Ive had a 335d before, which was mapped to approx 350BHP, ridiculously fats, but uninvolving.  However this is going to be the family car and Im going to buy a weekend toy to go with it next year.

Oli, (you posted as I was sending this)

How are you finding the new (3rd gen) runflats, I gota say I'm suprised that I can easly live with them (until I need to replace anyway).

I'm ashamed to say I've still got 300 miles till run in, nailed it a few times though, the straight 6 is  :evilgrin:

Making enquries about changing the fugly new EU size mirrors, look like their straight of a Citroen Berlingo, thinking of changing them for something a bit slimmer or M3 style, I cant imagine their being a problem changing them for some other 2 door E92 mirrors, they are electric folding/Reverse tilting, heated & Auto dimming, what do you think?

Neil :smiley:

Neil, I havent actually picked it up due to the idrive fault, its still at the dealers!!!  And ive got the performance 269 alloys wiith standard tyres, are RFTs are sh*te!

On the mirror front, I think Im going to either put carbon covers on or paint mine black, to make them stand out less!

Running in, whats that??  200 miles is all you need for a modern engine, and thats purely to let the brake bed in.
