Well, our chip-busting colleague is short on neither of these qualities.  So, 
shall we expect a first draft say, mid-week Jim?

Seriously, I can see that the real challenge once the code is busted would be 
for ham-fisted soldering iron wielders like me assuming I could afford to get 
my hands on a Bimmer with OBD-II.  Can you say cold-solder joint?

Or possibly our draconian air-sniffers who may eventually insist upon opening 
brain boxes to check for chip authenticity.  Just another freedom drifting 
away.

Those people who brought you oxygenated fuel, now present the chip police 
coming to an emissions station near you soon!
