I think the Cat D is the killer..... even when minor, it makes people worried and it can be a real pain to move on, as your mate is finding out...

Mind you if it was made Cat D 6 years ago when worth big money, it must have been a fair bit of damage...

Looks nice & not into it for silly money either .
Remap to 396bhp from the 35i ? :? really ? i thought that just under 400 was achievable from 35Is but less from 35i without major surgery
After my first dalliance with e89 last year i know what to expect , ownership buzz & handling is never going to WoW the same as my current ZMR even with big bhp but i'm after different set of virtues with this one :oops:

A jump of almost 25% from simple remap would be a decent return for £200 investment :wink:

After my first dalliance with e89 last year i know what to expect , ownership buzz & handling is never going to WoW the same as my current ZMR even with big bhp but i'm after different set of virtues with this one :oops:

There was a guy who come to Ducklakeview for some coding when I was at his. He is on here and his is decatted and mapped up to 397bhp apparently
18 Z4s owned to date.

Current: 2.5i Titan silver

Yep its more than doable with a few tweaks but a simple remap from 306bhp to 396bhp would be impressive :?
