Wow what a stunner! Congrats bud. Wish you many happy kms.
I know it's two very different cars but how do you find the 340i compared to the 7R so far?

Hey bud,
So like you said, they are 2 different cars.
It all depends what you want and what suits your lifestyle.
The launch on the 7R :inlove: ,the practicality, the confidence to push it around a corner at high speed and know it sticks all the way.
Like i mentioned, the ride isnt very good with a drop. Very stiff and uncomfortable.
Im a Bmw guy.....when you sit in it, it feels like home. That 3rd gear pull :inlove: , the sound through the rev range. Wont get that in an R.
That being said. I wish i could own them both at the same time.

Hi Fanatics,
So its been a while since the last update.
I took the car in for a strange noise coming from the engine bay.
Long story short, 3 months later new motor and Turbo fitted.
after that i had an M Performance exhaust fitted. Waste of money.
Needed more tone so off to Xflow.
Downpipe and Mid pipe fitted. All i can say is wow....Just wow. It has to be heard in person to understand what an awesome sound it makes.
Awesome service and great workman ship from ALister as always.
I got a set of H&R springs which i still need to fit.
Purchased the TU HPFP pump from a Supra to fit, awaiting the extension harness from Burger Motorsport.
Keeping an eye for a set of M3/M4 wheels.

That looks properly class!
Very nice man! I am glad that BWM managed to sort your Toyota motor out, or visa versa :roflol:
Tell me, did Toyota offer you an Etios with your Supra pump purchase or a Supra?

Hi all,
Been a while since i last posted. Works been pretty crazy.
Few updates on the car...
Fitted a set of OEM 19s 437M wheels that i got off a forum member
Car was booked in for an @xcede Tune.
My request was to keep it conservative as a pump fuel flash as i drive around mostly with pump.
The team did an awesome job and completely xceded my expectations. What a fun car to drive with the new found power.
Smooth, no issues, no funnys and most importantly very consistent power delivery anytime anywhere....
Massive thank you to them.
Did a few test runs at Rhino airfield a couple weekends back to test.
Managed a best time of 12.3 on the 1/4 on a really hot day out. Very happy with that, with more practice im sure i can get it down further.
Hopefully will get xHP done in the next week or 2.

Before and After (Tune plus fuel mix)
