Body
I had the intention of dechroming the car and but only managed as far as changing the kidney grill (can provide originals with the car) and indicators to black, never got round to the actual dechroming.
Headlights bulbs upgraded - bulbs from Cyled
Also purchased upgraded fog lights - from Cycled but never got round to installing - can provide this with the car
Engine
At time of writing the mileage is 131206 miles, this will increase as it is still in use. This car has always undergone an annual full service under my 4 years of ownership as a car of this calibre and age needs that extra care and attention. It has just had it's MOT with new rear brembo brakes and discs installed.
The car has had its DPF gutted, swirl flap deleted and EGR mapped out. It has also undergone a remap taking the car to around 290-300bhp 600nm (no printout). All of this work has been carried out by a BMW approved specialist (receipts can be shown).
The gearbox has had a stage 3 hybrid xhp map - sharper gear changes when in sport mode and more economical gear changes in normal mode. This was carried out by Mick of M17 performance.
