[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 502483, member: 3592"] Electronic intervention is what enables the tail-heavy Porsche 911 to defy the laws of physics and handle like a supercar. Ditto the perfect 50:50 balance of all BMW cars. The ABS hydraulic module is not just a pump, and the physical cost of the pump and control module are just a small fraction of the total. The major cost proportion is the firmware, which contains BMW's closely-guarded DCS algorithms, which took billions to develop. As I'm in a related electronic automation business, I can relate to this. The major part of the cost is IP - Intellectual Property. On that score, RM11k is quite cheap and that, and the fact that they're so willing to give goodwill warranty, is probably because they realise that the module is not as bullet-proof as it should be. That's always the automation engineer's nightmare. :wink: [/QUOTE]
