Obviously remaps often come with torque as well as bhp changes but for me on the road it is about torque - where I want the power most is get up and go ability giving me flexibility and options for dealing with other people's driving :s

Just ordered some diff oil from World of Lubricants. It was already cheap and then I found a 12% off code to make it even cheaper. I'll attempt to change the diff oil myself when it arrives next week.
I'm about to do 2000 miles in the car and the rear brake pads are looking very low, so I'm tempted to change them before we leave. The wear indicator hasn't lit up yet so I'm still in 2 minds.
I'm also going to check the rear wheel bearings as it seems a little noisy when rolling. Easy enough to change out.

I'd love to have my 330e remapped but I don't want any issues with insurance
Should have bought a faster one!

Thats why you tell them? Radical thought I know.
Might have to do a modified policy but you can easily get insured.

Hah well I'm annoyed enough by the cost of the insurance, never mind adding more to it!
Cos insurance algos are just plain random.

I don’t no, I’ve owned a W213 E63S for 4 years and now own an F90 M5 Comp. Both cars are over 600bhp stock, I just love how the acceleration is just relentless plus I wanted a v8 before they are a long and distant memory. I have considered remapping it but don’t want to lose my warranty.

After I have had my wing mirror hit twice and bent the wrong way twice I had a crack on the mount of my old ones so I decided to look into power folding mirrors for my 440i. The 4 series ones were expensive and I managed to get some M4 ones for around the same price, with the genuine BMW carbon fibre caps which are like £600!, fitted them yesterday and very happy with the result.
Also fitted some magnetic paddle shifters, they feel awesome.
Before (with the ebay M4 style caps):

Love the indicators.

Topped up the oil. Cleaned the inside of the windscreen.

Gave them both a quick "refresher" clean (as they were only done properly last weekend. Then touched up a few stone chips on both.
Also had a go at repairing the couple of chips in the Countryman's windscreen that were there when I bought it.
Still noticeable but don't look any worse and at least they feel smooth and sealed from the outside. Not sure why the previous owner didn't get them done straight away

How did the windscreen cleaning go?

Very well, I just put a couple of inches of warm water into a bucket along with a few drops of washing up liquid. Damped one of these in the water, wiped it over the inside of the windscreen and then used another one of them to dry it off. Repeated twice, just go be sure and all the smearing has gone. I didn't bother with the passenger side, it was only the driver side that was smeared and that's the side I look out of

Brilliant.
It’s easy to get stuck into using fancy products, but sometimes you can get perfect results with items you have in the house. Wouldn’t use fairy liquid for anything else though
Don’t get me wrong, my garage is FULL of detailing products but that’s because it’s a hobby.
