Do you think you'll miss the V8 rumble? I know I do already and the new car is not helping me get over it. I said I would mod it too... :bigblink:

No map yet. FL car has new ECU that is still Locked.

I put spacers on mine yesterday, 20mm rear & 15mm front. Makes a huge difference. That's about the max you can go

Smart motor by the way :thumbs:
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

No idea what spacer they are. I got them second-hand

Hard to tell in the pics but that pretty much the max you can go.
