Brand New 116d in Sweden

Hi Fellow BMW lovers!

I just wanted to share some of my pics with you to see what you think!

Its a 2011 116d that is exactly two months old. I've driven 6600km so far.
I put 18" Wheels on right away, Tinted windows and BMW-Performance Grille in the front. That's it so far...
The Car is newly Waxed with Zymöl wax.

Ok cool yee interesting to see how it develops. How dark do you want your tints to be? Which Brand you going with? You going to do anything about the dot-matrix?

Ouhh ok you would prob be looking at 35%, Dot-matrix is the little dots around the edge of the rear quarters and back window, they cause the film to bubble around the edges, can be quite bad dependent on film used and how skilled is the professional.

Ok, now I know what you think of. It's bubbling on the film that I use right now at least, but that's a very very cheap reusable film.

I'm going to wait until the spring, since It's so dark in the winter, and the tint won't make it any easier to back it up.

Can one do anything about the "dot matrix" in the rear windows?

Well, The 116d isn't a fast car. I wanted something that runs really cheap but still drives well and looks good. And since I'm a BMW fanatic, the choice wasn't hard.
Since the 116d has the same 2 liter engine as the more powerful models it's quite fast. It has 260Nm of Torque and that's good in such a small car. I mostly drive at 80kmh on my way to work and the overtaking performance is absolutely satisfactory. But I'm thinking about software tuning it to 177hp/360Nm. I'm only concerned about my guarantees.

Its funny...people buy a 116d because they are cheaper and more economic...afterwards they want to remap...its always the some...LOL....

its impossible to have a 116d with the some performance of a 120d with just a remap...also longevity of the motor will not be the some....

I just installed the BMW performance power kit in my 120d... why they change along with ECU the IC + powerful fan + (in my case the torque convertor) ....I know that with a normal remap i would get more power and torque...but I want also warranty and reliability ...something you will not have in a 116d remapped for the same values of 120d....

you should bought a 120d or at least a 118d if the purpose was performance.

cheers,.

Well, I love performance as much as the next guy, But this one is just for cheap thrills on my way to work. Still, It's a great car even with the less powerful engine. I'm probably going to keep it as it is for at least three years, until it's all mine, and during that time I'm going to buy a 328 or 528 or better to get the performance i want in the weekends. so the 116d will be my trusted steed that takes me To Scania (Work).
