BMW now own the John Cooper Works name. There is a new works pack, including the turbo upgrade due for release next month. Buy a copy of evo, four page article on it. Still rather have your car though.
Wrong. There are two levels of works upgrade. The current one is basically a chip upgrade. The new version has a different turbo, suspension upgrades, braking upgrades (all at extra cost). The first kit was just a stop-gap until the proper kit is released.
It's not the new works, is it? No mention of bigger turbo etc, think it's the older one, where it's basically a remap and filter/exhaust change. The new one's gonna be a different beast. Still f**king ugly though.
Playing havoc with the alarm too. The alarm fob operates the alarm and central locking, and if I get out without unlocking manually, when I press the alarm it unlocks the car and turns the alarm on, press it again and locks the car but turns the alarm off. V.annoying.
No, bit stuck for ideas. Works fine off the switch inside, works fine off the alarm. But normally if I park and the cars locked, open my door and all the locks open. Not any more, just the drivers door will unlock while the boot and passenger side stay locked. Weird.
Not as simple as bigger bore=better. Don't remember exact details, but too big a bore can bugger the flow, something to do with the gases coming out in pulses. Someone clever like Fred/Yozza can prob explain.
Very easy, fitted Recaro to my passenger seat, took about 90mins (1st time I've done it). Think the cobra's are easier to fit as they come with their own subframe rather than re-using original.
