There's 4 weeks left till UK2 & we're now listed on the forum's 'Upcoming events', so I thought I'd lay down a 'plan of attack', as it were:
It would be helpful if we could get the '?'s filled in with names, please! The number of members wanting to have the re-map will affect everyone's timing for things to do over the rest of the day, so we MUST sort this out first, please. So, if you want the re-map, please say so, be prepared to pay a deposit (I think it should be non-refundable, so you do turn up!) & say by whom you want it carried out (DMS or e-maps). So far, BMW Customer Services & Marketing are playing 'ignorant' monkeys, so I'll shake their cage once more, on Tuesday. All the best. Viv

"Right Guys, down to the nitty gritty!!! Simon has been in touch, if we can get 5 together at the same location at approx 1 hour intervals he will re-map turbos for £250 and non turbos for £150" See here :- http://www.bmwland.co.uk/talker/view...32034&start=15 Thats £50 less than you were quoted - room for improvement?? The DMS price is good but can't justify that kind of dosh for an extra 10hp over the emap! Simon gets a very good writeup - supposed to be a top bloke.

I'll give Simon a call tomorrow, quoting that group deal & see if he'll match or better it, ok! I'd be far happier paying £150! Viv |

I've just spoken to Simon at e-maps & unfortunately he told me he's got the dates for moving house, & it's on the weekend of the meet, so he's not going to be able to make it.
He took my details to let me know if anything changes, though. He said the reason the price for the Machester group buy was £50 less than for us next month, was because that was the price he's done for a while, but he's had to put his prices up now. :mad: So, I'm afraid e-maps are probably not going to be available to do the re-mapping on Sept 23rd. That leaves the more expensive DMS available, unless anyone knows of any other potential tuners?! I myself will say 'no' to the tuning of my 330i petrol, based solely on the (DMS) cost & a lack of evidence of benefits. I rang BMW Customer Services again today & they are as hopeless as ever- they won't let me contact Marketing directly & expect me to wait for them to get in touch with me, whenever that might be, if at all. I'm afriad it's p*ssing me right off now (my words, not Gordon's)! All the best. Viv |

How long will you guys be at Donington Park? I just heard from my dealer that my Coupe is a week ahead of schedule and depending on how long its held back, I might get it on the 23rd now....
Donington could be a great run-in opportunity, although I've no idea how long it'd take to get there from Bristol.

Seriously, it's 127miles from Bristol, so will take about 2hours- have a look here. We had a great time going for a 'drive in the country' last time, after having a photo & video shoot at Donington. I was thinking of a drive towards Sherwood Forest in the afternoon & a curry somewhere in Nottingham, early in the evening. Viv

That all sounds pretty cool. Thanks for the map, its closer than I thought, I do the birmingham run quite regularly, so should be a fun drive. I'll find out for sure on the 21st at a local BMW launch event, so if I can get it Saturday morning, I'll come up and meet you guys, especially if theres curry to be had. I'll bring the camera too.

For a moment there I didnt realise that was a photoshop, and thought I'd missed a UK picture of an E92!
Dont worry, I'm doing my damndest to get the car, I'm bugging my dealer constantly for updates so its in his interest to get me in the car and out of his hair asap. Its all down to this withholding they do, were they dont ship the car to the dealer too soon before the launch, even though it'll be built in plenty of time. I cant stand the wait either. It's nuts, I'm 35 but I still feel like a kid who's stuck in the groundhog day equavalent of Christmas Eve.

I hope that the cat does arrive early E92-Mark... the wait must be agonising by now.
Donington is a real easy run from down Bristol way... Up the M5, round the M42 and onto the A42 until you're a couple of miles from Donington. Can't remember how long it took me last time.. though I do remember the mpg peaking at 60.6 Was down the dealer again today for them to swap the CD changer as various singers had developed a stutter, and there were about ten E90's and an E91 sat there with 56 plates on . There was also a Z4 coupe in yellow Beautiful car, but the colour They also had a rather tidy silver grey M6 in the showroom as well. Back to dreaming for now

I agree the wait is killing me as well....not helped my running the wifes 51 plate Golf 1.6 for three months. As my other post mentioned I saw a Montego blue E92 335 yesterday on the A45 in Northampton. I am sure that must have been be a press car maybe coming back from Rockingham?
