I have no association with COBB outside of handing them my wallet a few times. I also stopped paying attention so I hadn't seen any updates on a while and kind of forgot about it.
I did see that panda has them listed so maybe they know if COBB is working the 2.7 @Mitch Panda Motorworks
As far as I know Cobb doesn't so the send in to unlock thing. It either can be done with their tuner (the accessport ) or they don't make a tune for it
I don't think @mr.nice said anything about the 100lbs per corner. That was me, and my point was people will bitch about a tune being hard on the motor but add a shit ton of rotational mass for that same motor to overcome.
Accessport with off the shelf tunes are roughly $700 ( except the Porsche and GTR models ). Custom tunes vary based on the tuner, bet we could talk @chris@pandamotorworks into a group buy
Damn that sucks , I thought I had seen Cobb say they had one but I must have been mistaken.
Either way they'll still make upgrade intercoolers at the very least.
.......... No shit........
Cobb also makes hard parts
1) If it doesn't have a clutch it's an automatic.
2) bmw smgs are trash

The engine does sound damn good though
Edit: the e60 smg ii is better than the e46 smg though
I don't get this. I've felt with both Honolulu traffic and San Antonio traffic daily with manuals. Shifting gears doesn't bother me, mostly because it's my right knee that's trash
