I think it's ste.
Why ruin an almost perfect looking car?
Too many wet-dreams over the Halfords / Ripspeed catalogues if you ask me.....
Ruined is a bit fierce, it's barely any different aside from the wheels Why ruin an almost perfect looking car?
Too many wet-dreams over the Halfords / Ripspeed catalogues if you ask me.....
Can you show me where in the ripspeed catalogue these items for the 1M Coupé are located?

Like the colour, hate the wheels!
+1Wheels can maketh or breaketh a car. The original wide Y-spokes look the part, are the part, on the M1.
Did they get the idea from the best alloys on the MINI, the Challenge Y spokes on the John Cooper Works ?

Why do aftermarket tuners always ruin stuff with chavvy wheels?

Any vestige of aesthetic merit the vehicle once had (precious little, being a 1 series) is, indeed ruined: destroyed by those wheels.ru·in/ˈro͞oin/

85bhp from a remap and exhaust!?!
Jeez.
+85 over the official figures - I'm sure in reality they all left the factory with at least 20 more than that.Jeez.
So say +65bhp, which is <20% gain
Ive always said, the upside of manufacturers opting for turbo charging smaller engines is they are easier to tune.
With a V8, short of spending a small fortune on super/turbo charging, which barely seems worth it, after adding a highflow exhaust/intake, and remap, which has mininal gains, you have to start changing cams and all sorts. Very expensive and doesn't help when you come to sell it.
Quick remap and exhaust can be reversed pretty easily.
