I've not posted for a while so thought I'd put some pics up now I've made a few changes - wheels, grilles, splitters and a remap

[tommy vercetti]

Looks mint, alloys are nice too and the black grill looks good too. How much bhp with the remap?

[Rosscow]

Love the wheels, not keen on the black grille or carbon fibre splitters though, sorry.

[rossi1]

Looking spot on and the CF Splitters set it off nicely

[lewisf182]

wheels look lovely, what are they? Also how much bhp from remap? Really would love an e90 at some point!

[Max M4X WW]

I like it, those wheels actually look good unlike most replica's (presume they are)

I'm not 100% on the front though, there are two many colours - paint work, grilles, lower grilles, splitters, headlight internals etc.

The quoted figures from Superchips (Bluefin) are 255bhp and 538Nm. I don't know if it's making that but it certainly feels a lot better than before.

Thanks. Wheels are 1M/M3 GTS replicas known as CS Performance wheels. I wanted to keep the OEM look and these did the trick for me.

[Dave_ITR]

I really like that.

[Bungleaio]

I'm loving the look of that, so nice to see you haven't gone for black wheels!

[jamiebae]

Looks very nice, I've just got a 10plate 325d SE Touring, fab engine but SE spec is miserable on these - flat cloth seats, bus steering wheel, no Bluetooth etc. The remap sounds like a good idea, must be really impressive with that kind of power.

[rh123]

That looks very nice.
Good choice of mods.

[danyeates]

These look so cool. This and the blue one posted a few days ago, I love them!

[dave1275]

Cheers all

Thanks. The standard 325 spec is not good on the Msport either but whoever ordered this one ticked heated leather, BT and the iPod interface/USB which works really well. With your car being a 10 plate it might have the 204bhp N57 engine (E9x 330d engine), if it has then get it mapped, 270bhp+ quite easily. Mines the older 330d engine (M57) so it doesn't have as much potential.

[jamiebae]

Yeah, mine is the 204bhp one but it's only a temporary car until the X1 I've just ordered arrives so no point playing about with it, tempting though it is!

I hope you don't miss that 6 pot too much when it's gone!

that looks really nice, good work!

I probably will, but the replacement has much lower company car tax, and a lot more toys and nice bits too (leather, 18s, Bluetooth, USB audio, shiny bits etc) which will hopefully make up for the 2 cylinder defecit!
