Acs Springs and Bhp remap Booked in.

happycow6171 · 12-14-2016, 09:01 AM

Have booked my March 14 335d touring into Stourbridge automotive for acs springs and Bhp remap,Claimed gains are modest 370 bhp and 690nm.
Didn't want to go over gearbox figure of 700nm.
this all came about after visiting my local dealer and considering a px to 340i and was offered a derisory amount to change.
So if all works out should fee like picking up a new car again.

ACS springs make a big difference

F15CCT · 12-14-2016, 10:01 AM

How much have you paid for the springs fitted out of interest? I've got one quote and waiting in another.

happycow6171 · 12-14-2016, 10:15 AM

Fitted £638 including vat,Remap £499

Ajs_435d · 12-14-2016, 10:46 AM

Nice, you know that box is fitted to the new jag and its 700nm generally there a tolerance -/+ 10 pc, but I'm 371 bhp and 550 lb ft.

Did that price also include alignment adjustment? I'm sourcing a few quotes for the springs myself at the moment.

Try Dacks in Lincoln, paid just shy of £600 for ACS with hunter realignment 👍

Ti Rich · 12-15-2016, 03:49 AM

I guess that is the old Chemix place. They did the alignment on my E90 330D and they did a great job. Car felt significantly better after.

Good luck!

Stourbridge Automotive are on your doorstep and have fitted many AC Schnitzer spring kits. Speak to Neil or Kay there for a price.

Hi Lorcan, are R tech designs no longer an approved fitter? Been trying get a quote out of them for over a week but I see there not on your list?

That's why they're not on our list...

They will do them sometimes but I think they just get too busy. Your best bet is to speak to Ron there, or use Mulgari in Bracknell.

Px offers are always derisory, if they're not then you're overpaying for the car you're buying.

Why not not sell it yourself and buy what you want? Plenty of pre reg 340i's out there, so no need to be stuck without a car when yours goes.

happycow6171 · 12-18-2016, 06:03 AM

fair point,but my 335d has a massive spec and I'm looking forward to 0-60s in 4.5 secs if needed plus genuine 40 mpg on mixed driving,
