It's BMW language for "facelift". I think it stands for Life Cycle Impulse.

No, you have a Golf R for that

You are right, that does help!

More frequent adrenalin rushes, now that is true.

Is that the "little blue pill" to go with the little blue car? No point being "all show and no go" lol! ;-)

Tom,

It's strange,but putting that "little blue pill" in the Golf R fuel tank, transforms it into a heavy breathing 400bhp Estate.(Just what you aspire to ,as a replacement for the wife' Fabia vRS MK2 Estate)

You should try it,it could transform your M135i into a stretched limo with even firmer suspension.

You may have to watch out for Amanda's tail end wiggle, that she outlined in the GOLF R thread though. Could cause an injury!

Who needs VW or Oettinger or EVEN Redex(Remember that )

Love thinking outside the BOX!

Should you need a low cost supply,I believe George can help you out, when you meet up at Santa Pod later in the year.

Ello Tom

 

This is a screen grab of something coming my way (almost 'on topic)

Amanda,

I want for the Oyster leather/Satin trim and Piano black finishers, as I figured having had countless cars with black buttons on black dashboards in black interiors in black cars (that light up black, to quote the Hitchhikers Guide) I didn't want to drive around like a troglodyte in a cave for the next few years

I really like the Oyster interior, very classy.

Personally I can't get enough of the pornstar-spec red leather on mine tho lol :-)

Not my particular fav Tom.

However, I hope that you are laden with the appropriate weighty bling and that is matched with Beckham like tattoo .

The best seats I have sat in recently were the AMG ones in a Merc GLA A45. Superb. Even better than the high end sports seats I've sat on, in a TTS (I think they were an upgrade and possibly Recaros?)

Conservative on the outside and bling on the inside is how I like it hehe.

The red adds some much needed splash of colour imho. Works well with the grey paint. :-)

Sadly I have to say I can't pull off the tattoo and medallion look tho..,,

When I think back, most of the best seats I have sat in were Recardos Although the seats in my Strada Abarth 130C were hard to beat (or get in to the back of the car as they fouled the roof when you tipped them forward )

These seats will do me ,as well as the surrounding metalwork.

They look superb  I love alcantara middles with leather outers. My last 2 cars have had that combo

Wow didn't realise these are 320bhp, had a play with a 64 plate one these the other night in the vRS and I was keeping with him haha.

 

They are really nice looking motors, I thought about getting rid of the Fabia for a 1 series last year but decided against it and spent a load of cash on mine instead.

They fit like a glove. Shame the dashboard looks so tacky :(

I like quite a lot about the A45 range, but all the switchgear is the same as in my Merc and the sat nav screen looks like a mid range TomTom glued on to the dash. I'd take your R over the A45,Keith even if it isn't as quick in a straight line (not much is mind ).

Yes  but I think you would want more power if it tames the BHPs it's already got The 335D is at least as fast and that's 4x4. A couple of guys over at one of the BMW forums reckon they 'track' well too
