As been said Bri ,the 2ltrs are 4 pot ,
I tried the 150 And the 180 bhp versions found them flat .however the 180 bhp can soon be chipped up to give a bit more go, the one badged up 2.8i i think would suit you better ,got bigger brakes too.
My 2 vert is a 4 pot with about 250 bhp and is quicker than mi 3 ltr z .
Go av a drive in one thats tha best way.

The 18 & 20i models can be remapped for more go than the 28i, they all have the same engine

Thanks for all the advice guys, I know that forum member Twin Turbo also had a 2Ltr 4 Pot and he had his either chipped or mapped and it gave him a lot more power, if he reads this maybe he will let me know just how much gain can be achieved? I don't believe that the naturally aspirated 6 pot responds much to mapping?
One thing I missed off the advert it doesn't state that it has heated seats, are they standard on the 2015 2Ltr M Sport?

Don't know if they come as standard but up here in the North East at the moment they are a must.

Hi Rob.
What is the opinions out there about which is best to go for, either the JB4 or an ECU Remap? I'v read some good reports about the JB4 but that means your carrying a piggy back system whereas the remap is unseen!

JB4 is a trash piggyback unit. Go with an ECU tune.

I’m not an expert but I’ve read a remap changes more parameters than a piggyback system which alters data from some of the sensors to increase the power

Brian,
I've currently got a 2012, 2.0 Msport if you want to drive one. It goes well and I've been pleasantly surprised as its the smallest engine I've had so far in all 9 zeds
I might even sell you it come March !

Thanks buddy but I'm off to London tomorrow (Thur) by rail to view one i'v had my eye on, and if all looks as good as the Advert it will be coming back down the M4 with me.

I hope you have a successful trip then!

Thanks, I did have a successful trip and brought it home. Got some bits and bobs to do now though to spruce it up a bit.

Bloody nightmare though getting out of London late afternoon!
