ah k. You will need a FCD tuned through, need to set the 'cut' at the right point.

Boostworx remaps are only $550 inc. labour, and Im sure a majority of the SA people use Shaun to tune, and can vouch for how good he is.

And you get all those roads from NT to SA... :banana::down:

most people in SA use Jeff The Speed Lab to do remaps... and if they dont they should... jeff's work is much better and the end result shows it. Also cheaper :D

lol he really is... Jeff has been doing remaps longer then Shaun, quite often gets a lot of shauns jobs in that need finishing touches done so they run well... the list goes on.

Besides, jeff showed shaun the ropes when it comes to maps..., im not saying shaun is no good. im just saying that there are better ecu remappers out there and i would dare say that jeff is up there.

the fact my motors have never popped, ever, on the track or dyno... and cop an absolute hiding... are a testimate to jeff's tuning.

Now... change "Jeff" to "Shaun" and that pretty much where I stand.

Not going to start a "My tuner kicks ass and your's is shit and I want to pee pee in his eye" War here....

Never commented on jeff, nor will I, having never met the man, only seen/driven exapmles of his handywork.

This is only going to end in a stalemate though, seeing as you are supported by Jeff/Speedlab, and Im supported by Shaun/Boostworx.

Roshambo you for it? :banana::down:

yours may be faster, but I have better wheel fitment. :down: (18 x 9 +/- 0's and 18 x 10 +5's on a live axle 31 was probably the worst Idea in world history.)

So Mine looks great parked :D:):D

oh, and earnie and bert drift mascots. :banana:

It's amazing what you hear out there about various tuners from one day to the next.

I heard, from what I thought was a reliable source, not to ever take your car to Martin Donan.

I've now heard from much more reliable sources that he's the best tuner in Australia.

Very big statement, but like I said, I've heard that from reliable sources which include other tuners now.

Lol at this thread...

1. You will always hunger for more power. I am a little bored with 326kw at wheels now myself.

2. I have had tunes done by shaun, martin and john keen at southern hi tech dyno.

All were good but I have been super happy with johns work. Recommend him highly.

      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.
