Indeed, prior it was 23i which I gather is a worse 30i.

Sounds good. I'm allowing a Z4 because my wife is a hair dresser, are you a hair dresser?
28i does seem a good balance, but so many poverty spec, literally 1 or 2 for sale with iDrive at a reasonable price.
No, I'm bald
. They're great cars, don't care if they have a feminine image to some. Loved my E86 and love the E89 35iS, it will embarrass most cars on the road and the roof comes off

I would push for a 35si, and still might, but I'm not sure my wife will appreciate the power. She wasn't impressed when I nailed it in my Volvo S60 running 320bhp.

Has anyone using RTTI noticed any significant improvement (if indeed the TomTom traffic data change has kicked in yet)?
I tried the TomTom app on my phone to see what the quality of their traffic info is like and it's ok - not as good as google maps but passable. I'd really like to use my built in nav rather than having my phone stuck on the dash but traffic info is critical for me.
Does anyone know anything about recoding parts to match a cars VIN?
My brother's E87 1 Series has had a new Steering Angle Sensor at some point, we tried to recalibrate it last night as it is 30 degrees out of position, but it won't allow us to do so because the replacement part is not VIN-matched to the car.

Yeah, you need E-SYS or NCS Expert depending on the year of the car. Basically, read the ECU and write the VIN back to the module. Then write a blank file to the module (which will code it based on default parameters) and then you can add in any of the specific parameters.
I thought that these had gone out of production due to the tax changes making them so much less attractive?
Interesting - most of the team I work with are are looking to do the same due to the tax benefits.
What's the change?

Doesnt seem too bad actually, there was another x30e thread in which we worked out that there were large tax rises coming for them. Perhaps we were discussing an old model at the time or something.
