BMW Performance upgrade - update ?

Anyone in the UK heard anything more on this yet ?
My dealer said in June about 3 months ago and now they say try again in July.

They have no info about it or even that it exists. I'm sure they think I am making it up

I know there are a few waiting for this but not sure what the delay is???

I'm just wondering if they are having second thoughts to release it as a new single (twin scroll) turbo 35i engine will be coming out soon to replace the twin turbo model?

Ive heard about that engine as well although i think both wil happen somewhere in the timeline. Why not just get the evolve remap and then get the extra cooling by bmw added later on if you really want it?

Have you chaps seen this?

Looks like this will be the only option for me now if it does come out. Just not sure I can justify the cost for the tiny power gain.

I know a few remap specialists in the UK that will not touch the 135i now because of the issues in the link i have posted. It is very real.

That's so tempting, but I do wonder about the clutch, gearbox and internal running at 400BHP.......

I think 350-370 would be the limit without at least upgrading the clutch.

Anyway, how much is it to get a clutch fitted on one of these 135i's ?

I think it's a given norm that any re-map is traceable if BMW really want to look for it so I'm not sure if that info in the thread really makes a difference, unless the new ECU will flag up "Remap" during any electronic BMW diagnostics.

Maybe........I am still so tempted with the Evole tune. Imran has said they can do a 375 version for me if I want But I will be waiting for news and price on the BWM one first and then decide.
