Jamesy Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have a 530d m sport carbon black as my daily it's been mapped had egr and dpf done, it's now done 160,000 miles and it still goes like hell I just recently had 160mph showing on the clock going down the autobhan in November they are great cars will get rid of mine this year and upgrade to a 535d m sport Yeah the 530d once mapped is absolutely brilliant - my old one used to get decent MPG too. The whole "carbon black" colour though is weird no? its more like a deep blue most of the time isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 This was my old one, may look at getting the 19" tigerclaw alloys again for this one, they sit nice with spacers.... https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1004407_466311796795513_1469839878_n.jpg?oh=7ef3f76bf937637a0419c80250c115c1&oe=591B41BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Some updated pics of the car.... new wheels hopefully next week- these Spiders are nice, but they are still a "stock" item so will have to change!! https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15941126_1215331818560170_7021421049132821815_n.jpg?oh=d60bd9fb1204a129fea16f60c10b4130&oe=58DD3D73 https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15965922_1215331828560169_7838890060361041906_n.jpg?oh=9a046707d089352d6123db7932ccdabc&oe=591F2791 https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15977839_1215331861893499_8207303250632772514_n.jpg?oh=2a1a07e541bb794337033fdb7d1e44f3&oe=5923997A https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16003185_1215331885226830_3587841536480822510_n.jpg?oh=ff7c81fb174c2121c8dccdb5807519bd&oe=591501E0 https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15894812_1215331898560162_3979595106438171331_n.jpg?oh=aa2ab19fff1b24f9f29374b4e8aa7dbb&oe=59181FDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Last week fitted the new black BMW badges front and rear and removed the chrome number plate surrounds ... also fitted some black front grills. https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15965100_1215332075226811_7928539172360623861_n.jpg?oh=c11adb95df1459a2b2087541518b7711&oe=591F2108 https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-9/15978039_1215331918560160_6056796720863917691_n.jpg?oh=e7aec8db23ba00c4d5df5ae064017249&oe=590F1D15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Been busy with the car over the last 6 weeks, now has the following done; Full service New glow Plugs Lowered 50mm all round on H&R suspension DPF straight through removal pipe Decat pipe SRD Stage 1 remap EGR Delete Black front grills De-chromed front and rear Black BMW badges all round Now running at a healthy 340 BHP and 510 ftlbs - absolute weapon!! Pics coming soon, well happy with it though, performance and noise is staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Good figures that. Did you change over the exhaust ? I am really teed by the M-Performance exhaust on mine as retains warranty etc too but not sure how much of a difference it will make on a diesel. Is it the decat and DPF delete that has led to a better noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Very good figures there. I am often think of getting one of these (the E61 estate), what sort of cost was the DPF bypass pipe, and the remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krister Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 These are very nice cars and very tuneable. There are a couple in Finland running almost 500bhp with just upgraded the bigger turbo, intercooler and exhaust mods. Thinking about buying one my self. 340bhp remap is quite conservative. Most that are chipped here are 360-380hp and 700-800Nm torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Lovely car that[emoji1305] Since I bought our first BMW about 3 or 4 years ago I've not had the supra on the road since, we've had two E90's and an F30 which is my daily. My wife has the 325 msport which is a great motor, both our cars return 45 mpg no matter how they are driven. I haven't test driven an Audi so can't comment on them but I probably wouldn't look past BMW when buying my next car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I almost bought one but ended up with the 3.0tdi A5 instead I made a mistake... I love that shape 5 series but it was hard finding a nice spec black one at the time. The 335d coupes that are now long gone were nice aswell. The 3.0tdi In the Audi is rubbish for those of you wondering and the S-Tronic boxes are notchy garbage. Buy BMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the decat and DPF delete that has led to a better noise? Hi mate, not full exhaust but instead of the big DPF muffler and the downpipe cat it now just has a straight through pipe up to the back box. you can remove the backbox too but I think it becomes quite "droney" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am often think of getting one of these (the E61 estate), what sort of cost was the DPF bypass pipe, and the remap? Hi mate yeah the estate is great too and so much space. The DPF twin delete pipe is around £180. As per pic below. This is the decat pipe, very well made.... https://ecotune-scotland.co.uk/files/large/9717947052c1ecb/ The remap, if done properly not just a plug n play chip, is around £250-£300 depending if you get the EGR delete done too.

ripped_fear Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Looking nice mate and some great figures for a big comfy daily. Can't wait to get one, your thread is a good encouragement to me to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Jamesy, did the service and other work you had done improve your mpg around town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Jamesy, did the service and other work you had done improve your mpg around town? Yes mate. I had new glow plugs fitted along with a full service. Also had the DPF pipe removed from the middle section and fitted a decat to the downpipe. With everything I'd say MPG gone up around 15% and performance through the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Fitted some new Mtec grooved discs last week as the old ones had some wobble. Went for grooved only as the drilled ones had mixed reviews. Stopping power much better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
