Thank you for the warm welcomes
I’ll chronicle the journey with the cars in the relevant sections.

Looks like until you have done a number of posts you can’t reply to other people’s comments..I’m not being rude ignoring people’s questions/ comments.

AlienZed,
You would be deeply disappointed if there wasn’t a modification / update / upgrade plan.
So since I bought the 35is a few weeks ago, due in part to my local garage man having a meltdown when faced with the scale of modifications and changes progress has been limited.
Sequentially
Swapped 18” 325m wheels with stock Potenza run flats to 18” Zito 935 with Goodyear Assy 5….235/40 18 and 265/35 18
Silverstar recommended very bright LEDs for the angel eyes
Genuine gloss black MSport front grills
Eton mid range speakers for front, rear, centre, middle speakers.
Fresh air filter
Walnut de-coke
1 stage colder plugs
Baseline dyno run
MHS stage 1+ ECU flash and re-run dyno
Awaiting the end of the runs season then…large number of boxes in my office now..
Ohlins Road and Track coil overs
Quaife LSD
M3 steering arms and bushes
Top link bush upgrade
Set of new index 12 injectors
VSRF cat-less down pipes
Wagner FMIC transfer from 20i to 35is
MHD stage 2+ plus revised dyno run
Colour matched rear spoiler
Re-sort out colour sequence on rear valance / diffuser
Transfer sub woofers from 20i to 35is
Audiotec Fischer Match 10 DSP / amp plus MOST adapter
That’s the short term plan

Welcome
The modification plan you have for your 35is looks substantial but mostly well trodden
Good luck on the journey
Do you have any dyno charts?
I gather from other posts you have been on this forum before?

Welcome back Mr Bond, its been dreadfully dull around here.
Hoping for more high energy maneuvers from your keyboard.

Hello The Analyst
Here is the dyno run after walnut blast, new air filter, one stage colder plugs, one new coil (broke down on the way to the dyno), 5 index 9 injectors and 1 index 12!
Then MHD stage 1+ flash
I'm not looking at being ground breaking on this journey, did enough of that on the last one!
My previous work was under the pbondar nom de plume.

I was pleasantly surprised at the stock number given its 50k miles and some old coils and mixed batch of injectors which you are not supposed to have.
The tuning guys kept pointing out that the if I had bought a 35i I would have seen the same absolute number for the re-map, bit late in the day.
The MHD flash seems to tweak some other parameters as the drive back felt more preppy than you would expect for the changes, especially on the better end.
Although absolute numbers suggest it should be quicker my old re-mapped 20i felt a lot better on the 50 mph ish then overtake manoeuvres.
Maybe that turbo is spooling up faster than these turbos plus the 20i still has the sports cat so less back pressure affecting spool up time?

I assume you are referring to Z4Mad?
My English Language O level was grade 3…so whilst I could follow his verbose dribblings I couldn’t possible be bothered with constructing such complex sentences.
Strange and initially interesting posts..I see the pack turned on him..belatedly
The sunlight was nice here this afternoon..here are a few more shots..
