F30 330d remap

[macca77]

Hi all.

I take delivery of a 330d in a few weeks and am pretty excited. Was massively impressed by the performance in a test drive a few weeks back and put an order down as soon as I got back.

Was just curious if anyone had remapped one yet, and if so what increase in power, economy they had seen? To be honest I'm not looking to do this in the short term, but it's always nice to know what potential extra horses can be squeezed out. I have seen a number of tuning box add-ons but unless times have changed I will always stay away from these products.

Thanks
Macca

Never thought this was the kind of forum where I'd have to justify a desire for more power.

@turbospud I will wait until I get it, hence the reason I said not in the short term. While I wouldn't profess to be a driving god, i've done plenty of track/airfield days and am always interested in extracting a bit more performance out of my cars.

@stuart-b Thanks for the response, when/if the time comes I'll give AMD a shout.

I was lucky enough to get a 330D for a day and had nothing but a smile on my face for the entire day. Can't wait, just hope the promised delivery date doesn't slip. I got mine with adaptive suspension, did you opt for that too? If so what are you thoughts? I wasn't able to get a test drive in a vehicle with it fitted, but went back to back in a comfort and msport model and felt that I needed the benefits of both as this will also be a long distance family wagon.

Cool, I went for the 330d luxury, with visibility pack, comfort pack, media package bmw professional, heated seats and adaptive suspension.

It's so easy to tick the boxes, only thing I was tempted by that I didn't opt for was the adaptive steering but I'd gone from a budget of a 320d originally.

Just hope it turns up soon. What was your lead time?

Initial expense, significantly higher fuel/servicing costs, the fact that they don't come in touring form. Do I need to continue??
