Im currently a bit busy and outside the city right now but i can give you quick information about the wheel. It has three modes on it; ECO, SPORT and RACE. In eco mode it shows the average consumption, velocity and water&oil temp. in the screen. You can switch by pressing the left button. There is no shifting light in this mode even if you hit 6500 rpm. There is only a little green light appears when you get over 'economic' rpms. Then it goes off again.

In sport mode, you see water&oil temp. and g-force meters on the screen. And the shifting lights only works after the rpm you set on the settings. You can set it to any rpm you want. Mine for example is set to 6500 so i have no lights during normal driving. I only see them after 5500 rpm. Goes from green to flashing red.

In race mode, you still have the temperatures and in addition, you got 0-100 kmh time and lap times for track driving. Shifting light is the same with sport mode.

Regardless of what i wrote, the wheel works independent from the car. It doesnt turn on when you start the engine. You have to turn the wheel on by pressing two buttons at the same time. So if you dont feel like having a light in front of you, you just keep it off. And if you turn it on and drive, the screen will go off after several minutes and stay off until you press any button.

I think you wont regret if you buy the wheel. Hope this helps

selçukdal can you please enlighten me if how you did the downpipe (the diameter, the amount of cencors on it) and if there are any warning lights and error messages?

And i do hear (and got confirmation from people i know) that Borusan searches thru forums to see who made modifications and they can void your warranty. And no i am not crazy. But you know how bad Turkish BMW dealer/service is.

Regards
Yes there is error light and if only you tune the engine, that light will turn of.

Can you guys recommend any chips or any other tuning programs? These are the photos of my F20 by the way. Thank you guys
i have the 116i with prokit springs and the m performance brakes. they are essentially the same as the m sport brakes abeit a slightly larger rotor and the rotor is dimpled/slotted. i wasnt able to get the m sport brakes from my dealer as it is only an option with the m sport kit, and i didnt get the kit. i opted for the m perf brakes to prevent potential warranty issues with my dealer.

it bites pretty well, but not quite as hard as i would have liked. i was previously using the ap racing 5570 on my previous car.
