The 200's replacement (BMW content)

[ColinG]

Mum and dad just got this to replace their Clio 200... I was initially unsure but after having a good drive in it the other night, and not driving it like you would a petrol, it's pretty epic! It pulls like a train from any revs,

Any recommendations on good remaps? Heard a few mention evolve?

Sitting with big brother (dirty lol)

 

[Scrooge]

That is really nice mate!

 

[pastieman]

Very nice mate and yes I would recommend evolve when it comes to BMW

Tbh they are pretty good at mapping anything, they did a good job with my mates golf

 

[koi]

Really starting to like these now.

 

[ColinG]

Only thing I've noticed so far is the relatively poor MPG.... currently averaging 37.5 and never seen higher than 41.2

 

[Addicted]

Looks lovely!

 

[daydotz]

Very nice looks a decent amount of toys

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Bit of a trek for you but etune in bonneybridge are meant to be good.

 

[JamieG]

Evolve are fantastic at what they do. My dad who works at GSR only ever sends there cars to be remapped.

 

[GiT]

I would have one of these tomorrow if I did the miles to warrant it.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

is it a twin turbo diesel version? looks rather smart

 

[Gally]

Awesome bus! Really really nice. I hated the coupe when it came out. How times have changed!

Easily the best driving position of any car i've been in for me anyway. Everything felt bang on once adjusted. Wheels are the only minor let down. Underwheeled slightly.

 

[DB.]

Very nice, love it!

 

[kpowell911]

Want a 1 series Coupe next!

 

[Chapppers11]

Lovely looking car that!

Winning red seats as well.

 

[ColinG]

Yes it's the twin turbo one...

Gally I have to agree there that was the first thing that I thought too.. The driving position is bang on! In fact it's got me looking at 135i coupes for myself now lol, but I cant change the twingo yet and I love the Vee arrghhhh!

Makes you realise so many cars out there you never think of!

Oh and original bill of sale was £33000!! Ouch! Think only thing it doesn't have is nav

 

[RDH]

That is awesome. Love these things.

Not jealous of your drive/garage set up at all. Not one bit. Not one teeny tiny bit.

 

[Kris86]

lovely car. What engine/power are these then? Not really up on my BMW's if its not an M3/M5

 

[Christopher]

Love the 123d. Great cars!

 

[ColinG]

lovely car. What engine/power are these then? Not really up on my BMW's if its not an M3/M5

204hp and 295lb/ft standard, a basic map takes them to Approx 250hp and 360lb/ft torque lol

 

[Daniel]

Your parents must be loaded!

My mum's got an 03 plate Proton.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Seriously quick when mapped are these..

 

[SOHROB]

Your current mpg is back on for the stock 123d, 270bhp with a map and dpf removal and it transforms the car.

 

[Rob]

I want one of these next, think they'll still be out of my price range

Looks so good.

 

[DB.]

Out of interest, as I'm hoping this will be my next car.

What age/price is it?

Cheers .

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I would love this or the 135i. Apart from the red leather. Not a fan. Looks great though in white. Love those wheels too.

 

[VeinAST]

Perfect spec derv! I'd be happy in that!

 

[ColinG]

Cheers .

Its an 11 plate, 6k on the clock and was £22k.. Someone's lost £10k in a year.. Ouch!

 

[Rob]

When I can find one I like for about 12k I'll buy one. Great buy from your rents point of view though, someone took a BIG hit in that first year!

 

[Fletcher]

Nice upgrade.

 

[.GAZ.]

Love it.

 

[.Kev.]

Get your self to evolve, Imran is a top bloke and knows all there is to know when it comes to BMW. They also often run group buys or club discounts on the mapping. We got our FJCW map'd for £320, should have been £450.

 

[Brett]

Really like that. 1 Series Coupes are lovely.

 

[DrR]

My 118d would struggle to do 46mpg on motorway runs!

Lovely cars though.

 

[SOHROB]

£22k is the right money for one of these, we sold our 12 plate demo with 4k on the clock for £24k

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Lovely cars though.

Thats pretty shocking from a 1800cc diesel!

It's 2 ltr, they all are even the 123D

in the 3293 miles I had it, it averaged 45.65mpg, best I got was 49mpg on a slow motorway run, never do town(traffic) driving either.

My 1.6 Focus petrol does 43mpg easy.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Ah so they are

Even at that its pretty pish! A mate of mine has a 325d (3ltr?) And that seems to be easy enough to get decent mpg?

Lead foot or there was something wrong with it mate.

My missus has a 118D m sport and on a trip back from wales i averaged 56.8 mpg.

 

[DrR]

80-90mph on the motorway is basically all it did, would struggle to hit 40 if i was really on it, focus gets driven the same.

It would do epic mpg on a-roads 50-60MPH, so i can believe you got that driving back from wales.
