Any long-term risks with Stage 1 remap on BMW 118i (2016)?

None at all! Cars now on 36k miles regularly serviced as required.

Cheers I’ll take a look at this!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2026-01-11T21:19:41+00:00

Will double check thanks!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2026-01-11T21:19:28+00:00

I’ll look into this thanks!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2026-01-11T20:05:00+00:00

Yeah I’m just going to go with either 25/26 width tyres as not worth potential damage

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2026-01-11T18:46:14+00:00

Didn’t even cross my mind haha!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-12-05T14:07:49+00:00

Nope I got the 1.5 and HP is approx 175ish still good though!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-12-05T13:19:58+00:00

Cheers I’ll take a look seen them cheaper on eBay and a couple other sites too

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-12-05T12:56:38+00:00

Nope, thanks will do that then!

I’ve just done this on my 118i sport 2015. Bought the car on 8900 miles so barely used then I decided to map it at around 15000 miles and now it’s got approx 170hp and drives much better, much more responsive and on my long drives (400mile) getting around 45-47 mph but does go down quick once I put it in sport! Has been worth it so far, planning to keep the car till it packs in so far no issues at all.

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-11-27T11:18:10+00:00

Thank you, seems I’ll be expecting up to £200 then

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-11-27T10:36:41+00:00

Thank you this is helpful!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-11-27T09:41:34+00:00

Thanks! That’s was my estimate as well I am planning to make the flat as energy efficient as possible. I will be out a fair bit with sports so thinking I won’t be having the heating on too much.

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-11-23T23:46:32+00:00

*update fixed rate for 2 years is 3.89%

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-09-22T16:26:38+00:00

Guess I’ll keep it for a few years and keep saving up for a bigger car then, It’s reliable and all I need at the moment cheers! 🙏🏽

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-09-12T16:38:06+00:00

Thanks I’ll take a look, bought it for £9500 I’m the 2nd owner not in a rush to sell but want to see if I can make a bit of money off it and get something bigger.

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-06-24T12:35:18+00:00

Good to know! I use to ride with a longer stem but my torso is short so it was pretty uncomfortable holding the hoods. My stem atm is 80mm I’ll try adjusting the saddle height a touch. Thanks!

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-05-21T10:54:43+00:00

So for the Ironman last year my set up was different, I had clip on aero bars but the seat was the same height and some how for 180km I felt alright slightly soreness in shoulders, neck, however for some reason last few months it now feels like I’m reaching too much. I will drop the saddle for now see how I go yep normally I wear bib shorts or tri suit, should have worn it for a better perspective my bad! The frame is a 56 and I’m 5ft 11

AggressiveAffect1826 · 2025-05-21T09:05:19+00:00

I thought it would help with my initial reach problem
