LOL. this was not really a planned mod, but the MHD system is stupid cheap and they offer a 1-2 'shift bog fix' and a 'linear throttle' remap that sounded like really good drivability fixes. so, like, the stage 1 tune was free...... so, like..... i couldn't just not do it.....

a coupla updates here, while i'm on my quarterly visit to the forum... :/
life is busy. house is on the market. we're planning to move to kitchener (ontario) when it sells, and my wife is going back to university. my daughter turned 15 (!). i bought a 2015 Golf for my wife... it's a great car. almost quit my job. went to mexico for a wedding, for a week and finally got to relax and spend some quality time with my wife - that was mega.
335i has been going OK, but it and my back have not been getting along. i installed lumbar in the stock seat, which has helped, but i'm still not comfy in it. not like an E46 4/5 door with M3 seats. the rest of the car is.... OK. i replaced a dying coilpack and a leaking charge pipe recently and the car is running better than ever - acceleration is (with MHD tune), really, so fast and smooth. almost.... too fast? it pulls to 180kmh way too easily. i really need to time it. i replaced both rear wheel bearings back in january-ish and one is dying again - WTFF. not looking forward to doing that job again, but i have to. oh, and it gets 30mpg on the highway. what a weird car.
