Bill, thanks for posting & letting us know !

Question about "tuning": I know you guys need & want to sell new equipment but when one of your S/C's comes up for sale as a used item from one of the E46Fanatics forum members, what does it cost $ to get a new E46 "tune" from ESS to operate the used S/C ?
