    Would recommend you get a walnut blast done before any mods/tuning

    (http://blog.modbargains.com/get-nuts-feed-bmw-n55-walnuts-get-clean-tune/)

    Used the Hi-Velocity and Torque Peformance dyno without any issues , had issues with the dyno at MCR

    +100HP on my 98 Map

    +140HP on my E50+ map

    But my 335i is FBO (full bolt on) - Tune, Intercooler, downpipes, intake, exhaust,

    misfire's are the common issue once power etc has been dialled up - would check on spark plugs life etc (I just replaced them all before the tune/mods)

    The real M engine it should have had rather than the fake M hairdresser's one that it came with. Thumbs up from me.

    LOL

    that hairdresser engine that's stock is holding 850+RWHP while that "M" engine needs the internals upgraded to hold the SS power which is significantly lower :(

    to me the last true M engines are the E46 , E60 - skip past the e9x platform and now the F series

    Yeah anyways ... tirerack.com still have PSS super sports for $347 USD + tax + shipping each so looking just over 1k landed... not too bad for 20s. Will be here in 3-4 days. Then around 20 per wheel to fit.

    Will be new rubber, not new old stock.

    actually just banged in the full set.. $2400 NZD inc shipping and tax by the last lot of tires I got off them. Still cheaper than 4k which is what tire shops hear will want for them.

    Nice, ya pity they don't have the size i require in stock :(

    Looks like I am waiting till they're back in stock

    What would the duty be? Also, the shipping must be MASSIVE considering the weight or is it not?

    I paid $287 US for 4 tyres shipped to my door

    Just order them and stick the standard wheels and tires back on for a while .. had to do this on my 330 with its 19s once ... you get use to get it even if you die a little inside.

    Ya currently running my Apex wheels with the ToyoR888 semi-slicks , just have to remind myself I need to get some heat in them to get some grip :D

    Not sure if they have your size, but my tire guy from fire stone would of got me a set for $1500. Special order from the NZ importers. Could be worth asking, he was cheaper than Beaurepaires

    Would be keen if you could pm contact - thanks

    Cheers - I've booked it in for a service at BM Workshop to go over everything thoroughly before I start with any mods. I wanna get Ross to check out condition of HPFP, turbos, intakes etc before I start tinkering. It came with a transferrable mechanical warranty thats good for the next 2 years which will be voided if I mod as well so have to keep that in mind if something costly is on its way out

    Although i'm so keen on an AA exhaust to hear more of that lovely straight 6 engine note!

    You'll be in good hands , Ross has pretty much done all the modification installs for mine

    in hindsight with the exhaust , I would probably get the BMW performance mufflers and then fabricate/buy the pipes here, to the downpipes - nice thing with the AA exhaust was it was a complete set

    Pretty impressed with this tyre, coming from RFT's on the stock wheels on my E92

    Nearly 2 years , around 40,000Km and that included 5-6 track days as well , got to the cords on the rears PSS (285/25/20)

    So as it's winter in the US , tiretrack don't have stock at the moment (eta 30-60days :S ) - does anyone know an alternative place to source?

    (quote with shipping for new rears was $970 US)
