Bmw newbie e82

So now that the holidays are over and work is back in full swing. I really didn't have the time to keep you guys updated on the cars progress, so I'm just going to take you back in time, to around the December/January period of 2019/2020.

So the car eventually got a file. Let's say Secret Santa had his way while I was outside the country, but nevertheless it was a good surprise to come home too. Myan at CPI got to do his magic and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the figures and throwbacks hey.

So you saw the base runs we did a while back at Autotrix. Here's the car with the File only. No other hardware mods or fuel additives, just the CPI file and it's more or less in the middle of the day for this dyno run ...

For the maths guys, it's a 32wkw and 106nm jump. It really think that's more than sufficient, but it would be nice to see what she makes with less restriction going in (air filter) and out (downpipe).

OK so seeing there was performance modifications introduced I thought to play with a few cosmetic modifications.

First up was Gloss black double slotted grills.... then the Stop/Start bottom needed a change... optd for the red just cause it looked awesome...

Lastly was the Carbon Fibre Rear Spoiler... headed over to Boss Rides in Durban for fitment and they did a great job

so just a recent update...

You know in the beginning when I spoke about a Downpipe??? ... well I was mistaken. Managed to compare it to another e82 120d and found out it's the Same Diameter of the stock downpipe with just the Dpf removed. so with that being said it's just :

BMC Flat filter
DPF removed
CPI file

that being said, I need to look around for a Downpipe and research the size variables.

...so continuing with the Interior,spoke to the guys down at Rennzsport after looking at the stock gear knob... they was ever willing to send through this... unfortunately the fitment took longer than usual due to the Mod not being a straight plug and play... fast forward a few weeks... managed to find the loom on ebay... within a week it arrived and the new gear shfter/knob was Installed... so relieved!!!
