I checked with the closest dealer (Montreal) and hardware and install would be $2560 + Taxes. Thinking, thinking...

Short answer, no. Besides the states not having access to the 1 series (shame) that chassis/DME was utilizing the older encryption that would have been a software flash tune. Since we had no access, one was never developed. I don't foresee us going back to it either unfortunately.

Emissions. We currently have a test car with the CA Air Resources Board so a definitive resolution should be forthcoming in the near future. DINANTRONICS was designed to be emissions legal so legality in ALL 50 states is a strong desire. Until then in CA emissions-like states the device is a "racing product only and can not be used on public streets".

Yes. The dealer may need to order a new bracket kit if they have not done so already but it is available now.

Wow awesome news! As soon as they're legal in California I'm calling to make my appointment post-haste (I assume that my local center won't sell it to me otherwise?).

^ The 35i model is $1999 and should include all the parts above but DOES NOT include labor and other fees your shop may add on top. The 28i model is $1499 and should include all the parts above but DOES NOT include labor and other fees your shop may add on top.

Where did you get the $117 because the two places I price checked with was both around $171 and $178.

My mistake, the hourly rate was actually $119 times 1.5 hours which makes the total labor $178 unless you get a discount. Check bmw excluservice that's what the owner quoted me.
