Re: Any new 116i owners?)
Yea....I keeping everything crossed. I will have to let go of my current ride by 29 Feb latest so if this round of COE is not successful, I'm screwed big time.
Who's your SE and what colour did you take?

Maybe we will collect the ride at the same time...

I'm already getting quotes for Leather upholstery and hope to get my SE to do it before collection. I will update all on the price, may be can get cheaper with 3 or more orders. Anyone else interested?
Apparently there is no piggy back option for F20 block at this moment, looks like we got to wait for while before we can unleash the beast within.

I definitely dun mind a GB

Re: Any new 116i owners?)
I have not heard anything from my SE yet, he is John. Initial indication shows that the COE was successful for me too but he was also not sure yet as the system was not updated at that point.
I hope to collect my car as early as possible like mid next week coz I have already sold my ride and new buyer wants it by next week too.

Enjoy stock first, at 136bhp/220nm the power delivery is quite impressive as compared to the VW TSI 122bhp/240nm moreover the piggy back for this F20 block is not ready therefore the risk is up to you whether you want to go for direct ECU mapping.
Yes GB is definitely a must otherwise it could be expensive. U want to do upholstery too? Dakota leather for seats and door panel is approx 2.3k, maybe GB for 3 or more maybe cheaper. Interested?

Can update me on that?
oh ya! my SE is Pam and my car is mineral white

Re: Any new 116i owners?)
Totally second to your comment on the piggy back. I will not go for direct dyne ECU mapping. 116i and 118i uses this ECU that is just a chip that can be plugged in or out, instantly changing the bhp/torque. I already made enquiry on that, and will wait till they can do it.. right now, the shop can't.. (juzzforcars)
and for upholstery, I am interested to change. but hopefully it is cheaper than 2.3k... therefore, I will be looking at GB instead. u want to set up GB for that?

Re: Any new 116i owners?)
When I get the confirm figures of the upholstery and if the shop agrees, I will initial a group buy. Like you, not quite keen at 2.3k too...unless it's Napa leather :woowooo:
Why J4C? U used them before?

Tks bro seb I'm also hoping that after all this time, the end product (when it finally hatches) will be worth the wait!
I'll know if the number bidding exercise was successful or not, by tomorrow... So , that's another small piece of the puzzle that should be falling into place.
