That price seems right, I just got a notification that Steve's Autoclinic in Durb's is offering a Uni-chip install and tune for R3500, a little bit far from you but just confirming your price.
Hi yes, the guy I got the quote from was at SAC in Port Elizabeth
As soon as I can find the time im going to go see them

Welcome Hennie.


Hey Vashan there are so many good tunes available but the rand/dollar sucks so be prepared to pay a hell of a lot of money for silly upgrades to be done. By the time you have done the upgrades you could've bought a c63. Sad but true. I mailed Kleeman SA for a supercharger a few months ago and wait.................R 130 000!

Hey Vashan Howsit man. You must be smoking some of that same grass as kleeman hahaha. Just kidding man. But seriously how on earth did you make that power at the wheels? I reckon that dyno needs a serious calibration. Stock the car makes 270kw at the crank. What mods you got to make that kind of power at the wheels? Nitrous?

Hi Vashan, where did you get your headers from and what did they cost?

I got a reference by a guy with an E 55 AMG that had headers and he said this place did it for him, I called the guy, Brian and he quoted me about 4,5k which is like $450 for the Americans which I think is a damn good price but unfortunately they don't make them in bulk so you must take your car to Durban to have it made.

Bmw 335i
Prospective C32 owner

My fellow Saffers​​​​​​

I am really keen on buying a C32.

I do 15km a day to and from work and will be using her daily.

I've seen one advertised:

Full service history with all books and spare key!
Serviced at agents till 120000kms
Both services thereafter recorded.
Proof of invoice for last service available which was done at 151000kms
260kw and 450nm
0-100kmh 5.2 seconds
Based in Johannesburg.

R119999

Please let me know your thoughts on

- Thee asking price.
- Suitability as a daily car.
- Good mechanics in Gauteng, preferably East Rand who could look after her for me.

Thank you.
