What if they just straight detuned the engine below advertised peak hp or removed the S3 transmission setting to “prevent advanced wear” (read: prevent warranty claims related to using an advertised feature). They are simply betting the money they will save on one end will outweigh any financial risk on the other. What right does BMW have to remove a feature we ostensibly paid for to save themselves from warranty claims, especially when that removal continues beyond any warranty period and we’re not allowed to decide to be okay taking the risk? |

Keep in mind this is the x1. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is across all their platforms.

The hellcat and demon use the zf hp90 and are not limited to the number of LC. That transmission can take a beating even with way more than stock power. My HC was around 900hp and never an issue w the transmission. My friends demon is running 8.9 in the 1/4 and the tranny has never had an issue. What breaks on these cars are the rear ends or stock driveshaft.

So let me understand this affects 2018 to 2021 or per LCI only?

To me, when the answer is "no" it's not in the contract and "no" you can't consult it, they would better not have integrated a LC at all in the first place. I agree with you that there is much more to this car to enjoy, but that is not a legal redemption for an explicit diminishing function that they even promote in their glossy brochures. |

Kind of a sidebar, but I agree with the Tesla move not making a ton of sense from the M5 unless you stop the comparison at “fast 4 door”. The materials, build, and experience are night and day different. Panamera or Taycan would make more sense IMO. |

Of course, I'd be much happier with full LC but c'est la vie. |
