Racechip XLR - £90 posted

I "upgraded" my Racechip XLR to the one with bluetooth, so this is now surplus to requirements
(This one obviously does not have bluetooth - only the controller dial to alter modes).

The Racechip XLR alters the throttle response, and certainly makes it far more responsive, or economical depending on your preference.
The controller dial top/fascia (whatever you want to call it) has seen better days, but it does still function perfectly - see pic.

Please note: This does NOT add any power to your vehicle, it simply increases or decreases throttle response.

£90 posted

[EDITED 29th May - Price dropped to £90 as previously agreed £90 with Vanne but sadly it's the wrong part for his M Coupe]

how does 90 sound, and ill sort the postage via Fedex? :thumbsup:. Just checking this will work with m coupe?

The link you've got shows the other non m?
 
Ahh, I don’t know myself, best check their website (I’ll look also when I got 5mins spare)
 
ive just emailed them, but i am thinking not, ive checked different ones and they have different part numbers, but.. ill email XLR and ask.
 
I am tempted but I don’t know why, as I don’t know how to justify £100 for an earlier throttle position.
I will have more of a think

They're £189.99 new, and offers are welcomed. I Should actually change the price in my post, as I'd previously agreed to £90 to Vanne but it's the wrong one for his M Coupe
 
If it is also good for the 3.0 si then £90 posted, you have a deal. Cannot for the life of me work out from the website if it is compatible or not?

I’m afraid I don’t know & can’t tell from the site either! 😕

Is this just plug and play, and any thoughts on the difference to the sport button?

Yes it's plug and play, I really like the XLR, it defo increases throttle response far more than the sport button does. It has different modes, ECO which reduces response, there's Sport mode which is similar to just turning on sport button I think, then there's Race which is really responsive.

Where does it fit in the car?

It plugs into the accelerator pedal connection, are you tuck the actual device up under the steering column out the way

These don't add any power as such, they just make it far more responsive - which i guess gives the feeling of a bit more oomph
