Black GT-CX sold out. Only anthracite available!



I think the ones on Orrie's 325i are anthracite as well.

I've read good reviews about Cobb. It's going to be my choice if I decide to tune my car.

I don't care which tune you get but if you don't get one you have to change your name to Derrick

I didn't get it...

As I've been driving my car for over a month now, I feel like it won't hurt to have a bit of extra power...

I hope no one still remembers the Viagra comparison....

Anyone in Sydney with a Cobb tune who is willing to meet up for a demo?... Coffee is on me...

Not getting mine, fwiw I still got a box in the hall full of goodies that arrived before Xmas that I haven't gotten around to installing.

Mind you with all the big single developments by shiv I might have a few bit FS :-)

if that includes downpipes let me know! i'll be happy to take them off your hands

i think we're all going to see an influx of new members once people figure out the n54 works well as a single turbo set up. no more 2 jay z jokes, we're gonna need something new lol

The single turbo looks good for big peak numbers but as for driveability/low down torque/quarter mile times I think we have to wait and see...

Bang for buck, I can't think of anything better than N54 + Tune + Meth + DPs

Oh and Moe, I'm happy to lend you a JB4 for a week or so, see how you like it

Yes Mo"s car holds the record for a stock N54 auto at Advan, but took a few runs to sort it self out. think i did around 5 runs, As with all autos we use 4th gear and 6500rpm. we find that most are around 185-200 so Mo has a strong car just needs a few mods

Maybe it already has a mild flash tune.. Otherwise you have no excuses to not mod this baby. You have a natural head start with power!

Mods i'm thinking of:
1. Black wheels.
2. Aero front lip.
3. Gloss black grills.
4. Black exhaust tips.

I appreciate your help regarding the best places to order these things from. I used the search but I was wondering if there are any updated information.

More pics coming soon...

Congrats - nice buy
