Love it, great styling touches. Really enjoy mapping these, not the easiest to map for really good power but worth the 3 hours on the dyno just to see the owners face when they test drive them afterwards!

Beware of tuners that attempt OBD port remaps, depending on the software version these ECU's can go kaput unless mapped in boot mode on the bench.

The spoiler was one thing I had to have, I just thought the rear was a bit bland, the pics dont do it justice the carbon looks great in the sun..

Im thinking about some spacers but i'm getting new wheels for summer so might just wait and get a more aggressive fitment :rolleye:

Some VMR v710 in black would finish that car off perfectly, they also do aggressive fitments so you wouldnt need spacers.

I have Hankook Icebears on the front and Contiwinter Ts810s on the rear, they are brilliant, my road is completely froze and covered in snow, my golf was stuck here for 10days last year, I was told the BMW would be terrible but not had a issue so the tyres must be making the difference ...

Tyres really do make a massive difference as I have just found out on my 330i. I've just today driven down a road where a WRX with summer tyres was stuck. And to think, I nearly bought a 1983 land rover this week for the winter as I though the BMW wouldn't be going anywhere  :scared:

We have 2 outlets, one in Newcastle and the other in Hounslow (near london).  We charge £350 for a map on the 123d including dyno testing.

Hope this helps.

Cheers. Im very tempted by CSl wheels but the only company I can find that do them in a decent offset are in America... I'm really undecided with the wheels, the plan was to buy new but now im tempted to just get some spacers as I do like the standard ones ?

Looking really good with the cosmetic mods - Makes a big difference  :happy2:

I'm not a diesel driver though, so my love of your car is limited.

Loving the red interior and it's very classic with silver. I think the car will look cheap with a vinyl wrap. Just being honest in my opinion.
