That’s about the same as mine, pretty strong for a 2.0
It’s all that torque that makes them pull so strong

Indeed! Not too bothered about the peak figures, just relieved to see a smooth curve and the thumbs up from the guys at SRR! I wasn’t a fan of these plug and play Tuning boxes but this one seems to be safe!

Looking forward to the week ahead, splitter and rear valance going gloss black and the new steering wheel will be fitted on Wednesday!

Love that wheel, looks like it's meant to be there which all good mods should do. Loving the black centre console and dash, looks much better than the silver I have in mine, not an easy switch I would imagine. Making me want the exhaust tips too, stop spending my money

Thank you!

The trim is actually the Anthracite Wood

it looks very dark (almost black) in certain lights! I’ve been considering having the trims wrapped or sprayed. Still haven’t decided!

Hi, the anthracite wood was such an expensive option it seems a shame to spray it?
Wonder if it would pay to get a used aluminium trim set & sell the wood on (or keep to return to original?)

Oh really? I didn’t realise. I’ve tried to keep an eye out for a set of trims as I’d always prefer to do that and then I could reverse if I wasn’t 100% sure but the last set on eBay I saw the chap wanted about £250 for the set of aluminium trims!!

Had the day off, I was meant to be having the splitter and rear valance wrapped in Gloss Black but they cancelled

So quick clean and a decent drive with a few pics!

I think the Anthracite looks brilliant with cream and against the white. Leave it alone!!!!!

So now I’m nearly done

Does anyone with an 18i/20i fancy the 330mm brakes off my 28i!? New discs and pads from BMW 3 months ago

Nice

How much if you don't. Mind telling?

Too cheap imo! £480 posted. Including new pads and basically new discs! They seem to sell for £400 just for the calipers.

That steering wheel makes you want to drive the car even more, I'll bet.
The pedals look a bit slippery, though. Are they?
