    I have seen in press photos can't remember if I have seen them in person

    I can say that the badge is wrong, standard one has a gap between R5 and TDI

    What kind of chip?

    Hey Andy

    What kind of chip do have in the R5. I've got a DPCHIP, but I think they're all pretty similar.

    Mine has nine settings from 0 to max. On max it goes through the juice, but at that setting you're getting the full effect (still probably better economy than the V6 Touareg anyway). I run mine at 6, which seems to give me a good compromise between power and economy. I did disconnect it once, but the good-lady-wife was onto me and I had to connect it back up.

    Cheers

    Come on mate, BMWs are excellent cars. I had an E46 325ci for the weekend (my friend went to Gold Coast and left it to me). It was nice driving it, very smooth and comfortable, but on sunday nite i got in my car and the smile came right back on!!! My car is sooooo much more fun, but in 3-4 years, when kids come along (i hope), i'll trade my car for a 330ci or a 335i if funds permit.
    R32 is just too harsh and loud for kids

    If it is a DP chip you are after (and it should be!) then your local TJM dealer will sell you one. My dealer (Newcastle) was happy to order one and fit it for me as a trial for a few days. I bought it! Around $1200 IIRC
