Fitted last Friday. Have waited a few days before posting a review.

All i can say is wow !
When people say BMW have strangled the 1.9 engine, i now believe.
First i noticed was the throttle response, it was instant. Next i was listening out for the sound,
but being in traffic this was not so apparent, yet.

Traveling back to Folkestone from my Boat fishing trip, there was no traffic, so was
able to slow and drop into 3rd and gun it through the empty roundhill tunnel.

Wooow 4000 - 4500 RPM, most excellent.

Have also been enjoying squirting the pedal as you go past a high wall or hedge ;) Most excellent !

My 4 pot has turned into a 6 pot, it is so smooth. I am not going to claim extra BHP
but damn, does seem that its gained more than a hand full :)

Pipercross Venom. 10/10

More than 10 x expectation so well 'appy.

Always good to get some feedback on stuff like this. Had several now on different BMW engines so a convert to them. Funny how it was when I used to mock my nephews who had them fitted - but that was on their Fiestas and Corsas :whistle:.
