  | The rumour has it: AC Schnitzer getting sued by BMW AC S. has apparently broken the code how to modify the 335 turbo engine and apparently its easy to modify the engine. BMW accusing them of industry-spionage. AC Schnitzer has stopped selling enginemodification on their webpage. AC S. has deleted it from their webpage, its was online a couple of days ago. This isnt officiall yet. Lets see what happens. too complicated to translate it but if you are from sweden you understand it "Rykten gör gällande att AC Schnitzer håller på att bli stämda av BMW. Detta pga. att AC Schnitzer tydligen tidigare har erbjudit trimning av nya BMW 335 Turbo via OBD interfacet. BMW anser då att AC Schnitzer har gjort sig skyldiga till industrispionage för att ha kommit över RCA koden som gör detta möjligt."

| Re: The rumour has it: AC Schnitzer getting sued by BMW AC S has apparently offered tuning via the OBD interface. To make this tuning possible one needs the RCA code which would require industry-spionage to get hold of. Hence the sue. Hope you get the point which Andreas sort of already explained.

| Re: The rumour has it: AC Schnitzer getting sued by BMW More power is always good.  But seriously, this sounds pretty serious. Especially if AC Schnitzer posts this on their website - without permission from BMW. BMW would probably never have given permission anyway...
