I mean.....I concur.
Very cool car. Have really really enjoyed it. Fun, really not bad for a stock turbo-diesel in any way! Fuel consumption is unbelievably good 🥳

Couple small updates to write about...
Love the car and I really don't think it is sluggish whatsoever, but as boys will be boys, the prep for software has begun. Good starting point was XHP. Think this is often overlooked/neglected by many. As the Auditor lifestyle has groomed me, everything needs evidence and so we got on doing a few 1/4 runs [slow] before flashing, and then did the same afterwards to see a difference [still slow, but less slow] Improvement was around 0.3 seconds on the same stretch of road. I was rather impressed with this - considering it is not a 'performance' mod persay.
XHP feedback:
I opted for Stage 3 flash. Actual flash took maybe 1 whole minute to do. Super quick.
Comfort [which i do a lot of driving in] is still super comfy and pleasant.
Sport & Sport+ is lightning fast and the delay between paddles and shifts is almost not noticeable.
Having "D1...8" shown on the instrument cluster is SO nice. Sounds silly, but it is really great!
I have no negatives to report back and definitely do not regret doing it.
To match the now 'updated' gearbox, I spoke to a weird bra called @FiRi@Rennzport . He assisted with sourcing some blue paddle shift extenders to match the blue strip inside and got them to me almost instantly. Awesome service and what a nice guy. He knows I'll be wasting more money with him in time to come.
Pics attached.

Paint update:
I have always been meticulous about cleaning and washing etc. I do not take my car to a car wash - I quite enjoy washing myself.
I have been doing a lot of research and discussing with various forum members and think i have a nice process now. I did a clay-bar + polish + wax not too long ago, and the paint feels awesome. I have been using Turtle Wax shampoo & have been introduce to the Autoglym PolarSeal which is super cool. Alas - see few pictures below. The reflections are unedited and 100% original. Keep in mind this is Alpine White paint

Odds and ends:
Front brake pads were tired [sensor indicating 1500km apparently], and in serious need of a change. I replaced them with Hella Pagid [OE].
Random pic parked [rather skew] with a rather fast M140i that is currently getting even quicker!

Appreciate it. I always liked the 'look' of the extenders, but the feel is genuinely better. It's a larger surface and just feels sportier and more engaging. Definitely worth it to enhance the 'driving experience'.That steering looks insane

Price can fluctuate a little bit based on exchange rate. Map pack for 8-speed is $183 currently as per their site. Tuner will then factor in their cost for the map license etc. Budget anywhere from 3k-4k I'd say. Lots of custom features to play with - so really nice once car is tuned and there is alllllll the torque to play with.

Thank you. Yeah - seems most people neglect it as its 'expensive' for not a mod persay, but there definitely is a difference [tested] in stock, and once SW is done, I am really keen to play around with the functionality and see how we can optimise it even more!

I am quite a fan of the 340i style and find this is 'balanced'.
101mm tips were a must for me. beeeeeeg.

Personally I would have gone for smaller tips to make it look more natural, but the 101mm still looks great
