The New Ride... (Update)

[Hurdy]

Love the white with the black wheels

I agree with Mat on this too. The car mechanically is great, I just don't like the "saggy" look from the side. 

At least YOU don't have to look at it whilst driving

I so want one of these, looks great Ben, some have black mirrors is that not part of the performance pack?

Having spent the last hour reading your "build" thread from your previous ed30(all50 pages) and being new to the forum the BM proably has an evolution to come, but being a fan of vw's  I'm not so much a an of the new motor - I'm sure in time it will be epic but not for me sorry  

50 page build thread?!?! Think you maybe confusing me with someone else mate  Jonny C maybe?

It's not so much a pack mate, but more individual items. The CF mirrors are like £350 each IIRC  so not getting them in a hurry..  They are mint though and I would love all the BMWP parts, but Iaint rich enough

Great looking car mate, this is the single turbo version right?

[Rob GTI]

That looks [DannyDyer] nawwwtyyyyy [/DannyerDyer] Ben! I know for a fact these sound gorgeous standard, aside exhausts and intake mods.

I think most people have a thing for the straight six 1 series coupes.
Thought about the LED angel eyes (the white look ones)?   The black nasal grilles look smart  

Cheers guys  

I have some Angel eye upgrades in the garage, but they didn't look much different tbh, so they are going back. But I will look at other sets at some point..
Forgot about the noise, and what a noise it is too.. The six pot sound is mint and for a standard exhaust and I can't believe how loud it is..  
They sound fruity on a cold start too..

I know a VWR exhaust on an Ed30 sounds good but that is somthing else...... :

Love mine as well, dont forget to add a quaife diff to the shopping list!

Looks good mate, I am more looking forward to what times you are able to achieve with this one though.

IF (read WHEN) you map it, who'll be doing it?  I have seen adverts from DMS with healthy gains.

Mine is having its ECU fettled today

Speaking of which, you getting on ok with it Rob?

Lush, black ones are faster though, apparently......

Only because they have tinted windows and shooters in the boot and nobody dare race them..

Yak yak!

I was lapping a DCT M3 yesterday, I actually think it works really well and has some advantages over DSG. No auto upchange and the throttle blip coming down is wood inducing. Very impressed with it.
