Thumbs up Got my Digi-Tec tuning today

Just got back from Digi-Tec and I am very impressed with the job they did, 210 bhp but most important, much more torque in the lower revs. My MCS already starts really pulling from 1500 revs. They instructed me to not put the pedal to the metal the first 400 km, but there just no need to get above 3000 rpm (until I get more used to it anyway ) I haven't done any freeway driving with it.

I also got a 'green' air filter and 33% (maximum alowed by law here) window tinting of the door windows because tinting of the back windows was already fitted from factory. It looks much better now although I haven't seen it by full daylight because it was already getting dark. Maybe i'll post some pictures of my Electric Blue MCS if there is some interest.

I also heard very interesting stories why one shouldn't buy a 2002 Electric Blue MCS for too much money, and why there were so many failing MCS's in Germany around january 2003 at the first temperature drop to about 7 degrees centigrade. Even MCS's with big holes in their piston(s)! If there's interest I'll post it in a seperate thread because this one is getting too long. It has to do with faulty Bosch spark plugs fitted by BMW. The Cooper S got special spark plugs after that.
