Based on the prices in the US, I would think the active autoworks would cost more than $1,000 here. I'm not too worried about the cost of the tunes and would be interested in looking at the active autoworks tune, Especially if there is local support.
I'm more worried about voiding the warranty. I believe that the active autoworks tune cannot be easily removed and reinstalled every time the car is taken in for service at BMW. Is this correct?What does the active autoworks tune involve? Also will the active autoworks give error codes with the new v81 DME ECU?
