Hi all

I found this on eBay...
I've asked the seller where he had the engine 'upgraded'!
Also a Harmon Kardon upgrade?!
75MPG?!
Nice Alloys though, possibly the best I've ever seen on an R56!

I received a response from the seller this morning:

it was done at a bosh service centre ,Â£200 ish ,but the power midrange is fantastic

So there you go, just find your nearest "bosh" service centre and you're rolling!

That's not much dosh for a bosh.

Or has he installed a washing machine engine?

Agreed! sounds like a load of Tosh actually!

Imagine a buyer viewing it asking the same question, you wouldn't feel very happy paying Â£18k to get a car thats gone through a Bish-bash-bosh service centre

Is the waiting list really 5 months for the CD?

Ive posted that Dooper somewhere, but I can't remember where, so thanks for bringing it up!! It was on Pistonheads though, it has a very poor spec.

At least somebody is awake

popey, I thought HK did the upgrade - I can now see why it is no longer the Harman Kardon upgrade. Must be ashamed to have their name plastered on it from what I have heard.
