Well, partly. Mostly life just got too complicated so I forgot to record them or lost the various bits of paper I used after my in car notepad got used by someone who resembles the Mrs and it didn't get put back...

If it's going to be done, I'm getting the Rica E-power (software) upgrade which is designed for lower fuel consumption.
I don't want HP @ high rpm anyway, and I don't want to push the gearbox too hard with 300+ Nm as it's a known weak spot.
There is one that Car mechanics Mag used on their Mini One project - remap to the power of the NA Cooper. They used a plug in box which reprograms the ECU. You plug it in, it downloads the existing one, you email it to them, they send you the updated one, you plug in and it remaps. It also keeps the original one so you can swap it back. Wish I could remember its name but that issue went in the recycling....

I wondered about it as you can use it for different cars and swap them back for trade-ins.
