Picked up this yesterday, from Nottingham 140ps GT TDI NAV with DCC.... 61 mpg on return journey home. Had a boost leak from where new turbo fitted, turbo muffler seal was missing! Has a dent on bonnet, no AC and the locking wheel nut key is missing. Other than that it's a nice car to drive. Will remap, and lower it on H&R or Eibach springs. Have coded out the ESP/ASR function so 5 sec press turns everything off as per BMW. Coded the RNS510 to allow NAV functions up to 60 km/h, and messed about with some of the lighting functions. Used OBD eleven pro. Nice handling car for stock, pity it has budget sh*te tyres on 235/40x18 - will get some new ones on the front at least AsAP.
I’m surprised, I have driven a few R’s and they’re awful cars to drive imo. I’d have the ED30 personally Still, I hope you enjoy it. Can’t beat TDI fuel economy for sure.
I'm doing more miles and mid 20s mpg from the Edition 30 is not good for the bank balance, even caning about on B roads the TDI is doing 40mpg at least and 60 on a run st 55-60mph....
Whilst it was jacked up yesterday I had a look around and found causing of a rattle going over manhole covers, the NSR bump stop is perished and the shock cover is just floating in mid air... Going to put a pair on and H&R lowering springs.
