Hi Folks...Greetings from Mike

Hi Folks,

Great to be part for the BMW family.

I am a first time BMW owner. Just got a LCI F30 318i 2 weeks ago.

Hope to learn the tips and trick on how to keep the ride in its best condition.

Thanks.

Hello Mike

I have the LCI 318i too. Went to have the ECU tuned and probably added 30 Hp and 60 nm. Now the sports meter shows the torque indicator flat against the 280 nm mark. Probably closer to 300 nm. Previously I never even seen it hit 240 nm. Of course this can affect your warranty. So be clear about this. Also I had used BimmerCode to revise the Stop/Start off by default. This is the one that irritates me most. Also recoded the digital speed readout and automatic folding door mirror with door lock. Had the grill changed to the black diamond cut version, ordered from AliExpress. So everything looks good. Regards Colin

Nice. Did you do the Bimmercode yourselves or you got others to do it for you?
Ya...my thought so too. The Auto Start/Stop is indeed irritating.
