For $1100 a mild tune makes 390 ft/lb and 434 HP. The dealer will even install it for you. It's 255 tires all around. Every factory car understeers until you dial in a ton of camber. The BMW requires camber plates; the Audi requires adjustable control arms. I don't see how a 6 speed manual from Getrag is inferior or superior when installed in a BMW.
