I’ve noticed that UK M40i’s get the tricolor side emblem near the vent and tricolor markings on the seatbelt. US gets 42 more hp, because of looser smog restrictions… any other differences you have picked up on?

I believe it all comes down to the quality of the nut that holds the wheel.

US cars have front side markers which most people want to remove. UK don't have them.

It would, and completely invalidate the warranty , these would be expensive if anything goes pop so not worth the risk imo

How long is the warranty and you can get tunes which don't permanently change the car these days you just plug a device in and flick a switch from normal to tune, etc.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 5:54 pmIt would, and completely invalidate the warranty , these would be expensive if anything goes pop so not worth the risk imo

Warranty is 3 years…
BMW software tools can spot both plug-in tuner boxes and re-maps.
Depends how desperate you are for more go vs how risk averse you are IF something goes wrong..

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..
