Hello to all.

Stumbled across this great site after living on detailingworld.co.uk for a number of yrs.

Bought a White 4.0D MSport
Pan roof
7 Seats
Folding Mirrors
Reverse Camera
Bluetooth music
etc etc

Decided to stick with the 19's as the black 21's at BMW were 4k!!!!! Will put some other wheels on in the summer

Intial impressions are its great, mpg is averaging 36.4, though I'm looking at a remap with AMD currently. It will be the first one they have done, circa 50-65bhp more and around 70-80lbs torque. should be interesting!!!

How do I add a pic? I cant see manage attachments? TIA

Cheers Guys - like the place so will be sticking around/

I didnt run it in when I bought her - was told by the salesguys not to bother, other than to bed in the brakes and tyres for the first 100miles. Average between 75 and 80 and drive her in manual a lot. Not sure if that helps. Looking forward to see what the remap is going to be like.....

There's not many 'tasteful' mods that are available, and the 40d engine is
