I really wish BMW would calm down with the grills... Looks good aside from that

95% of our business evaporated overnight, leaving it more or less dead in the water.
handed whats little left over to the missus to run on a much reduced scale and i've taken a role with a large courier firm
Meant the DME map. Id never run a generic map on a DCT car, they dont increase the clutch pressures, a custom map is a lot better, safer and usually more power.

Likely the battery will need a charge, my wife’s Mini flashed up a low battery warning as it has done under 10 miles in a couple of months and sat for 6-7 weeks.
Dealers have similar issues not unusual to get in a show room car and see the low battery warning.
Carbon adds like 10hp per mod, surely?
Pure turbos, VRSF downpipes and charge pipes are all on order. Should be good for 700ish
apologies again for the misunderstanding x
have just seen pure are doing 15% off all Turbo upgrades if not too late to try and wangle that ?
Cheers matey
Bloody typical
I shall message CA and see if I can have a refund or additional equipment/toys to the same value, shan't set my hopes too high though. Although the shipping date is in May so maybe I'll get luckyAh that's no good. Will be near impossible to charge the battery due to where I park.
My cars not been used for the last few weeks except to move it back and forth when it's bin day
Wonder if I'd get in trouble if I took it for a spin?Not when you could easily get a Gallardo for the same money.
Quite. It wasn’t really a what else could you get type of post. Just a rare car for a collector.

That's pretty much always the minimum discount you can get?
Even on a new model?
Yup
Not a fan of black grilles, keep it chrome although on modern BMWs the grilles may as well be the entire front end they're that big so makes little difference I guess. In the olden days black grille slats meant it was a 4cyl engine whilst chrome reserved for the 6. Those were nice little touches. Now even a x20d has exhausts on each side and everything else with only the engine noise and boot badge (unless deleted) to tell you what it is. Not even the brakes will give it away since you can get the M Performance big brake option on even the lowest models as I saw not long ago on 2 cars around town lol.
Personally not a fan of carbon front end bits either as I have a carbon fibre air scoop for my intake at the moment. It's a small item that just sits in the brake duct but the amount of stone chips it picks up and gets its lacquer damaged by is just insane so can only imagine the state of everything else that is CF on the front end on a car that gets regularly on the motorways and fast winding roads. I did consider replacing it but at £200+ for a new one from Evolve.... I'll stick to the battle scarred one lol.
