Step up from a slammed Vauxhall Corsa with a big bodykit and daft exhausts I guess. Has the suspension broken?

Not my kettle of fish, but it takes all sorts.

I think he posted that on here not so long ago.
Got mixed reviews, predictably. :roll:

There are bits I like and bits I find comical, shame the exhaust sounds fairly average I was hoping for good things :evil:

Yeah hasn't been on here since then either. He was on the Z4 Facebook page looking for "likes" for a competition more recently but I only check this once every six months or so as I don't have an account!

Each to his own I suppose and maybe it would be OK if it was a racing car ... otherwise I think you'd feel a bit of a wally at the traffic lights! Maybe it comes with a chest wig and a gold medallion? Never quite sure why, when BMW have spent zillions producing a perfectly good car, you'd want to go and spoil it by changing it ... like I said, each to his own and if he doesn't mind being laughed at it's OK with me! ... :rofl:

I wonder what the story is behind this car.
It looks identical to the members car that was on here apart from the tail pipes and the wheels.
Surely its not the same car as surely the original tuning company wouldnt have used an 18i model?? Although it doesnt mention in the article.
But the graphics look to be in the exact same place as well so is it the same car and the member on here bought it like that?
Bit strange.

Most probably the member saw that car loved it so much wanted to do it to his. Doubt its the same car.

The engines are identical in the 18i/20i/28i it's only the software that's different, a remap on an 18i can add in excess of 100bhp to the output :thumbsup:
