Fury RS said:

I owned an E92 335i with a small remap circa 360bhp prior to my M3, it was a very quick capable car but lacked a LSD and didn't grip like the 'M' but a lot of car for the money. I'm getting on now so insurance is not so bad for me, I think I last paid around £260 full comp with limited mileage of 6k on the 335i and the remap declared.

My mate has recently bought a Mk7 Golf 'R' with DSG and he has come from several STI Impreza's and a couple of Focus St's, all manual and he says he's loving the DSG. I'm yet to drive his car yet (wrecked my Knee) but will do hopefully soon. Think i'm getting to the age where an "Auto Box" is due with a REVO map.
Enjoy it matey...

I'm only 24 but insurance nearly 1.5K on a E90 m3 or 1.2K on E92 or E90 335i, the ED35 is around £500 with the missus as a named driver.

Never had a M Car so maybe I wouldn't miss it, still 3L twin turbo I'm sure could always do with a LSD!

How dare you say there is a age for a auto box, I've had 3 and I'm only 24

Thanks pal, test your mates Car and I guarantee you will be hooked!

Thats right!

Same engine in the MK6 Golf R,Scirocco R, and the Audi S3 8P

Edition 30 @ 230PS
Edition 35 @ 235PS
Scirocco R @ 265PS Pre-FL or 280PS FL
Golf R @ 271PS
S3 @ 265PS

Revo claims they can remap a ED35 to at least 300bhp with a Stage 1 map.

Edited for you haha

Everyone on the owners forums for these cars suggest Rtech for a customer rolling road map, if mine wasn't a lease car it'd be going to them straight away.

Correct. Forget Revo though, and go to APR IMO.

I had my Mk6 Golf R APR'd. Had the necessary fuel pump upgrade, and VWR air intake, and found a mixture of Scorpion cat-back and APR downpipes second hand on Gumtree/eBay. Cost all in was about 2k. Gave it 371bhp at SurreyRR, and did 0-60 in 3.9 and 0-100 in 9.2s!

I really like the fact the "Edition" cars come with the K04 and are therefore seriously under-rated in terms of power. Feels like a cool little Easter Egg.

Really like this, although personally I'd have one in red.

Sounds amazing! The closest APR dealer is 80 miles away and has terrible reviews, so not so sure if I'm honest.

Also not sure if I would want 370BHP on a FWD car, seems you turned your car into quite a beast!

Really lovely car, I do like the MK6 and especially in ED35 guise!!!! PH ran one on thei fleet for a while and seems they didn't want to give it back!!!!

Interesting it has a belt rather than a chain - what's the interval for the belt change on these then? Seems some serious BHP is just a map away........

Keep this thread updated and enjoy!!

Yeah, I do feel a bit sneaky driving it around sometimes lol.



They do look excellent in red!

I read the PH fleet article the same day I looked at it as I was googling edition 35 like mad! The only thing they moaned about at PH towers was the MPG, who buys a hot hatch and then complains about MPG?

The internet suggests massive difference on belt interval, so I asked the local VW dealer and they said 5 years or 70K so it would've been due this October, but for piece of mind (I've had a cambelt snap before ) I got it done March this year, so next change will be 100K or in 5 years time, I have a van as a daily so 5 years will probably come first

Little update, oil and filter nearly due so carried out today and service interval reset.

Also discovered whilst under the car that front tyre was damaged so replaced both front tyres with Goodyear f1 Eagles.

Plus tracking while there.

Didn't intend to come out of the day £400, the joys of cars.


Gunna take it out for a spin later after letting off some fireworks
