I'm copying Uncle Joe. They seem to be the only manufacturer that does a 1M specific set, ie lower front than rears. Andrew does eibach but they are a "generic" E8x setup so aren't what I am after. Stuart has helped out and shipped them to southernBM in readiness

Just wondering if an IC is worthwhile and will it give more killerwasps than just the tune and DP back akra. I know in this weather it wouldn't hurt hey

Also will look at some re coding, start up bs on iDrive and mirro fold on remote lock too, that would be cool.

You might aswell go the full monty mate..If you are considering a tune, the IC upgrade is a must...

I'm starting to think an IC is needed.
If I'm free I may meet you at SouthernBM, I'm also interested on getting some coding done.

I didn't realise Andrew does some coding. Wish we have someone up here who does it. Like others I think IC is a must and the ETS should be perfect. May as well put in a aFe stage 2? .

I am actually more interested in ESS stage 2 . It would be interesting to dyno all of those.

I have had a few items coded. The mirrors folding on locking the car is gold. Should have been OEM.

Can the M button on be coded? I remember the old days when the dealers used to do these codings.

Yes with the Cobb Tune. You select linear Map instead of stock throttle map and the M remains on.

Alpine, given that you don't track your own cars, better return for $$ as M2 deposit

So I'm reading this as a very good idea if you track or go prolonged WOT. So if I don't do either then.... Waste of $$$

TBH I'm after max kw not track readiness. There's only one person I know of here who is SERIOUS about the track readiness approach and that would be a little bird respect! DPs would help I guess but the little Vader is noisy enough and I'm not into smelly cars so I will leave these alone.
