Hi guys, well today has been awesome! I've been to do a deal and put a deposit on this...

She's a 123D MSport with quite a few Performance Parts, the ones I've noticed so far:
•Brake Kit front and rear,
•Rear Spoiler,
•Front Splitters,
•Engine Strut Brace,
•Performance Front Bumper.

Overall she's really clean and the previous owner was obviously an enthusiast, she's got LCI rear lights and a Milltek Exhaust and also she's got Full BMW history which is nice. There's a few things that I want to do but I'll create a build thread for that and upload better photos once I've picked her up next weekend.

Thanks guys, I'm just going to give it a good clean and have a few things sorted out paint wise then go from there. I'm going to get it remapped then possible lower it slightly then put on some spacers or change the wheels completely I'm unsure yet.

Best course of action really. I waited a year until I remapped mine, and it was completely worth the wait. You will appreciate the difference a lot more... and the standard 123d is already a handful to get used to

The power seem progressive when I test drove it, which I like as I bought it to be a mile muncher. But coming from a Clio 182 it does seems a bit sedate, I'll see how I get on with it in standard guise it maybe remapped sooner than I think!

Well I went and collected her last night and drove home the 68miles and wow what a car! It just seems to do everything well, rides so comfy and the power just never seems to run out! Anyway I'll start a build thread and get some better photos on next week once I've given her a good clean.

And please take some advice and ignore bmw service intervals, lower them to 10k maximum and enjoy a long healthy bmw

Did the previous owner state it hadn't been mapped :?:

Cheers, yeah I'm going to it doesn't cost a lot to keep on top of oil changes but does cost a lot when something goes wrong!

Not what I know of, it certainly doesn't feel like it's been mapped!

Hope you're enjoying your 123d coupe mate! Such a lush colour too! I love my 123 but like you've been told previously....keep on top of the service intervals
