    BMW M135i to S3 Saloon?

    If I do decide to get rid of my 1 series, I am reluctant to go for another BMW as that would be my 3rd in a row but it would mean I could keep that engine. Decisions decisions.

    BMW M135i to S3 Saloon?

    Hi, thanks for the reply, you are right about the BMW and the scary moments and my wife really doesn't enjoy driving it in anything other than the dry for this reason. The boot on the saloon is actually a good size having tried all our stuff in there yesterday and with being freakishly tall I...

    S3 Paint correction

    Ive had my S3 since the end of 2012, and i loved it to bits to drive, but the paintwork was really annoying me. I knew when i bought it it wasnt perfect but for the miles etc it was a good price so i factored in the price of a full paint correction and have been waiting for the nice weather to...

    S3 downpipe

    Thanks for the idea, I rang my local dealer and he quoted me £450 for 3" turbo back system which seems a very good price, I would like to see some reviews on the quality of his work though as it seems with powerflow every branch is different obviously dependent on who makes it so I will have a...

    S3 downpipe

    Sorry, i did have a brief search. I appreciate its a premium hot hatch, buts its still only a piece of stainless steel. Just the way of the world i guess. It was booked in for a remap but its now going to go stage 2 straight away save getting it remapped again in the near future, should be done...

    S3 downpipe

    Hi guys, I am after a full stainless exhaust system for my S3 including downpipe. Why is it though that the downpipes are so expensive? I can't find anything for less than £300, yet for an 8L S3 stainless downpipe you can pick them up new from £100. I had a focus ST before this and again no...

    S3 Wanted...

    I bought mine recently from a dealer, 07, 39k, FASH, Camblet done, and 2 years free servicing. With it being from the dealer you also get the warranty for 12 months which was a biggy for me. I paid 13,250 which i thought was pretty good going.

    Audi manchester and free servicing!!!!!!

    The dealership does make money. Audi UK pay them so thats not an issue, and if anything they will pick up up more potential problems so they can make even more money, as you might not take it to them after the two years?

    Midlands Rolling Road Day

    Hi, im new here and would be up for a rolling road day, i can also make most weekends. Wouldnt it make more sense though to find a 4wd dyno? It would surely create more interest? Ive been to 2 different 4wd RR in the midlands myself in the past so they are there. I will come either way but if...
