  • BMW 228i

    Finally got around to posting something about my car, just put the Dinan suspension on this weekend along with the new wheels and tires. The car has been Dinan tuned since I got it last summer, so it is making around 310bhp and 330tq. I added the M performance front splitter a few weeks back, the carbon spoiler will be in Tuesday, and I still have the M performance side blades to put on.

    I'll get around some time to taking better pictures, hopefully with the hood closed.

      Concern over oil prices and pipeline approvals, I work in pipeline construction so it has hit the company's bottom line pretty hard over the past 18 months.

                    I'm sure they look a lot better in person, there's a lot of detail with these wheels. They're deff a bit out there, not the common wheel selection for BMW..which is what makes it so cool. Good on ya

                    How are you liking the tune so far, did it make a big difference on the butt dyno?
                    Once the 435 was JB4 tuned it was shocking the amount of additional tq! The exhaust is louder, throatier..so curious how the 2.0 chipped feels.

                      The tune is pretty good, but it does not make near the difference the JB4 makes on the N55 motor, but it does make it more lively. Unlike your car with the JB4, there is not real difference in the exhaust sound, the N20 is overly quiet. I am planning on adding an exhaust, but want to put one on from an M235i.

                        I like the style of wheel, would just like to see them in a different finish as they always have the polished face with dark or gold/orange windows, curious about all one colour or maybe silver inner paint.
