hi cruvon, as far as I know, T Stands for temporary registration number...

taranonline · 23rd June 2011, 11:58

Time for update.

Car has complete 34000 Km in less than a year.

Last service was done at 30K km's costing Rs 27K. Ouch
Changed
Motor Oil
Oil filter
Air Filter
AC Filter

Nothing fancy no car wash, no wheel balancing / alignment. Just the above.

Replaced tyres at 34K. Rear one busted in the city.
New tyre size
265/35/18
235/40/18

Got brake pad set from Tisher BMW so can replace them anytime.
Other than this there is no problem with the car. However there is a little whine from the factory radio.. reported it last time at service however didnt get resolved.

Akshay1234 · 23rd June 2011, 12:07

Why would you put 265s on a 180bhp car? I mean your slowing the car down.

taranonline · 23rd June 2011, 12:44

Thank you for you replying.. I still have wheel spin sometimes. and not at all... everyone at the bimmerpost forum reccommend this upgrade. Car is much smoother now.

And the tires are Yoko Advan and costed 54K.

Sahil · 23rd June 2011, 13:32

How are the advan sport compared to primacy hp?

taranonline · 23rd June 2011, 13:36

Well i have never tried primacy so cant comment however I must say the tires are nice.

Wow. Man with 225s on my Accord V6 I hardly get wheelspin now. Cant imagine the grip with 265.

taranonline · 23rd June 2011, 22:22

I think its due to more weight at the front tires. Thats why you have such a nice Dyno stats.

Throw in some FFE to have a bit more fun. Cheers

I have done coding in my car:

So Now I have
1. Closing of ORVM on lock and auto opening on unlock
2. Angel Eyes as DRL
3. No driver seat belt chime
4. BMW M3 like speed display on screen

Heres my car. Rims painted same colour as our M3(red with grey rims). Its remapped by Kiirus from 177bhp to 208bhp and the power is become crazy. Brake calipers painted yellow. Up sized the rear tires to 225/50 from 205/55.

Also would like to ask you a few questions.

How did you do the coding? I want to keep my Angel Lights as daytime running and also auto close ovrms.

How much did you pay for the performance kit? (Bumpers + rear spoiler)

Akshay1234 · 6th July 2011, 12:40

Looks good indra. I remember seeing your car outside Mambos, in May. You should change the angel eyes to white, it will look much better.

BMW Coding Forum check here.

Yes I bought the cable and hooked my car to a Windows Laptop. Peace of pie.

where did you order it from ebay or one of the website suggested cable's for coding ? A lot of material seems to be available to code the E90, however there seems to be next to nothing available to code the X1.Any place you could suggest via PM.Do you think coding would void the BSI?

How come the car is still running on temporary plates. What happened to the PJO 3 number?
BTW doesn't re-mapping void the warranty.
