New to the 1M why the 135 mid pipe ?
does it make that power just with a re map ?
can bmw tell its been mapped ?

The 135i has a different cat layout. If you fit the 135i mid pipe it deletes the pre cats, ads a slightly throatier exhaust note and is obviously more free flowing= more power available. Coupled with the catless down pipes their is no point replacing the rear exhaust section (except for noise- what the aftermarket back boxes gain in hp, they loose in lbft)

When my mods were completed, mine was the most powerful 1M around back in 2012.
it was mag featured in performance bmw twice..

The spec R intercooler is the reason mine made so much power after Ray West re mapped it.( cant recommend Westtuning highly enough-great guy with a wealth of knowledge and racing pedegree)

The Spec R hardpipes were necessary as mine used to crack the oem chargepipe even when standard. I went through BMW's uk supply in 2012 lol.
I Think it had 6 oem replacements under warranty.

Even if you intend to keep the car standard i would recommend getting a decent geometry set up done as the bmw settings arent great.
Ray also set mine up before the kwv3's were added and the difference in rear end grip was night and day.

Any info you need feel free to ask as i tried a few different set ups before settling for how it is now.
Bbk is next on the list but with Carbotech xp12s alround it does ok on track for now.


bmw can tell if it re mapped but you can have it reflashed before taking it there...

Mark, my old 1M had a DMS remap (415/475) and I had a boost issue once and took it to the dealer without having the map removed as DMS assured me it wouldn't be found. It was nervous sphincter time especially as they were investigating a boost issue.....

Nothing detected though on the map and problem identified as a vacuum hose which was duly rectified - happy days.

I have no doubt that if there was a major failure and the ECU needed in depth interrogation then it could have been found, but for servicing and even investigating a boost issue it was fine.

How was the car after the map terry ?
Is it expensive to map and did you need any add ons to make this power

did you have any issues with the car in the time you owned it ?

Managed to prise the wife out of the 1M today and met up with a friend to see his new GTS. The Porker is a fantastic car and sounded wicked but not sure it's 60k more car than the 1M. He was shocked how good it was when I took him out for a blast.
