Another update then.

After nearly 3 months and 2300 miles, I had to fill the washer bottle.

As you were.

The fuel tank must be MASSIVE then! :laugh:

Some legit. Some such as the race with the 1M exposed as faked for TV/YouTube.

It's pretty much accepted it sits about 340hp stock. Tuners are getting anything from 370-390, but via sophisticated piggybacks such as Hartge's, rather than ECU flashing.

BMWs own brand, which doesn't quite smell as nice as VAG - which it got topped up with.  :signLOL:

have you read the evo article this month where the Megane just pips it as the better drivers car but the BMW is the more accomplished all rounder really? They seem to suggest they prefer the manual over the auto?

The Megane is awesome, so it's not surprising something built with a Cup chassis and a proper diff is favoured as a driver's car.

The 'box is great, I thing the PR drive to shift the auto meant all the press cars only had that. The manual is a joy to use.

Your going to need to delete the " considerably more turbos than you " bit now. :smiley:

Ive still not seen a single 1 series with the sport kit yet, I'm quite surprized as it was quite popular on the old 1er

Has BMW released any of there performance range parts for the new 1 series yet ?

We have now released our new stg1 for the M135i, gains of 53bhp and 70ftlb and can be switched between stock and tuned  and installed as a DIY with no ECU removal  :smiley: (a bit like a Revo switch but actually rewrites the car to complete stock file)

Ahh Gobble, you're right. I'll amend the turbo count. M kit hasn't been out long, I've only seen 1 other M135i too.

Nice work PDT, piggy back style?

Sounds familiar  :wink:  Nice work Dave  :party:

I'm over your way next week, so may pop in for a natter. I've added a new little mod to mine and wouldn't mind a re-run on your rollers seeing as you have done it both stock and mapped..

Can you fit me in at a decent price?  :wink: :laugh:

Definitely has some design cues to the MCoupe; albeit toned down.

Yes, just call in advance to book as things are hectic here. We are now in a much bigger premises in Sunderland.

Tony, no piggybacks, a genuine ECU flash.
