My new car.... E91 330d (mapped)
Discussion
So I finally went out and bought a fastish car...
Having moved up from a clio, a t4 van, and currently a 2001 jeep cherokee where i live in South Africa- this thing is in a different league! Its not only the fastest thing I have driven but also surprisingly economical.
Its been emapped to around 270BHP, its a 2007 with a manual gearbox and all the extras (iDrive, phone connection etc), and even came with a set of full winter tyres on BMW alloys. Its even already had the RFTs ditched. For its 70000 miles it is absolutely immaculate and a real credit to its former owner who has spared no cost in maintaining it.
Looking forward to many miles of happy motoring ahead!

Thanks guys, I agree the wheels are the best on the E90 3-series.
The official torque figure pre-map was 379lb/ft (500nm) and the map has taken it to 440lb/ft (600nm) according to the website (emaps).
It certainly shifts....
The engine also sounds surprisingly good, its very smooth as a 6 cylinder. Im really glad I didn't do the sensible thing and get the 320d!
The owner before had all new iDrive software/maps installed and all the alloys/paint done and the remap and bought the winter tyres so its working tip-top. Travelled back home from it last night at just below 80 lepton average- getting 48 mpg on the motorway!
