allanon_1980 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I most certainly will, as I have been searching long and hard for reviews, except sams. Also, Im taking off the run flats next week. Can anyone recommend where to get a compressor,foam puncture kit thingy for my upcoming trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 BMW sell it as a mobility kit. The part number is B71100415035, and costs £63.83+VAT. I know this because I ordered mine today. I know it is expensive, but come resale time it will look better having the genuine bit of kit in the boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanon_1980 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Any you had runflats & changed to std? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks3 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Barry I changed from std 18" Msport wheels with runflats to 19" non runflats and found that the suspension became quite soft which was nice as far as bumps/potholes were concerned but not great on corners. I think if you go non runflat you also need to consider aftermarket suspension to get the balance back in the car. Just my personal opinion.

allanon_1980 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Perhaps. Ive 18k done on the runflats & hated every minute of it. Rears being changed monday. Still have a few k left on the fronts, so Ill decide when Im fully non runflat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Im changing to NON-runflats as soon as my car turns up - Alpina Dynamics 19", but I am lowering the suspension also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanon_1980 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 When Ive the remap in, and I bring my car for its first service, will the remap be overwritten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Depends if there is any major software updates due, gearbox etc. Just i-drive updates doesn't overwrite the main ecu software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanon_1980 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well, got the car done in Lisburn last Thursday. Must say Im delighted it. Totally transforms the car, its an absolute rocket. The shove in the back at seventy when you put the boot down, is the same as the shove at 30. Overtaking is a dream, just put the boot down and your gone. The car care centre in Lisburn were also a dream to deal with and there were quite a few nice cars up there, inc Lambo Gallardo, e55 Amg, another 335d, 911 gt3 etc etc Started up the lambo, what a noise, never heard the like.
