The German car-maker says its "optional power upgrade" is designed to give customers more choice.

      Even more so when you understand the car already has it… so they take it away just to make you pay for it

        Every car has more HP than you get. Cars are tuned to be as reliable as possible in every condition with a variety of fuel qualities. That is why you see test vehicles on the road, they are gathering data to refine the engine tuning.

        That is why you can tune as car and get more HP or even to make them more efficient without changing a single part.
