the coupe cranks dont like a regrind due to the nitriding which gets removed when ground causing premature wear there a f.aq on here i think

the nitriding would done to a thickness, e.g. 0.6mm, as long as you do not remove to much of the nitriding then you will be fine
You need to find out how thick the nitriding is before you do anything
I personally would just get a good second hand crank, the cost of nirtriding and grinding a crank would probably be more expensive than replacing the crank

Yeah - although they called it something else (danish word, and i dont know what it translates to), but its the same treatment that the Le Mans Audi R8 TDi engine gets done. Actually the same guy that does Audi's did mine BMW also needs a re-nitride treatment when regrinded. Oh and the 20v workshop manual also describes that a re-nitride treatment is required after a regrind.

I was under the impression that you could only plasma nitrite when the crank is actually made as a heat treatment. It can be re-applied afterwards but doesn’t actually do anything as it is not gone deep into the material. Can anyone confirm this?

Thats the way I understand it, surely a new or good crank is a better option.
