This bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "hacking your mini"

Are you saying you can reprogram the ECU?

If so, with the right leads & software, could this be done from any computer (laptop, palm, etc.)? If so, it could be revolutionary... Owners developing new ECU settings & sharing them on the web

Am I dreaming here? ....Or maybe this is already happening
