Hi again, Before you say it, yes I have joined a BWM forum again, but I don't feel as comfortable there as I do here! Sorry 😁.
This is probably a question aimed at Flea really but all input greatly received.
Are there any real gains in going for a remap on this n/a engine on a completely standard car?
Cheers Frog

Their website say they have moved and the website is down at the moment. I have read a few reviews on the Bmw forums to mixed reviews.
I think I will just enjoy as it is for now and probably go for the 335i in 6 months to a year. Seems to be quite tuneable.
Also I had a look at the 335d online. It's very very fast 😎. I didn't realise that diesels have come so far! Amazing!

Thanks Flea 😎 Mines the 258 but guess it's the same principle? I'll wait until the next one,prob a 335i, and then bring it up to you to work your magic 😁

Hi all, Sorry I've not been updating on my car. I've been busy settling back in the UK.
The Beemer has been good ,apart from a water pump, £938 at a stealer.
Decided not to get a remap or any other mods as I'm going to upgrade to a 335i and then tune that.😎
The best thing I did on this car was to ditch the runflats. Absolutely appalling tyres. How where they ever allowed to put these on a car like this?
I now have Michelin pilot sport 4s tyres.
I can honestly say they are the best tyre I have ever bought!
Transformed the car!
Any how hope you guys are being careful on the slippery roads.
Cheers Frog

Hi all Well I got bored with the 330i and lack of tuning options. Just put a deposit on a low mileage 335i coupe. Pick it up at ythe weekend Will be wanting to tune it fairly soon so watch this space

Hi Flea
My car is not that new. Its an 2007 335i.
Can you work your magic on it? I will probably get an uprated intercooler first. I have been reading up on replacing the downpipes but there are mixed reviews as to the benifits. Also I want the car ro remain legal and pass mot's. Any recommendations appreciated.

Hi all 😎 Well all I can say is wow!🤩
Picked the car up yesterday with a steady drive back to guildford (60 miles) steady 60-90 going with the flow. Avaraged 39mpg!😱.
Today have been getting a "feel" for the car. Its absolutely brutal! Im wondering if its already mapped???
Surely there cant be that much difference between my 330i and this?
It absolutely flies. Strange as it was owned by someone who never did more than 5k a year in it so I assumed a second car prehaps (without being sexist)for the wife.
Handling is superb for me.
Any how booked in for a bodywork detail and to get rid of those runflats again.
I think I'm goong to enjoy this car😎

Yes mate. Took ages to find a good one with my budget. Looked at a few "fantastic condition" ones that turned out to be pigs.
Tried the convertible but found it claustrophobic.
So many spec levels so hard to find one that ticks all your boxes. I compromised a bit for good history and low milage.
Awsome car. Just pulls so hard.

Well after seeing the "flappy paddle" shifter as a gimmick, Im kinda loving it now:) It is not best for everyday driving but when "playing" it becomes very useful. Better than waiting for the auto to kick down. Also much better on the twisties much more control handed back to the driver. Cant wait for the remapp One anoying thing though! I cant stop saying thank you when it passes me the seatbelt!

Im expecting 360-370bhp and torque 370ish. Everything stock at the moment but intercooler and downpipes next.
Evolves map for me is not about peak figures but a good broad power band.
Have a look on their website for stage 1 mapping. I was quite impressed thats why I chose them.
Some serious bmws here.
