Congrats and welcome, Everything is nice about it. There's is nothing i would change except add a set of roof rails

Roof rails for a 3 door seem quite rare and expensive, or am I looking in the wrong places?

I remember back when I was 17. My first car was an L series hippo then soon after a td4 sport.

Not a fan of the hard top versions though

Either way, wicked cars. You will get a lot of stick on here from the tratter boys - just ignore them ! Lol

One of the best mods you can do to your td4 would be to fit an EGR bypass valve and fit a synergy 2 with updated Maf sensor.

Have a search if your not sure what I'm talking about lol

Good luck

Probably more importantly would be the BMW upgraded crank case breather

Nice first car
When I was 17 I had a 1973 Hillman Avenger 1500 Super.
My second car was a 1972 Avenger 1500GT. I've still got it!

Pull the vacuum pipe off the EGR valve, plug the pipe with a screw.......job done, EGR disabled and doesn't cost a penny.

Best to remove the EGR completely

You can get a proper bypass valve from eBay for around £30

Plus forgot to mention the upgraded crankcase breather if yours hasn't already had it fitted

So the list of things to do/look at.

1. BMW crankcase breather
2. EGR bypass
3. tuning-diesels.com synergy 2

Anything else worth noting chaps?

Yep, no need for a bypass kit.......make sure you remove, clean and refit the intake manifold, and EGR valve.
