  4. The power The feel of the steering wheel (feels heavy and I like it, don't knw y) Rear wheel drive and I Luvv it wen it's wet (DTC off, full lock and foot down) :) And very economical and get great power in return and hopefully wen I get mine remapped, I shall Luvv her more
  5. Question to kee1173 Is that 7 series urs, and which 1 is it. I Luvv that shape and my personal opinion is that I think Das the best shape. My friend had a mauve purple 1 and it was the 728i and wot a machine. Proper luxury. The best gadget I luvvd I'm my friends 1 was that he had a coin holder which yu cud tuck away, luvvd it. The small stuff really catches on and also he had automatic head rests. With a clik of a button they go up and down. Those little stuff makes yu Lubb da car even more. I thought audis were good, how wrong was I. Anyways sorry for chatting a whole load of bull.
  6. Thank you guys for the info. I was actually looking into the air filter and I'm gonna be sticking her into BMW for a service and hopefully soon will be getting a remap. The guy I spoke to told me he will try and push it to the 200 barrier and guarantees me 20 percent more fuel efficient. The place is called polimax and they do evolution chips. Anyone heard of evolution chips?? P.s Thanks for all your help, much appreciated
  7. Luvv dat colour!! Good buy. Welcome
  8. Thanks gav for that, was a big help. And I'm seriously considering the remap but I've been told today by a friend that it cud mess about, he said the engine management light will go off and apparently on diesel models yu get black smoke if yu remap?? Any ideas if that's true??

    Maybe it could do with a new service, coz my 120d around town was averaging 22 mpg and after the service its nw averaging 26.6 mpgs. But I still feel 26.6 is too less for a diesel. My one drinks diesel like its free. Anova thing that helps me, is wen I drive in manual mode. Anyways hopefully the numbers shoots up.
  10. Gloss Black, coz near my house theres a bmw 318ci, the same black as urz and hes got gloss black and it looks the dogz b0ll0cks (mind my language) :)
  11.
