Stage1 remap (£750 inc) and air filter(£93.60 inc vat fitted) should get you 440-460ps and around 540nm.

There's bugga all out there!

I'm in no rush as I really do enjoy the M3 so if something comes up I'll take a look. I won't be scouring the country for one.

Cheers guys.

Condor grey is a fantastic colour, especially on a black edition.

But don't be stupid Shane. An S3? Had one, hated it!

Shagga, you're dead to me, especially with an 800x600 picture of a BMW attached to all of your posts! Get the B8, you'll stop being a ghost and we'll give you a big warm group hug.
No matter where you go, there you are.

I knew that would rouse a response from you Bam.

Changing signature pic now.

Now get back into an Audi for the full-fat group hug (no reach arounds).

Mate, if I could find something suitable I would but won't rush. The Beemer is actually a VERY good car.

I'm surprised though that after 7 years on this forum I wouldn't even get a little tickle if I return to the fold - gutted!

I did ask and he said he would get back to me (nothing). That's how it's advertised so I assume yes.
