My daily commute is 22mpg in my BRABUS forfour
BMW M3 driver followed me to shops and was asking me all about mine today (firstly asking what it was - always makes me smile) as he followed me on a little bit of a blast today

That was in rush hour traffic, so was pretty much forced to drive like saint, my long term average is stuck on 36.6mpg which i'm happy with.My daily commute is 22mpg in my BRABUS forfour

I do have a lot of people asking about it and what it is etc. had a play with a 2004 boxster s and there was nothing in it.
Exhaust mods begin!
I knew the exhaust manifold was probably cracked, the blowing noise was getting worse, luckily all my new parts finally arrived and i was able to get it booked in. Was shocked at the state of the old manifold!
New Manifold / Turbo outlet pipe / de-cat pipe (also had custom de-cat back exhaust fitted but no pics yet)
Next up, Re-map

Got my Brab mapped by Tony at tune 4 performance today. It feels much much faster than before, really pulls hard from 3k rpm. Here is the before and after.
Before 194 bhp 216.4 ft-lb
After 205 bhp 247.6 ft-lb

Great little cars, i've got a low mileage one, although it is standard.
Get the Powertec filter fitted, for sound alone it's great.
However i've aquired another car so will have to pop mine up for sale soon.
Insurance is also filthy cheap for some odd reason considering the performance.
BTW, silver is the faster colour.
