If I understand you correctly it's ok (in fact even great) for other brands to be tuneable, but it's not for BMW

In Europe the Tuning industri started with brands like BMW...
i always viewed BMW M ( not BMW overall). as a pure sports car, of course the cars do have luxury to them now. meaning people didn't talk about how much power can be gained with a tune. although yes there are many people who are modding the M cars. but it wasn't one of the major points of buying the car. on the forum people are treating the new M4 like a 335i.

there in fact is a thread started right now that both of us posted on. the OP is disappoint if there is no room left on the table to be gained with a tune. whats funny is that every owner i have met with a 335i that is a car guy. has a Jb4 tune. those 335is are "tuner" cars. i have a nothing against modded 335is, in fact i think its a pretty cool car. i know a few people who have them. its just not my cup of tea. i am the kind of guy who would want a V10 R8 over a modded GTR.

also i was talking about LS engines because i was trying to show you that one of the attributes a big V8 has with modding. which is a whole different topic.
