If everybody who expressed interest from this thread and the one I started it should. It'd really be disappointing to not reach what they are expecting. However, we don't know who has sent personal emails and not post on the forums.

Maybe a price breakdown may help.
It appears to me it's as such:
$799 retail
$719.10 at 10%
$679.15 at 15%
Minus any taxes or shipping costs
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

No I did not post in other forums. There is a post that I started. I am at work at the moment. So to sit and search thru threads to make others aware would be greatly appreciated if someone could. It'd be really nice to get this thing on the market and keep it there

On the other thread about this impending Evolver-R group buy I posted that I'm not in America, my car is Euro spec and that I posted on my local forum that this group buy was going live Monday. Never heard any complains from Evolve.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed that on the previous thread discussing the group buy I posed the question to Evolve about possibly including some coding with the tune to which Alex replied yes. For those who don't understand what that means, imagine not having to listen to the seatbelt chime or holding down the unlock button on your remote so the sunroof fully opens not just goes into tilt position etc. That's what I call a deal sweetener, search coding I this site to get a better idea of what's possible. What exactly Evolve will offer as far as that concerned I don't know yet.

No it's not, HOWEVER , do not let that stop you from organizing a large group to support the N18 model cars. If I'm not mistake, evolve and burger are developing systems as we speak. Start rounding people together. Power in numbers my friend.

FYI,

For those of us with only 91 octane available, a 93 octane + rating can be achieved through a few options:

1) Per Terry at BMS: 20-30% E85 in the tank will achieve a 93 octane rating.
2) Race gas mix: I live in CO so 91 is the highest rating but there are quite a few race gas dealers. About 20-30% race gas will achieve 93+ octane rating (about 2.5-3 gal will do the trick).
3) Torco Unleaded Acclerator: http://www.torcousa.com/torco_product/un_acce.html

Just in case any were holding out due to their state octane grade maximum there are easy options to achieve 93+octane.

Ya I was initially wary about E85, but at the same time I don't think Terry would be say something unless he knew what he was talking about. I got this info from the BMS tune thread when I searched for '93 octane rating'.

Glad to hear Torco for sure works. It costs the about the same per fl/oz as other octane boosters from Pep Boys, but it *actually* boosts octane.

What has changed about the tune since you took it off the market?

Also, I know that BMW/Mini likes to update the software on these cars and that the version can vary from car to car. Does the version of software the car is running effect at all how the tune performs?

We saw some issues with carbon build up, that we did not like, so we went ahead and have done some adjusting to our tune. Also, when a upgrade is provide we usually update your tunes to the new software (working on fine details, but we have updated them for free of charge in the past)

Cool. So if my car is running Revision G software, but the most current is Revision J, there wont be an issue? I know you can go to the dealer and have your car updated, but that costs money

depending on the situation we offer upgraded tunes to the updated software offered by Mini. If we feel it is necessary to update to it we will go ahead and offer it. For example, the current BMW E9x M3 software is 240E, this update from BMW provided a extra 20-30hp. We decided to offer a free update of our tune for the 240E. If we feel this is necessary we will do so.

But if you for some reason have a update installed by the dealership please let us know immediately and do not run the tune we originally send you.
