Took you long enough Kurt!

 

Heh- better late than never eh? Thanks again for recommending the site.

So.. did you get your MV? What are you driving now? Looks like your pcar went to good hands.

 

Leased a 335 Convertible in the end - more practical and much easier for daily driving. The auto has been great as my knee's hasn't been hurting, the commute to my girls house used to literally be a pain. Now i just sit there and try to relax without having to concentrate as much.

We'll see if i can last more than a year with it...

 

Nice - Still a very fun car. And you even went topless
Pick up a Vishnu piggyback ECU controller, intake and exhaust- Maybe suspension.
Follow-Up Test: Vishnu Tuning BMW 335i Coupe

Almost 400lbs of TQ at the wheels should hold you over for a bit! -I see an '09S with PDK in your future...

 

Welcome. Great looking cab.

 

I had considered dropping a chip and ecu crap in it but the backlash from all dealers has been awful - they are banning warranties, spending more time when a car is in for service to search for chips / ecu flashes and to be honest, most of these tuning companies haven't perfected the ecu software with many cars going into 'limp mode' requiring a dealer visit.

I'm not going to mod the car aside from a tint (if i even bother), blacked out side-markers and grill as it's not worth it to me.

 

Welcome, good to see you here.

 

Welcome to the forum, you've got great taste in cars. Love the 997 with the 911 emblem.

 

Yep yep, I hear ya. From what I hear, some of the "tuning companies" aren't even doing tuning- just using other tuner's files and reselling!! -with varied results and in some cases very poor results. Scary.

The Vishnu seems to be very popular on BMW since it is "plug n play", an external box that plugs inline to the ECU. If you go to dealer, just unplug it. No mods to your factory programming required, and you get 75hp / 100+ TQ. Nice! I'd be all over that- too bad they do not make anything for pcars...

 

Thanks for all of the comments guys!
