Hi

Just need to know of the best guys in brisbane to take my car to get it tuned properly. Every one i go to tells me they just need the hand controller. But i know for a fact to get the best tune possible you need the apexi laptop software. Does anyone know who some of the garages in brisbane are that have this software so i can get a good solid tune out of my car

cheers

yeah mercury - even though they had NFI what my engine was they still did a good job with the powerFC tune.

Did they allow you to be around the car whilst it was dynoed? I hate the idea of having to sit in reception or whatever while they tune your car. I've always helped out on dyno sessions - I'm interested as I'll need a tune in a few weeks in Brissy.

Hey mate I had mercury tune my rb20.

I didnt stay around as it was a full tune and took them all day however they did tune it to exactally what I asked for.

Im sure if u asked them to hang around, you can sit upstairs their workshop in the lounge room then that way they can come see you if need to ask you any questions.

nah you're not allowed in the dyno room for OH+S reasons, but you can sit upstairs and read the ricer magazines while your car is going mental on the dyno. the dudes in the office were complaining that they couldn't hear themselves think when my car was on the dyno - it was awesome.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
