Howzit man
Yes I got the history checked. Has a full service history with BMW. Car checked out clean without any abuse damage.
Consumption on it is great out of town. In town it's a bit heavy. Wife drives it every day and it sits on 10.5l/100km. But will check the true consumption when I fill up again.
We came back from klerksdorp last weekend with a consumption of 18.7km/l. Cruising at 120km/h. We did 355km and it said we can still do 975km.
If I step on it on the open road it's still lighter than my Fiesta. I'm getting just over 14km/l and that's driving between 160km/h to 200km/h on the open road.
Car will go in tomorrow for some touches. Seeing as i don't have a compressor any more I've decided to take it to a panel shop. Nothing major.

Yes it's high but I don't mind as I prefer that she drives with the aircon on. We're staying in Kuruman now. Use to stay in Centurion. Big jump.
Should get the car back today. Only done some small changes to the looks. Hopefully I can add some performance bits soon. Just want to give the wife more time to get use to it.
a Cornel without a compressor is just a Corn..
the people of Kuruman need gloss black rims and grills bro :rollsmile:

Decided to get some FR&R software on my 320d.
We did not tune it for power as I don't have DP yet(joys of living in Kuruman, will sort that when I go to the city again)
So this was the results. And may I add it's amazing on the road. The acceleration time improved a lot.
Looks like I'm also getting better consumption now. Cruised at 120km/l expect for when I over took.
Also note that my car was bench flashed as Leon could not gain access to my ecu via the obd port.
So we did a before dyno, mapped it and did the after run. No time for it to adapt or anything.

Thanks for the input guys.
I got my dp/decat sorted yesterday at Rogue Performance. Dwayne and his team did an awesome job on the dp.
Sound on start-up is more or less the same. When you rev it a little bit, you can hear the turbo spool. When you gun it a bit you can hear the sound changed. Sounds much better.
Really impressed with Dwayne's work!
Can't load pics so if someone will help me just send me a pm with your number.
