Ha - that's the problem now with all the hand-car washes closed due to this bloody lockdown...

Hope the good ones (including the one I was using) are still in business once things return to normal!

If remaps are done right, by trained and experienced professionals, who are intimately familiar with how your car's engine works, there are NO issues, and the gains can be substantial. All you're effectively doing is releasing the latent potential in your car's engine!

Just avoid using generic, plug-in 'tuning chips'. Proper remapping is carried out by software experts, and are bespoke to your car.

My mate (Kevin), who owns the following company, is a BMW expert. If he was on Mastermind, *anything* about BMWs, from any era, would be his specialist subject. Honestly, mate, what he doesn't know about Beemers isn't worth knowing, and he's the same with mapping: https://www.bmwizard.co.uk/

He's based in Oswestry, about 30 mins from me, so when this CV stuff is over, and if you fancy transforming your car's performance with a proper bespoke remap, give Kev a ring. You'd be welcome to stay over at mine, in order to break up your journey, or if you're in the area, pop in and have a chat with him. Trust me, it *will* be worth it!:cool:

Cheers mate, will give it some thought. I bought a space saver kit from eBay, space saver tyre in a bag with a jack and breaker bar. Takes up a bit of room but it’s peace of mind. :-).

No worries, mate. Defo bear it in mind, as it's a genuine offer (I'd like to help) and Kev is a master at his craft!:)

Nice one... Yeah, it's hard work keeping a car properly clean on the inside, even if you're fit!:)

Marco.

Finally got around to getting mine off it's winter wheels & tyres and onto its new boots ;)

Unfortunately it's trip to the body shop was cancelled due to the current situation, so it'll have to sit with it's flat, dull & stone chipped front end until we're all out of this

Although I have swapped out the black Schmiedmann grilles for OEM BMW chrome ones back to its original look :)
