For all the fancy cars out there, you can't beat the look on a middle age mans face in his 911 turbo when I destroy him out of the lights

great car - all it needs is a trip to DMS Automotive in Southampton to realise its potential - best money you can spend on it as it will transform its driveabilty and increase fuel economy

About £400 and there is no way that the BMW dealership could tell I don't think.
I had my last two BMW's mapped and it is really worthwhile. Both were lease cars under BMW warranty, both serviced by main dealers and they never knew it had been done, or if they did, they never mentioned it.

They have got a lot smarter recently, I would speak to BMW and see if they do a performance pack. Heard some horror stories of BMW not covering work after they found aftermarket maps on their ECU.
you are right though snelly, 99% of the time you will be fine, but the law of the sod can not be ignored!
I had mine done by a chap in walsall, highly recomended by the BMW online geeks http://www.e-maps.co.uk/ (As are DMS by the way!! very well regarded, but expensive!)

I have got a meeting (work related) arranged at Rolls Royce Motor Cars next month and to prepare, I have been doing a bit of research. That is when I started to read about the Wraith! I want one! Even more than I want a Ferrari FF I think.
There is a good write up here and some nice pictures. What a beautiful thing the Wraith is and it is made in Sussex too! Just sublime.

The wraith has been at the top of my list for ages. Trouble is, the Mrs won't agree to selling the house to fund it.

My friend has an SLK55 and he drove past Goodwood the other day. On a dual carriageway, he was level with a Wraith that was on test and he put the hammer down. His car is no slouch but he just laughed as the Wraith roared into life and disappeared down the road. He wants one too. Quite steep though at £235K!

What a beautiful looking car Snelly!
Tell you what, next time there is a Forum meet that we are both attending, I'll come and pick you up, (as I did at the Blackmoor meet a few years ago) and hope and pray that you will say as you did then, "Shall we go in my car?".

You might change your mind if you knew that one of your 'favourite sort of people' (well he claims Romany ancestry) who lives in a rather well lit and tastelessly (imo) presented semi-palace, complete with fountain, near (and he's a member of) the 'pay and play' down the road from your favourite club has one - or at least has been seen about in one.
