Thank you for the kind words MrY.
Yes the exact same Bridgestone Potenza runflat in 225/40/19. Price wasn't too bad either for out in the karoo, R3800.

The very friendly uncle at Tiremart told me they stock for almost all cars since they on the N1.
Excellent 👍
 
I managed to get a few things done. Gearbox service was done last month and engine service is booked for this week. 8000km since the last service. Diff oil is next.
I wrapped the vbars in white vinyl and also thanks to awesome service from @FiRi@Rennzport I bought and fitted a new performance diffuser with F1 brake light.

I have been having a tough time getting things done between work and life. Car has been standing mostly. Also went away for the long weekend and left the car at home. Flying up to Pretoria for my eldest daughter's birthday next month so the car is not going on that journey either.
Service and diff was supposed to have been done by now. Need to also replace both rear tires as I picked up a bubble on the left rear from what I assume was due to the pothole incident. That is pushing mods a bit further back.

After a lot of nudging from @Safraz and an itch I had for some time now I had a long detailed discussion with my cousin (who also does all my car's maintenance (He is a master technician and diagnostic tech).
Both him and 2 of our friends been running tuned cars for long. (330d, MPS and Gti). (same tuner)

I know the forum will recommend Xceed and I too was gona go with them. However my cousin will have my car from tomorrow for the service and diff and is down the road from Wulfchiptegnik with whom he already has a relationship. So booking has been made with them.

Cant wait to collect the car Friday afternoon.

Hi bro.

The oke mentioned about 45kw and 100nm +. Not chasing figures to be honest. Its just a 320i ;)
I'm mostly after the sound with downpipe. More power will however always be fun. Went passed there and seen some nice Porches and a Lambo too.

Nice! Don't forget...Sound clips are mandatory once you collect 😉
100nm is a noticeable jump!
 
Car was tuned on Friday. Downpipe and Stage 2 SW went on. I collected the car Friday afternoon and drove back to Somerset West in heavy traffic and a bad case of flu. Power increased by 50kw and 100nm.

I took a quick run on Saturday and its night and day difference. Car pulls way stronger. Drove like a box most of the day on some private test facilities. Yesterday afternoon before leaving the office I decided not to be a box on the road and its peak time anyway. I reset the computer and put the car in comfort mode taking a chilled drive home. Consumption dropped from the pre tune average of 8.7l/100km to 7.8l/100km.

Here is a small sound clip. Will take a proper sound clip once I get a chance. BMC filter on its way from Hirrs-zn
