    Hi guys Had a quick gander on the site + Google for general recommendations on remapping my e46 330d near Leeds. Most threads seem a few years old now. Does anyone have any recent experience and make a good recommendation for an experienced garage to do a remap? Just looking for moderate gains...

    Good Morning all , Just wondering if any of you out there have had or heard of the same issues im having . Every now and again when I floor it on the throttle my revs shoot up to about 3000rpm then hold there while my speedo catches up , this only tends to happen when its around the 3rd/4th gear...

    Hi all, First post so a couple of pics first :D Issue I have is right as the turbo is spooling, boost increases and decreases as it spools up at peak torque. Once spooled and it's got to about 2500rpm IIRC it'll then pull through fine. But I'm probably loosing some bhp from the turbo not...

    Can I first say hello. My first time on the forum. Been thinking for a while about having my bmw 330cd convertible e46 2006 remapped, not that it was down on power but felt the engine had a lot more to give. Kept reading reports on stan at ecotune, gave him a call and well the rest is...

    Hi All, So as some of you are aware I was in an RTA and the 330d has been written off. Sad times indeed. After discussions with the insurance company, they aren’t giving me that much back for the car (I am currently disputing this) so I have decided to buy back the wreck and strip it for parts...

    Hi all, I've got an odd problem on the car. It pulls fine right up the gears, pulls off smoothly and there's no lag when you hoof it! However, as the car is slowing to crawl and idle there are a couple of jolts and a quiet thud from the back of the car. I've had it looked at by my local indi...

    Hi All I'm new to this and have just got myself a 2001 330D touring. Will be looking to doing the swirl flap mod but before I do I wanted to find out if I could fit a 204bhp manifold to my 184? If I can I was thinking of buying a 204 manifold and doing the mod on that instead of the standard...

    will the e90 330d clutch fit for a start? been told it will and has been done before! and will it hold out to 500ft/lb? a few people have said they have fitted one to tuned e46 330cd's and they have held out for a few years.. so for £180 is it worth a shot? or hold out and save for a helix...

    Hi all, Seems a shame to introduce myself as a new user with such a mundane and common problem....especially as I've never actually reversed into anything even though I've had the car for about 4 months and the damn thing has never worked!! Still, here goes! I got the car as a second car for...

    Hi All, I blew my turbo a few wks back & now need to replace it.. A new Garrett unit is just shy of a grand! anyone used Essex turbo's for recon units ? just under £500. The garage I took my car to reckon it's a 2 day job! he wants to take it out from the top, remove air box, rocker cover &...

    I think I'm going for an E46 330d touring next time around (next year hopefully!). Mileage is on the up and I'm doing more motorway miles. I'd go for a 320d but I'm a bit greedy. Anyone have an input into the older vs new 3.0 lump? It'll be manual (I prefer to drive my cars rather than steer...

    I'm in the process of replacing my '03 330d with an '04 330d. mecahnically the cars are identical, the old car had a remap, not sure what it was, previous owner claimed it had 265 bhp and I can quite believe it, the performance was explosive compared to the new one. The old 330d performed more...

    Hi! I want to remap but I read that if there is too much torque you can ruin the drivetrain... Are there safe figures to increase to? Cheers Folks:thumbsup

Ive read a few horror stories about different faults: faulty injectors, failing turbos, gearbox problems, what are you opinions...
  15. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi all, I've recently encountered a problem with my much loved, (usually) reliable 330d M Sport. About a month ago I did a 150 mile motorway journey, parked up at my destination & then got asked to move my car to another carparking space. When I went to re-start my car it cranked fine but...
