Daily driver, around 7k miles per annum!

Drove home from the MOT with no advisories and blew the doors off a chavved-up 325i who tried it, just another win for the N54 over its malformed cousin, the N53.

It is, makes the cold start quieter. You can do a mod to keep it permanently open to impress all your neighbours 😎, think it's called the golf tee mod, something like that.

They didn’t come with air suspension, but some were fitted with Adaptive M Suspension, is that what you’re thinking of? You’d usually know if you had it, as there’s a “Comfort” mode, and it noticeably firms up when you switch into Sport. If you’re still unsure, you can check the VIN spec...

It's too late i've already signed him up for 50 free bibles and a visit from the local missionary.

Have them on mine, they are excellent. (y)

Totally put me off buying a Ferrari. I have no choice but to stick with my 2010 BMW instead.

Yeah the whole journey of my suspension going followed by sourcing a new set followed by waiting for it to be delivered was a massive pain in the arse tbh :ROFLMAO: Fingers crossed you get it sorted in time for your Europe trip. You going anywhere exciting? Nürburgring?

This is where I got my B12 Pro-Kit from, they give you some standard delivery time (3-4 days PROVIDING the parts are already in the UK) and then email you to let you know how long it is actually going to be to get the parts from Germany, but they do give you an opportunity to cancel at that...

Autodoc appear to have the full set unless i'm reading it incorrectly. £125 for each of the fronts and £91 for each of the rears.

All 6 injectors replaced at 40k miles, I wonder what index they were. 7 or 8 maybe.

It had just ticked over to 98k when I installed the MHD map, so roughly 8000 miles.

I thought i'd update this thread at random intervals just in case someone else has a similar side-effect after installing an MHD 1+ map, the car is on 106k now, and still happily whistling. Turbos still boosting strong and hitting/maintaining their target.

You looking at the right car? (https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=GJ65BGK&checkRecalls=true) Last MOT in September 2025 with 42k on the clock.

Reminds me of the GT3 RS with the white and red.
