It's STUPID.
The 328 software is engineered as such, to match the car and all its hardware and fuel trims, boost targets etc. The 320 is not the same, largely due to the compression ratio. So just loading up 328 software to a 320 is a hack job. At least with BMS they watched all the information from the sensors and had safety in mind when they tuned the 320 SPECIFICALLY.
I am sure there is safety margins and you can get along fine with a 320 left stock on the 328 software and used the highest grade fuel. But for $349-500 you could just buy the BMS tune and make more power and know it was done with the 320 in mind.
When spending money on a new BMW, when a few hundred on a tune is turned down over a software hackjob, your money priorities are a bit F-ed.
Lately it seems like most N20 tuning threads devolve into this Russian software hack crap. Put it in it's own thread instead of muddying up the rest of 'em.
