If I may add one more tidbit to this side-conversation...
A few years back I was taking my BMW in to be serviced and I made a comment about how much technology had advanced when the "technician" took my key, stuck it in a reader box and was able to get all kinds of data off of it including ECU logs!
He told me about a warrantee claim that was made a few months earlier over a brand new 7-series that a dad bought for his son. It was returned a few months earlier with a blown transmission. The "technician" said when he inserted the key from the car, he was able to tell that the car was moving at 70mph at full throttle when the car was shifted into reverse. He was quite proud of himself for being able to deny the warrantee claim due to abuse.
Anyway, just thought that I would share.
