Recently purchased my first BMW since moving to New Zealand.

2008 320i M-Sport Coupe. 

Full M-Sport Black Leather interior w/ Aluminium trim

Dark metallic Grey painted M-Sport wheels w/ Bridgestone Potenza 225/40R18 in the front & 255/35R18 on the rear.

If anyone knows where to go in Wellington to have the I-Drive updated to NZ maps etc please give me a shout.

I just purchased a Band Expander for my 2008 I-Drive System.

Can anyone explain how I install it?

I'm a total newb when it comes to wiring/electrical etc

I assume the 2 plugs will be straightforward, but what do I do with the red wire?

Many thanks

Gregg

Nice clean 335i, I would highly recommend the MHD tunes as they can be tailored to your car depending on how modified your car is. yes to a new charge pipe and an intercooler upgrade is highly recommended as the stock intercooler is borderline. As to shops in Wellington I haven't had a lot of luck to be fair. Most of the Euro shops are good with the older stuff but not many seem up with the play on the N54 issues. Mike Paige in Kapiti has a good rep. 

How is The Toy Shop Wellington? I assumed they would be a great point of contact.

you should catch up with Tom Delahunty he has a 335i manual wagon he's thinking of parting ways with

Who is Tom Delahunty? Do you have any images of the wagon?

Thanks

Many thanks for all of the information. I'm hoping to be behind the wheel before the end of January.

Are there any particular options I should be looking out for, or any common problems? 

I have actually used Demon Tweeks a number of times when I lived over in the UK. I owned a Ford Fiesta XR2i for about 4 years, and spent 10's of thousands of pounds on the car  I Loved that thing.

Thanks again

Hi everyone,

My name is Gregg and I'm currently in the market for a BMW 335i Station Wagon. I have around 20k, is this reasonable to get a mint example?

I have a couple of question, where is the best place to look for aftermarket items in NZ?

Any things I should be looking out for when purchasing a 335i Wagon?

During my search, I have been looking for the manual, but I seem to be hitting a brick wall. 

I have been researching and found that changing to a single turbo, with a remap id the best way to gain additional power?

Thanks

Gregg
