For me it doesn't make sense why you want it anything other than "as powerful as possible!!" Thats why a remap does the trick for me!

Just had Bluefin installed in my 320d.Happy with the results, car runs smoother and feels really strong. Torque is now peaking at 453Nm at 2800rpm. Power peaks at 152Kw at 3500 rpm and stays flat to nearly 4000rpm (diesel drivers will know that this is where we need the power the most before the rev limiter kicks in).
I took the car to a reputable tuner Steve Auto to varify the numbers on their dyno - see attached (note the unit was not installed by Steve Auto nor tuning done by them I just used their dyno)

Those are really good figures from the Bluefin!! What year model is your 320d and how many miles does the motor have?
With the normal Superchips in my car I'm getting 143kW and 430Nm. I must say my car still gives me a thrill every time the boost kicks in!!

Hi All

Been checking the forum out for a while and registered today I drive an E90 325i and I'm busy planning a few mods. I'll post later once I've started, with before and after pics.

[Menno11]

Welcome Spidey! Looking forward to your posts!

Hey dumit, those are some good figures.

Questions:
How much was ur bluefin?
Where did u get it from?
How much was the Dyno Run at SAC's?
I assume the kW reading is on the wheels? So the flywheel would be much higher?

Good to know we got a contact on the other side. Parts here are just crazy expensive and sometime it's actually cheaper to import! Will definitely call on you if I need anything!

Cheers!

[Saffa_G]

Howzit bru, welcome to the forum! Thanks for the headsup. Will keep it in mind. You guys got a website?

[Global Parts Trade]

We don't have a website because we don't actually deal in the "retail" side of things.

Our actual business is in the commercial sector brokering container(s) size shipments of Mercedes, BMW, Audi & Porsche parts to mostly Asia from the US Dealers. We deal with importers in Asia that then distribute throughout China Singapore, and Vietnam.

This is just a side venture of mine to help out the little guy

Shoot me an email at eric@globalpartstrade.com if you interested

Cheers.

Just anouncing that I am the proud owner of the JB+ from Burger Motorsports.

All I can say is WOW! Any 35i owners out there not running something like this or above are doing themselves an injustice!

All I can say is that for R2300 shipped to my post box it's about the best value I can think of in terms of upgrades! It took about 15 mins to install because I couldn't work my big hands in and around the intake plumbing. Once you get the hang of it though it can litterally take less than 2 minutes to install / uninstall!

I'm in love!
