Thinking of getting one of these, seen a couple of m-sports down in glasgow at the weekend, they seem really good performance too.
340 bhp and 540 lb/ft from a remap sounds good.
Anyone have any experience with them? And also, does anyone know any good bmw forums?

Not a very 'chatty' forum, just straight to the point when you have got a problem.
Dont know anything about them, just get one they are cool

mr2 will be going, it actually never gets used, drove it for the 1st time in a couple of months last week to MOT station, so im going to sell now it's got 12months test.
i'm thinking of selling the evo, had it over 2 years now, a long time for me, and it's alot of money sitting there to be used as a 3rd car.
the van is definately getting kept.

I work for a BMW main dealer, I think the 535d is such a great car and very nice to drive, get a test drive in one!

'35d is one of the most perfectly suited engine and car combos I have ever driven in the 5 series.
One of my favourite driving experiences. Get it bought. Pulls and pulls....

Brother had one in 2008, when we went out in it I was surprised at how responsive it was. He only owned it a month and bought a new m3... Looks too boring imo.
