Mod list so far now:

- 12mm and 15mm Eibach Spacers
- Celtic Tuning Remap
- Maxton front splitter
- Maxton side blades
- Maxton side rear diffuser/blades
- M style double slat grill
- De-chrome door handle trim
- De-chrome wing/fender trim
- 4" Exhaust Tips

Pleased with the progress so far

You mentioned you bought it under uk AUC. Since you have remapped it have you gone in for anny warrenty work.. do you plan to re chrome the small m badges on wings ?


I bought my 640d in November and brought it back to dublin.

Really paranoid about the AUC and modifying the car. Dealers will use any excuse not to stand over it
Hi,

I had really thought about the wing m badges! Good shout.

As for warranty work - The car has been in several times for vibration issues, the master tech has drove the car several times too. No issues. Just waiting for my wheel replacement now when all this crisis is over.

There is a post on here somewhere where someone rempapped their car and asked BMW FS if it was allowed. They were told that it was fine aslong as the car was put back to standard once it was due to be handed back. Mine is not on PCP so that doesn't apply. Same goes for servicing. You can get it serviced elsewhere, but keep your warranty intact, they need to use BMW genuine parts. Just means you won't have FBMWSH... just FSH.

So far I have had no issues with the remap. The N57 is used across many models and I think the tuners out there have kind of mastered it. I went to Celtic Tuning as they have done many 335d's, 435d's and 535d's. This gave me comfort in my decision. Plus they came highly recommended on this forum.
