Touche

With the N55, that will be a lot of work.

Thanks, interested into who is doing the work. I am thinking of getting mine chipped and DMS for example are suggesting 100 more BHP, which should be enough given it is already fairly lively. But also it would be easier to get it does by Celtic Tuning location wise, but there is the usual internet noise around quality etc.

DMS don't get the best reviews on the forums either, apparently they inflate the dyno figures... Apparently MoreBHP and Performance Centre Sunderland are the best for custom maps. Obviously MHD/BM3 are good in their own right.

I've watched a few videos from darkside developments. They seem reasonably well informed but focus on diesel only.

In terms of what I've bought;

Wagner Intercooler
Wagner Catless Downpipe
Pure Turbos Stage 2 Turbo
Eisenmann resonated centre pipe
Eisenmann Race backbox 90mm tips
FTP boost pipe
FTP charge pipe
FTP intake
FTP air pipes
FTP intake scoops
BMC Air Filter

My brother will be doing the work as he's a BMW technician. No decision yet on the wheels but the gloss black M Performance parts have arrived and I dropped it off earlier for it's paintwork to be sorted.

Then a remap (to be decided) and I'll get rid of the JB4 that's already on it.

I wager the very first thing you'll be doing will be removing the inevitable yellow Arnold Clark sticker from the back window. Nice looking car thumbup

that really irritates me... When we picked up the i3 i asked what extra discount we would be getting to carry the Sytner logo round in the back window. Salesman looked at me with that 'not sure if he's being serious' look and laughed nervously.

I clarified and asked for the sticker to be removed smile

I summer jobbed (remember those?) at a Fiat garage in the late 1980's, and remember applying the dealer sticker to every new car's rear window. They went on the inside, and were super sticky. We sent cars out, and they came back a few weeks later for the inevitable rattles to be fixed - and usually the dealer sticker was gone. On principle we just put a new one on there every time. Must have been very annoying to customers, but it was hilarious to us!

Yeah bright bloody yellow (Arnold Clark) against a black car, it definitely stands out. It’s on the rear of the screen so will be being extra careful getting it off. TBF if it was a silver or white dealer BMW sticker it wouldn’t be so bad.....🤔🤩🤫
