    Sold my car :) and got a new daily

    No not my electric blue 5 lol that's going nowhere

    Sold my s3 had it for nearly 3 years was a great car but wanted more power and I was at stage 2 custom remap so if I wanted more would have been rods hybrid turbo etc.
    Ended up stripping a few bits and putting back to standard to earn some extra pennies





    Ended up with a 135i 3.0lt, straight 6, 24v, twin turbo more then happy with the power 1 tune up takes it to around 370bhp and ove 400 tourqe got loads of extras including 6 pot brakes

    Very nice. My daily is a 2011 123d M-Sport Coupe. Looks pretty much identical to your 135i. Ive got the same wheels etc. Mines Sapphire Black with the Black boston leather interior. Cracking cars. Ive got the M Power boot spoiler which sets the back end of nicely.

    If it hasnt had it done already, you need to do the camber pin mod on the front struts else the outside of the front tyres will wear out too quickly. I just replaced the full set of tyres on mine at a cost of £900!

    Looks good. That's a mad amount of power for something so small. I loved the look of the S3.

    Re: Sold my car :) and got a new daily

    Yeah I'm ok cheers, hope you are too

    well since the retro show I've put in about 5mins worth of work on the 5 I hit that I can't be bothered wall again + i decided that once I finished it there wouldn't be much of the summer left so I've put a sheet over it once I'm back off my holiday I'll finish off some paintwork that needs doing whilst it's still warm. There will be some performance work going on during the winter fingers crossed. The aim is to get it on the road as soon as the weather picks up in 201............
