Would love to hear your feedback Neil, especially with you having been in the 335i for the past 6 months+.. I assume you have the DCT also? What's your thoughts (compared with DSG)?

I did want the Coral red leather interior, but I was pushing my luck with the car in the first place and had to prioritise what few options I had to be fair (DCT and Xenons were a must for starters)..

Regards the BMW Performance parts, are these the ones I should be looking at?

Is the new single turbo (twin scroll) version as tuneable as the previous twin turbo engine??

As it turns out, the old N54 twin turbo engine is a more tunable engine if you are wanting to go 400+bhp (compared with the N55 single turbo unit). But in my case, I will be going no further than mapping with this motor (which produce the same figures at Stage 1) and will not be going to chase the top end figures that are achievable on the standard blower this time (promise  :laugh:)..
Worst comes to worst, I may dabble in some DP's  :wink:, but won't be going bonkers with the limits, that's for sure..
