    Hey everyone, So my 330d has developed an issue and I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Basically, it accelerates fine up through the revs/gears (if a little sluggish than it used to be) But if you are in any gear and rev it up to 3000 odd and then let it drop down to about 2400 without...

    Hi, this week my friend remapped my 320D/ 184bhp ECU and then a dyno test.

This is not normal, generally after this remap torque must...

  7. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    Has anyone who owns this exact model opted for a remap ~+36BHP and was it worth it?? Had a few quotes ranging from £250 to £540 which is a little bonkers why I am sure they will do it the same way.
