...hmmm for what it's worth... i've been running an sstt in my bmw for over a year now and have had 0 problems with it. i know kevin has an even more serious chip in his... and i don't think his engine or turbos have disintegrated yet either 
.
i had my car in for an oil change last week and got a 135 as a loaner. it's a pretty serious performer. to be honest.. if i had to do it again i probably would have went with a 135 cabriolet instead of my 335. it's just too big of a car for me for what i use it for.
in terms of reliability and problems.. that car has been pretty much flawless for me... where as my former g35 coupe... well... let's just say i won't go there

Whats this sstt, a different chip?
My neighbour has a blue 135i. I see and hear it every day and I really like it.
If your going to winter drive it get snows. He didn't and got stuck on our court in 4in of snow. I helped push him to his driveway.
G's and Beemers can be friends!

FWIW, I haven't had many issues with the car. Just had my first actually - low battery voltage caused my SRS to malfunction; had to have dealer reset. Dealer is convinced I "tampered with the battery" (I didn't, really, not even just being sarcastic this time). Either way, got it worked out so it's all good.
As for my G, first one had a few issues (electrical), second was trouble free till I sold her @171k km. Maybe I'm just lucky?
sigh 135i/335i trumps our cars in so many ways, so itching to trade in for one but I have my G paid off.... I'm liking the no car payments.... plus our g's aren't worth ish right now...
..and BTW, BMW cars are Bimmers, not Beamers...

BTW, that is the same warranty BMW includes with it's CPO cars.
BMW's are fun cars to drive, but I'd never buy another.

Nothing yet. I have my other car to get me around. looking at my options. I am also planning on buying a condo so that may put a delay on my purchase... seems to me housing tends to appreciate as car depreciate. Better invest at the moment.
I may just save a ton of money and then drop a wad on the 135i...

). made me really wonder where else they skimped on parts... like engine, tranny? i simply just got tired of the monthly visits to the dealer. i'm a car enthusiast... i don't have any loyalty to just one brand. infiniti simply dropped the ball on their quality and service.... but who knows, i may go back one day once i feel as though they've cleaned up their act.
split second turbo timer (sstt) : it's just a mild tune to the turbos. about 40hp and 50ft-lbs (simple plug and play). they now have a newer one with a little more aggressive numbers.
although there's a similar unit by burger motorsports (juicebox +) that does the same thing and is about half the cost.
if u want a good list of performance options have a look here:

i liked the car for what it was.... my biggest beef was probably with the dealerships themselves. worst service i have ever seen out of a car brand. i also thought some parts within the car were of extremely low quality. ie... seemingly endless failing door locks/windows, paint chipping and peeling from interior buttons (i mean seriously infiniti? paint falling off?? ...and u won't even fix it under warranty? ). made me really wonder where else they skimped on parts... like engine, tranny? i simply just got tired of the monthly visits to the dealer.
