A mini - definately not, a 330d (saloon or estate), probably

to say the backseats and floor is cut out, to house Suzuki busa that takes it to 60 in less than 4secs, if you want to take camping gear,get a camper :thumbsup:

and thats what roof racks was made for :lol:

Get one shit picture but only one I have

what a lovely






puppy

Yes, picture is shit, but that dog looks awesome!

After the remap, 57mpg on long trips, 49 day to day and it drops to 37 when pushed. On the rolling road the it has 268 bhp but that isn't the magic number with these things. I'm not sure in metric but I now have 611nm of torque. That is just peak. On the peak curves as the power comes in earlier at some points it has more than 100bhp more, the torque is even more! It hasn't rained since the remap but I'm cacking it. This is my mid life crisis car and to be honest nobody needs something this quick. I've done it, had it and I think the next car will be a 2l diesel. The BMW 2l does 0 to 60 in 8.5 seconds which is more than fast enough and the economy will be fantastic. I'll remap that too as I haven't found a downside to it yet (waited till warranty finished first).

That bastard dog cost me £500 then when the kids came along the dog became pissed off and I gave it away!!
Didn't cost me as much as the BMW though I gave £18500 for it and got 15 grand back 12 months later !!!

Does your dog stick his head out from your Volvo, that's the picture to get. Wind in the ears etc.

Nice blue BMW though, subtle but let's you know it's good at what it does.

Should I get my t5 remapped? I hasn't got much traction from set off now but I've been told I can get 300bhp for £300?

For £300 yes. Although traction may be in issue, the in-gear acceleration will be unbelievable:thumbsup::thumbsup:

From a reputable firm why not. Is it front wheel drive? Could be an issue but not a deal breaker. You've got traction control I should think so probably fine. Don't know what it does to consumption in a petrol. Is it a power remap or a sort of balanced one (I went for the balanced one but could have gone mental on power if I wanted to however I like my clutch)

That's a power remap the focus has the same engine plent of torque but shreds the 18" rubber 270 bhp balanced remap

You had a scan through Volvo forums to read stuff from people who've done it? I spent an evening on the internet trying to find remap problems for the car, did the research and went from there. I think one potential issue might be the particle filter, but you can get them removed if needed, or it might not be an issue in the Volvos case.

But can the 330 do this??!

Right, just tried it, pressed every button and this is the best I can do.

I can see this is developing into top trumps here. If Chris56 was after an estate or a convertible it might even be relevant. I've got 4 12v/fag lighter sockets, how many have you got? This is a proper question.

I've only got 2 12v sockets mate one in the front one in the boot but I've got a dyn sound system 16 speaker pro logic 2 with sub woofer behind back seat factory standard £36.750 new !!!'

398bhp and 421lb/ft torque mines not standard but standard ones are usually about 290bhp for autos and 300 for manuals

16! I've got 13 but it's the Harmon Kardon Pro 7 BMW option system, 2 subwoofers, 1 under each front seat. Separate CD and DVD in the front and multichanger in the back. 16 is impressive though. All in including options, which on a BMW really add up, it comes to a bit more than £36,750 but we're both happy that we didn't have to pay those prices. Best way to go is to buy a 3 to 5 year old quality car. Can't go wrong.

16 feckin speakers!!!

Shit me my stereo sounds awesome with 6 and a sub!
