Apologies, bit of a thread hijack, but does anyone have an idea what is the best way to tune a 320d Auto to improve performance and economy?

re-mapping would be the best way to increase both power and economy mate

yes, celtic tuning - type it into google. make sure you say you have been quoted by someone else for around £300 or you will be looking at about 350 - 375 for the re-map

I went from an E36 328 to an E46 320td compact which I had mapped and wasn't disappointed - at all!

Yes, a wrung out BMW 6 is sonorous, but huge slugs of torque are addictive too, as are the priceless looks on the faces of cars disappearing in the rear view mirror (in a cloud of soot)!

I would be happy to take a few of the sceptics (Dave) out for a spin in the 320d or the 530d!

I have a 320td compact too. getting it re-mapped friday - what brake is yours running at? after the new map? and is there a massive change to the cars antics or not?

I've got a superchips map and there's a very noticeable improvement IMHO. Torque is much higher across virtually the whole rev range, top end rated power from 150 (6 speed model from Feb 04) to 180 ish if you read the blurb (lots of optimistic claims out there) ... but it's the torque that matters.

It spools up lower in the revs, feels very strong through the powerband (which does still tail off towards 4k) and the economy actually improves quite a bit if you do long motorway schleps.

No adverse effects for me either and yes, the dealer still honoured warranty work on the car during the warranty period.

p.s. Bought the car with 12k and it's now about 84k miles (and still for sale)!

Sounds good... Celtic tuning who are coming to re-map mine say that bhp will go up to 200 and torque to 324LbFt.. so will let you know what sort of difference that will make lol. gonna get it dynod then to see what the old girl is realy putting out.

Wy you selling mate? dont go saying your gonna be getting a petrol 6 pot?

I have a new company hack now, plus an E60 530d (superchipped), plus a supercharged Z, plus a GSXR750, plus 2 karts, so too many toys really

Oh & the Mrs wants a hot tub, so selling the 3 might pay for that! Do they do part x on hot tubs?
