Oh, makes sense. Even though the diesel can be tuned, I'm not a fan.
I'm hoping these will hold their money OK
Well I went for it and bought it. Loving it so far
Paint looks in good nic. Also got M3 wing mirrors from the look of it.
Just do yourself a favour and check the injectors aren't leaking... I bought one and the day after buying it a rod spun because of leaking injectors!Well I went for it and bought it. Loving it so far
I've never heard of a rod bearing spinning because of a leaking injector. The only way I could see this happening is if the fuel diluted the oil so much that the oil didn't do it's job. But even then, if it's leaking that badly it's going to hydrolock the engine way before it dilutes the oil so it's exceptionally unlikely.
It's much more likely someone has mistreated the car/overrevved/modified it and raise the rev limiter/used the wrong oil the engine has started knocking so they've got rid asap.
That's what happened with mine, there was no knocking when I bought it at all and it lasted 500 miles, I was driving it when the bearing spun, you could very clearly hear happen it before the knocking started. I had BMW tear down the engine to inspect it and this was their diagnosis. 5 injectors were found to be leaking after testing and they noted that the oil reeked of fuel and was very thin due to the heavy dilution. Interestingly it was serviced by BMW a week before it happened so the oil in there was pretty fresh when I bought it, unclear why they didn't notice that the oil stank of fuel then.

Any reason why you don't fancy mhd? The monitoring features are worth it alone
I can't see what else it would show be over the JB4.
JB4 gives me live monitoring, converts the fuel gauge to a boost gauge, on the fly map change is possible, shift light, NLS, rolling launch control etc etc
It's running the MHD stage 2+ back end flash, so I will eventually buy the adapter and license, but at around £160 for them, it's not high up on the list.

Does it give you fuel rail pressure, ability to log to file, clear codes etc.
Also interesting that your car is running the Stage 2+ map, I am assuming it has DP's and an intercooler installed then? Should put it around circa 420bhp.
Have you logged a WOT run in 3rd or 4th to see how the car is running, wonder how the timings are looking. Are you aware if it is the V7 maps, or later? Also what octane map did they install? I am assuming your running 99 ron?
