I must admit, Sarah's had her TT225 since 2008 and taken it from 60k to 135k and i'd have it in a heartbeat. Probably as ive maintained it, but in the grand scheme of things, its a brilliant car, not the most exciting, but f*ck me, id have saved thousands upon thousands upon thousands of £££'s...

The 21" turbines really make the car imho, it was deffo designed to go on them!! I love them, but being right handed, using a screen that big would be a nightmare. Make more sense in LHD for me - so i clearly need to move to Santa Monica like my bro :up:

Sorry, didn't see this before. He's just done a little piece on exactly that as it happens! https://80.lv/articles/building-environments-for-uncharted-the-lost-legacy/ - some really geeky stuff in there as well. Matt's been working at Naughty Dog for a good 6 months now, so he's been able to put...

Good lord 😂 Thats possibly up there with LED washer jets.

Hmm, might not have the armrest USB option then. Knowing BMW, was probably extra! Ha ha, cheers! It is a very good car to be fair, although i do wish it was a DCT M3 a hell of a lot!! 500 miles to tank stops that train of thought though 😂 As i dont have kids, i guess this a little...

I'd just go for the twin tailpipe on the left. 335i/d exhausts on a 4 cylinder diesel is a tad lame imho. On the flipside, maybe go the whole hog & add some M3/5 badges, dark tints & polish numberplate surrounds as well?

Pretty much yeah, mine goes in the armrest and connects to USB/Aux at the same time. Allows the iPhone/iPod to charge + i can control everything music wise on the iDrive screen :up:

Not gonna lie, that pretty appalling road holding for a 4wd car 😂 They're not that powerful that all the boosts appear at some point & flips you off into the scenery.

45bhp is quite a lot lower than the claim though, especially considering its a new turbo! Any thought so far on what the issue might be?

Is yours mapped or standard? Assume as an '08 its an M57?

Yeah i saw that, although its a M57 version, not N57 which id need - unless they are the same? Although i've already spoken to Jason at BWChiptune, IF i were to do anything to add more power, id get it done properly. £400 isnt so bad for a properly developed 300bhp/500lb ft and they're only 15...

Tell me about it, that's why i'm so irritated 😂 That could work, might actually add it to my diary then!! Was gonna bring the Mini as well, to check that its all back to 100% again ... although tbf, even 87% would be ok lol.

Ah cr4p, totally forgot about this!!! Looks to have been a great turnout as well ... hope everyone had a good day

I track it all in excel with a monthly cashflow forecast/personal balance sheet - so i know exactly what goes in/out per month & my expected/required financial position in 6-18 months time.

I do, but given the choice of selling the RS3 or the Boxster ... no kids, so no need for a 5 door hatchback! :up: Flat 6 N/A > Turbo for noise. Although the boosted 5 pot in the Audi was pretty darn epic.

I reckon faulty, the car is 100% standard elsewhere, so cant imagine that its been buggered about with EGR wise. No EML lights, just background fault codes. I've had it for years (it runs on my Windows XP netbook lol), so probably since my first e46, but i would have just bought it from...

No idea currently, EGR is still on there. Apparently its less prone to gunking up on the later cars, but i still need to work out whats what. Is running fine, DPF is able to regen, temps are fine etc etc, but its also giving me the following: Egr actuator position control valve too far open /...

Now done about 1k miles in it, which rather amusingly, is only 2 tanks of fuel. Clearly some kind of witchcraft as i've only seen 250 a tank in any of my cars, for about 6 years 😂 Also encountered my first issue, which i would imagine is exactly why the previous owner got rid of it, a...

My list is clearly very short when compared to most, mainly as imho 99.9% of the youtube car guys know next to f*ck all about what they are reviewing, which irritates me. So with that in mind: Drivetribe - not all vids, but some stuff is good, mostly Catchpole & Bovingdon as i liked their Evo...

That interior just looks so lovely!!

Held up pretty well tbf. Its an RS3 well. If S3's sounded like that, nobody would buy the RS3 😂

At this rate it would be quicker for Tom to design another one & let me sell it for him ;) But im not sure i cant be bothered with the hassle of selling to CS members for tiny margins lol.

Just the boring, flat white, i quite like BMW's in this shade though, nearly got the M135i in white/black! Yeah, the RS3 with Magnetic was flipping awful, even after having all 4 dampers replaced it crashed & banged over every pot hole/speed bump on the way to work! Nowhere near as compliant as...

Thank you!! Yes, ive always admired the 3.0d engine actually, nearly bought a manual e46 330cd years ago, but didnt on the basis that it was probably all the car i'd ever need .... i had a very long list of cars that i wanted to own at that point so it made no sense 😂 :relaxed...

Cant stand the colour, but the car (bar the wheels) looks like a great daily! The spec they come with these days is crazy, literally no point delving into the options list ...

So with Brexit/Article 50/General economic slowdown appearing to halve my income over the past 6 months, it was time to stockpile some rainy day cash & pay off some loans ... so the idea was to sell the RS3 and buy a 5dr Golf Gti instead. Unfortunately, trying to find a 5dr mk6 DSG Gti with...

So do i, as it'll mean i'm back to smashing target every month, instead of cold calling like a dog 😂 I prefer the interior quality of it to the newer ones actually, although it feels "older" to drive. The latest iDrive (similar to the M135i) helps drag it out of the noughties...

As daft as it sounds, it wasn't so much about the engine, it was about finding a 6 cylinder auto e92 with the right options/miles/history. I'd lined up a 330, 335i and this 330d to view on Saturday, but the other two sold late in the week, which kinda left me just with the 330d. My heart kept...

It was probably a little overpriced (compared to private, but dealer, ok cost i think) ... But then again, its immaculate, in the right spec, recently serviced & with new tyres/discs/pads all round, so im happy enough :grinning:

An auto 330d lol. I'm now officially a "sensible daily driver" person 😂 Exactly that, all the "driveway traders" were offering me £30k & failing to pay me a deposit/turn up when they promised, so i've just traded it against the BMW. That way i get a new car & £20k back in my bank...
