I was pretty interested in getting the new Audi A3 prior to the M235i and had a 2011 A4 until the new car, so I still follow that community a bit. Crazy to see what they are getting with an ECU tune from the new motors in the GTI/A3.
Can you imagine the gains we'd see on both the 228i and M235i?

Crazier is that the tests were done in a FWD GTI, the AWD acceleration is going to be nuts!
