Hello all
New to the forum and i would like to ask for a little help and info if i may. I have very recently treated myself to a 56 plate black 9-3 aero which came from the factory with a Hirsch performance power upgrade and has also been lowered but not having the Hirsch certificate the seller was unsure as to what the upgraded bhp figures were. I contacted Hirsch by email to clarify this and also if they were able to tell me what other Hirsch upgrades were fitted at the same time, a day later it was confirmed BY Hirsch that the car has been tuned to 240BHP but they had no other information regarding any other upgrades.
So my first question is , could the car have been lowered at the factory by Hirsch and it doesn,t show on their records, or, is it more likely to have been done aftermarket?
What is also very confusing is the fact that although the car was registered on 25-09-2006 and is a 56 plate the 10th character on the vin number is a 7 which, to my mind, means it,s actually a 2007 model, any ideas?.

Any help or info is very much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Steve
