Remaps, Plug-ins and other modifications...
I've had a software tune on mine (in belgium around 600Euro) done by a reputable company.
My car has been running at about 430Horsepower and 666 Torque (668 or something but 6 is easier to remember)

I like the sound of the Bhp figure, but the torque figure at 666 sounds a bit ominous to me! Haha
As for the map though, how long have you had it, have you noticed any issues with the car, has it changed mpg much and any issues with BMW warranty or dealership issues at all? Cheers (and sorry for all questions!).

I did it when I had the car for about 6months i think at around 10K KM.
Its difficult to say if the impact on fuel economy is big, corona happened and all my drives now are for fun instead of for work, so the foot is a little heavier on the gas pedal these days, also changed to wider tires so its hard to compare.
Its optimized for e5 fuel now, so in theory it should run more economical when driving normally.
I've had the car a few times at BMW, for things like front bumper replacement, maintenance, tire changes, satnav software updates. So far they haven't said anything about my tune or warranty ( I remove the tune before I go, and get it put back afterwards 60 euro each time, but worth it in my opinion)
To be honest I don't care much about the warranty if the engine breaks down the only thing that wont be under warranty is the engine. And waiting until the warranty expires, is still the same story, if the engine dies, you still have to pay for it. It would definitely suck if that happened, but that's why you look for some reputable companies that know what they are doing, so chances of that happening are a little smaller

Thank you, it looks totally different now, last year someone hit my front bumper, and since repairs took so long I decided to rewrap the entire car

Thanks, it was stressful to decide on something like this without seeing it on a 3d model.Yorkshire_Z4M40i wrote: βSat Jul 31, 2021 4:26 pm I cant lie mate, I saw your IG tag in your signature so gave you a follow...

But I'm very happy with the result. The width of the hood causes problems for some wrapping foils since the rolls they come on are only 1m50 and the hood of the car is a lot wider than that, and not all foils stretch as good, and then you would have a cutting mark in the middle of the car, so I decided to try and play with it a little, instead of doing a simple racing stripe or picking a color that would stretch better without marks

Aw yeah I can imagine the bonnet/hood size could cause problems. Although having said that, I didn't have any problems with my recent PPF wrap.raven wrote: βSun Aug 01, 2021 11:52 amThanks, it was stressful to decide on something like this without seeing it on a 3d model.Yorkshire_Z4M40i wrote: βSat Jul 31, 2021 4:26 pm I cant lie mate, I saw your IG tag in your signature so gave you a follow...

But yeah the wrap you chose looks mega... I'm guessing you get lots of admiration and comments on it, while out and about?

Yes the Z4 on its own also attracts a lot of attention. I like that too when you get someone that comes up to you just to talk about cars, always funYorkshire_Z4M40i wrote: βSun Aug 01, 2021 1:18 pm Aww ok that explains it then Haha nice...
