In conjunction with my other thread I will be looking to get a 330i or 335i in about a year or 2 as I still need the fuel economy for now but is it worth getting my 320D ED remmaped for now, I've seen gains to be around the 200hp mark.

[nick46]

Yep definitely worth it. Speak to Jason at BWChiptune as he is probably the best around. Do a Google search and you will see how well respected he is. Not sure where you are but he's in London near Heathrow. I'm in Somerset and I travelled to him to get my 330d mapped and it was definitely worth the trouble of travelling all that way.

[rasa bmw]

as above,,but he can map your car where you live,,he has a few companies around the uk,he did mine ..live link 350 miles away,,on rolling road,,i got a data logged custom map,,i didnt want just a map which he sells to the place i had it done at,,,contact him...i have his private mobile number but do not want to give that out...so just look on sponsors page

[Giggss]

Yeah I have seen a lot of people vouch for him and he's actually only 10 mins away from my uni so I could go to him directly. Thanks guys.

Bought my first E92 320d a few weeks ago. So far feeling very sluggish in terms of torque and terrible MPG in the city, going to get it serviced in January and then maybe think about a remap.

Is it recommended remapping 320d's in terms of reliability? I've read mixed reviews on them from random forum threads I've read in the past.

Simon from E-Maps did mine when it was on around 50K, currently on 161K at the moment with no issues other than the common E92 faults.

So any thoughts on the same for 318D , or is it ill advised to remap it?

Your car is a 2ltr engine just detuned, so you would get more benefit remapping than the 320D

Hi, Can i just jump on this aswell?
I have just got a high mileage 2007 E91 (174K) is there any reason NOT to have it chipped?


Cheers

As long as the car is mechanically sound and has been looked after and maintained properly, then no - go for it.

Cheers for that

clutches are the main thing a remap will show up if week,auto box should be mapped within tollerances of torque also...but please do homework and get someone with pedigree,just post up who your thinking about and we can judge wether they are good or not

Have a look at quantum tuning, they give 220bhp for the 2008-2012 320d.
I've had a quantum map on my 35i for a number of years now with no related issues other than having to replace the coils soon after the map was installed.

I've remapped mine @BWChiptune on 21/11/18.

https://a.d-cd.net/JMAAAgPBtOA-960.jpg


Dyno before: 187.9hp 400Nm
Dyno after: 220hp 474Nm

Fuel economy stays same on mine, averaging 8.8 - 9.0l/100km short 5-7 mile runs on regular shell , vpower sometimes

It pulls from 1400rpm like it used to pull from 2k rpm.

Owned a car since Jul,2017 should have done it long time ago.

i think that's what you call and say.."thats all folks"..

Does anyone have experience with race chiptuning ?

[Silver Streek]

When you say race chiptuning, do you mean the racechip tuning box??

If so yes, I had one on mine, gave a good step up in power but I did notice the dpf was regening more so must have been smoking more. Also I found the power was produced lower down in the revs which is great for a quick start off the line, not so good when you are on the motorway.

I switched to a bluefin map which is much better. More drivable right through the rev range. More power and torque too.

I imagine a bespoke map done on a Dyno would be even better.

For now I'm happy with my bluefin map, I like that I can remove it and revert back to standard map and verse visa when I like. The superchips guys did a few tweaks for me too, adjusting throttle response and mapping out the egr valve too. They give a good service.

Allright thanks for the info , im considering going to Heinz performance , one of the better known ones in Belgium, still open to suggestions though

[Midlandstouring]

Can anyone recommend a mobile tuner or a garage/shop in the east Midlands? Thanks
