B58 tuning ?

[J4CKO]

Has anyone had one of these remaps and how does it compare to the 135i ?

I read that BMW had made it harder to tune this engine, ok I know it doesnt need it with 345 PS but nice to know if it can be,. have heard also that it can be tuned, anyone got one done ?

Also, how come they detune the bigger cars to 320 and give the 1 series 345 ?

Someone actually dyno'd the new B58 and it made around 370bhp from stock.

Wow, that is amazing, Lotus Carlton power in what is basically a latter day Vauxhall Chevette !

I suppose as the tuning stuff comes out there will be a lot of >400 bhp 1 series out there.

Thta is a lot of performance for what, 26 grand (from a broker, if you get a white one)?
