And so it begins! Toyed with the idea of quite a few different cars including; r32s, m3s, s3s before settling on an ed 30 in tornado red last weekend. I absolutely love it! Great pace, comfort and solid build quality. In fact I'm surprised just how much I do love it! I've had it remapped by pendle performance with both engine management and dsg revised. Supposed to be running around 280bhp+ which I am more than happy with, there is great balance in power and control with respect to handling and the lack of any torque steer. A close friend is an agent of pendle and offered a good price! I have to say it feels every bit as quick as my old s4 v8 with great balance and handling, more so than the 330i e46 I have just sold. If I can work out how to post pictures I will! Hello again!
