Hi everyone
just thought id introduce myself.

im Chris
live in southern oregon
bought a 335d 2 1/2 months ago.

drove it stock for 6 weeks
Tuned the trans drove it like that for 2 weeks

ordered everything to do full deletes.

so now the car is fully deleted.

parts list:
xHP Trans tune stage 3

VRSF Downpipe
Bimmertune EGR delete
ATM Exhaust with mufflers (wrapped all the way to the mufflers with exhaust wrap by DEI)
BPC stage 2 tune

side note the BPC tune has more smoke than i wanted but its not really there untill WOT.

[Yozh]

Too bad you went with BPC. They have some issues, unfortunately.

[335dlci]

Yup. #badtune

Watch out boys...they are sponsors here. May get banned like the rest of the crowd that knew something about this platform.

OP...BPC tune should serve you OK, but just know they had a well documented string of cars that were running into mechanical issues, like bad injectors, maf, etc, for which their tune suppressed the DTC trouble codes. This has allegedly been fixed, but their customers weren't too happy with how the situation was handled.

I don't really know what the purpose was of this thread is. But hello!

Oh really? The Nazi moderators can ban you if you are just simply stating facts about a paid sponsor?

I know the rule of thumb is not to advertise if you aren't a paid sponsor but that seems a little extreme if they ban you for giving your opinion.. just saying.

Thank goodness DieselOps never joined this forum. Can't imagine what the forum would have thought of them

you can fix the smoke with an upgraded intake.

Can you provide more details on this fix? I'm running a JR tune and only get smoke when I drive aggressively.

I've also read that some of the other, newer tunes dont have this issue but I havent looked into it yet.

Not necessarily.. you can spend the $300+ for the upgraded intake and if you have a boost leak somewhere you will continue to smoke just as bad. There could be hundreds of reasons why your car smokes more than others and it takes time to narrow it down.

Still don't get why guys tuning their diesels care about smoke. I been playing with them for 20 years and never saw a good-running one making decent power without a smoke element to it. Then came emissions controls. And the workarounds and compromises. Sorry folks, but you can't have it both ways. Making power boils down to how much fuel and air you can push through it, and when it comes to diesels, that means smoke. You don't see it as much from the gassers, but it's there, just not soot.

So if you want a powerful, tuned M57, get used to the idea of smoke. Simple as that. Only question is how much. Your power and smoke levels will always be roughly proportional, within tune quality variances.

A good tune will haze only...smoke=un-burnt fuel

thanks for the heads up on the tune.
so far it runs great

anyway to find out if there suppressed codes ?

The smoke is only there when hammered.

That's good smoke. 😉

[jdub486]

DM me for info about BPC suppressing codes. ATM intake will reduce smoke considerably. No way to see suppressed codes besides flashing back to stock.

Sorry about that, new to the forum. Won’t happen again.

Yup, some Nazi Bootmod3 sponsor called my 340i a piece of shit for running the MHD tune and i told him to get softer knee pads and they banned my original account for saying that, but it was okay for him to say what he wanted because i wasn't running the bootmod3 tune.
