The VTT solution was done for me at 20 hours. $130/hr

This is another thing I don't understand. VTT is local to me and they quoted me $1000 for the spline lock labor so it comes down to $1800 in total. Huge difference... However, I can't decide on what to do as most people seem to go with either MaxPSI or Gintani.

Here’s another problem I have with this ok let’s say
I say Fuck it let me spend the 5k to fix it and what if
It fails and I bend valves and destroy my motor what
Am I gonna tell the dealer ooo I had somebody open my motor up the change something better off letting it

If your car is stock and under warranty then of course there is no point of getting this fix as it'll be covered under warranty. People who are considering this fix while under warranty are either tuned or planning to get a tune. Once you tune your car, you probably won't get a replacement under warranty even if you flash back to stock and lock your DME.

that is a good idea if you are stock, but if you have any flash tune or piggyback on the car BMW will know and void your warranty if you destroy your motor. Flashing back to stock is not going to help.

That's cool, but I think you can pretty much count on the fact that if you grenade your engine while tuned, nobody is gonna cover you.

I dont know if it is accurate to say that "most people" go with the other fixes. The VTT is a fairly new product. I went this route because I didn't want any drilling done. It's a great piece of workmanship.

As far as effectiveness, as has been stated before, the only way we will know if it doesn't work is if the crank hub spins after the fix.

I hear ya about VTT and install times. They quite 10 hours...that's awesome. Both Autotalent and EAS (two very respected shops) found it took 20 hours independent of each other. If VTT will do it for 10 hours, Go for it

I might do the maximum psi one has anyone have feed back on that I got a good price on it

I think the spline lock idea is genius and this should work very very well. I'd take this over drilling any day .

I actually would like to have this done but I need to find a shop in Germany that can do it. And that speaks english.

Billy at BMB autowerks does some good work. That's my go-to place. Used to work for MaxPsi now works for himself.
