I have a Leon 184 DSG and I went straight for a REVO map. Works well.a MK7 GTD did 230+bhp and 360+lbft on the dyno at Statller with just the map. :happy2:

Just got a GTD 3 weeks ago after having a MKV GTI and then a MK7 2.0 TDI. Really impressed with the drive and the power really is the best of both worlds. Only 500 miles in so hoping for the MPG to go up a bit with a few more miles under the belt.

So after 19-months and 37,000 miles I'm now parting ways with the GTD. Definitely the longest I've kept and most mileage I've done in one car! I've decided to replace it with a BMW M135i which is the first non-VAG car I've owned. Did toy with going for a Mk7 R or Audi S3 but decided I fancied something completely different.

This one is 3-years old with 18,000 miles. Lovely spec for anyone that knows BMWs with the ZF8 Auto, Pro Nav, HK Audio and Adaptive M Suspension. It's also had the M Performance exhaust fitted which makes it sound epic  :grin:



The GTD has been a decent all rounder but I'm doing much less mileage these days so don't need a diesel anymore. It's got through a set of front tyres, needed one service and had a few minor warranty bits but nothing out the ordinary. The next service is due in 500 miles so got my timing right lol.

Solid car to a very solid car IMO  :happy2:

I've just jumped from A3 to 430d M sport too, you've done well with the spec on the 35' dude. Enjoy it!

I like the fact the M135i will be a car you'll have to think about before pushing on, requires skill  :evilgrin: It's certainly a "get-it-wrong-and-it'll-kill-you' car  :evilgrin:

Look forward to updates... You on any BM forums? Make sure you do a build thread of sorts on here, I'll start one soon  :driver:
