I have two 6095s on a 60"x24"x24" and I'm very satisfied with their performance.

No bargains.
IMO, it is insulting to Tunze to compare them to BMW. I am mostly kidding, but not completely. I have a pair of 750Li in my garage and they are nowhere near as reliable and dependable as my Tunze are... and the useful life is not even close The BWM do perform at the top of the game when they want to, but the Tunze do all of the time. For the BMW to be anywhere near the Tunze, they would need to be as good as the day that they were built about a decade to 12 years in with only routine maintenance and not need normal parts like Turbos, Injectors, Valve Guides, Control Arms, new Electrical Control Boxes for Navi & Sonar, Dash Buttons... and the list goes on.

I give my Tunze a bath in some diluted muratic acid every 3-5 years and they just work like they are brand new all of the time.

Both are pricy, though.
