Thanks for your post...very helpful. Yep, I forgot to mention that it's had oil+filter changes in between services too. I've heard of Waxoyl(ing) but thought that was best for older stuff e.g. 993s etc...will ask about that.

Hi everyone. I was wondering whether anyone has any recommendations for undertaking some additional work alongside the LongLife Service my MY07 8P2 3.2 S tronic is due? It is at 55k/4yrs old. All standard + KW V3. It had Spark Plugs, Haldex Oil and Filter and DSG Oil and Filter, Brake...

Lovely car. Health to drive.

http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ in Manchester quoted £440 for my Calitos...got them replaced under warranty in the end.

tis the only way of dialling out the understeer.:uhm:

Red-line everytime

And the G8yman is equally good:)

I've found Macclesfield Audi to be good.

BBS Calito? I've had two sets replaced under warranty....it's the Milkyway wheel.

I get through to 3mm in 8k miles or so and then replace them (Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 235/40/18) A full alignment including proper corner weighting @ http://www.centergravity.co.uk/ might help. Tyre pressure is important imo. I run 44psi all-round.

Mine are set on (3.2) Both axles: Rebound [3 clicks open/ 0.5 turn open] Bump [1 turn open] I had mine setup at PSI Tuning, Andy spent a lot of time trying to get it spot on, and did a great job. (I had a shocking install experience by a firm that supposedly takes tuning seriously)...

Have they appreciated? I paid £1600 fitted for BBS CH ET 35 with 235/35/19/91Y Michelin Pilot Sport 2

I had mine done recently.....£110

If I had an 8P S3, it'd have the MTM map.

I tried the 8P2 3.2 and 8P2 S3 when buying two years ago. List price in Sept 07 for the 8P2 3.2 S line S tronic was £28820, 8P2 S3 manual £26995 (now about £28900 for 8P2 S3 S tronic). The 3.2 sounded a lot better and throttle response was sharper imo....although the S3 is sharper dynamically.

I have KW V3. Absolutely brilliant when setup correctly....i.e. more comfortable than stock Sh1tline and much better dynamics. http://www.centergravity.co.uk/ probably the best for setup.

O2 sensor? A sensor in the exhaust- inlet manifold?

It'll be a fantastic car, with similar straight line pace to E90 M3/ E60 M5/997S/RS4/R8 V8 etc....and scary cross-country pace. A few months ago £40k would get you into a properly specified pre-registered E90 M3.

I got a price from DPM a while back I think. I'd go with KW V3 or maybe Intrax if budget isn't a concern. I was only refering to the driving dynamics of the 130i- the facelift E87.2 has a reasonable interior, but it remains pretty lame I agree

It's a great car....understeery yes, but relatively quick and safe. It's not a dynamically pure and rewarding car a la E87 130i, but A-B pace is impressive. Factory S line suspension is utterly sh!te, so Koni FSD-Eibach Pro-Kit or KW V3. Brakes are over-servo'd but very strong (bigger and...
