Don't you think if BMW could extract 35+ hp more out of the car for a few dollars they wouldn't do it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize their claims are BS.

We will soon be launching a Remus Powerizer website, and the best we got on a 530d is 28PS increase and 40nM torque and not for 22$

Well, DMS can remap the software on my 535d which takes it from 282 to 338 bhp. This is just software. BMW could deliver their car that way for $0 cost extra but they don't. But that said, the product is probably pretty cr4p and not good for the engine at that price.

If we can do a Group Buy, think they would do it for $10 each?

With turbo diesels it is very easy to change the fuel mappings and raise boost levels for more power. This is not the same for non turbo gas engines.
