It would still have been down by about 200hp :? compared to my 140i but 200hp more compared to my i10 :D

Tim.
How many bhp is your 140i? Around 335 I thought? A mapped 20i could be as little as 30/40 bhp less :driving:

I think its around 340 or so although dyno tests on standard cars they can be pushing upto 370 or so :)

I would never be happy with mapping an engine Rob, theres always that niggling feeling it could end in tears :? I never understand why people stick a JB4 on their 135/140s :? why not just get a more powerful car built for the job, I think a new engine for the 140i is 12k :o Too risky for my wallet.

Tim.
It’s only what bmw do themselves with the n20 range though? The different power outputs are achieved with alternative software and the mechanicals are the same.
My car is only around 30bhp more than the 28i, that’s not a lot and I’m pretty sure bmw build in a bigger safety margin than that :thumbsup:
If it explodes I’ll let you know :lol:
