Hi guys,

Im going to purchase a f20 soon and had one question about the nav screen. Is it possible to upgrade the nav to professional? The other series needs only a cable and the screen itself, pretty easy

if you are talking about NBT (the one with 8.8" screen), you are going to have to change its unit behind the climate control, your screen , and your controller.
In addition, you will need to get it coded to your VIN

What?! That will cost atleast thousand euros. Others have done it in plug and play style. I geuss I will have to look for one with the 8.8" option..

Also I wonder, does all of you guys have the M bumpers original or aftermarket(same material)? Original is pretty rare to find so im thinking about a 116i chiptuning to 118i level, custom double exhaust(left and right single) and the M bumpers aftermarket.

yeah probably going for a one with NBT option would be better. It includes a head unit with 200gb harddisk (180gb for maps, apps etc and 20gb for your personal data, music, and videos) and it improves the sound quality significantly thanks to its improved sound processor.

My car had M bumpers from factory, but you can get some high quality taiwan aftermarket bumpers. They are made of ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) which is way stronger than the chinese ones. I know a lot of friends who use them and haven't heard any complaints.

About the tuning part, you can easily get that 136hp car to near 220hp with stage 1 tune, but I highly recommend you to change your intercooler

Thanks for the information!

About the chiptuning, many people tell many different things. A known chiptuner here has 3 stages, the third one being with the intercooler part but that's for 240hp. The second one is 220hp and the first one 163hp(118i level). i'll see what I choose for. Do you know any adresses I can visit in Turkey for the M aftermarket bumpers + possible chiptune stage 2 along with a custom exhaust? I'm a 'gurbetci' from Karaman

Note to mods: I know these are offtopic posts but I'm about to buy a car and I needed these answers from the users. I don't have the privilege to open topics myself.

I'm currently living in Ankara
There is a well-reputed aftermarket shop nearby. You can even retrofit a NBT on your car. They fitted NBT, Alpine HI-FI sound system and MSport Wheel with paddle shifters without any problems. I'm sending their online shop via PM

Thanks, the given adress looks great! Definitely visiting them in summer 18'.
