we shall see how Toyota dealers handle it.

United Speed Racing based in GA bought a Launch Edition and took it out to Road Atlanta for baseline runs. Their plan is to develop road race track specific products for it. Glad to see there will be more than just drag builds.

Are you saying that I can tune my M340 and if my engine blows for whatever reason they won’t void my warranty? Bolt ons I can understand but increasing boost, fuel, etc. I have a hard time believing this and it seems contrary to what I have read on the BMW forums. I know some friends that work at Nissan and Mercedes they can easily tell if you have tuned the car and if they send that info abroad if there are any real issues with the engine to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with. If it has, you are paying out of pocket.
Most ppl flash back to stock before going in for service.
If the dealer is not cool, they can easily tell ECU was flashed but i have never heard of it.
If you blow your engine, you are SOL - im talking about just regular warranty work that would not be result of a tune.

A lot of us have been waiting eagerly to get our hands on the new Supra but some of us have a bit more money to burn.
