Right then lads.....

I own a 57 plate 330d auto (edited - msport)
Need a few pointers on - tyres what's my best option ?
Think the factory wheels what's on are 17s

I've got some part worn on basically had a rough time with money so went down the cheapskate route.

Secondly

I'm looking at a DPF removal & map
DPF light comes and goes doesn't effect the car but it's driving me mad
The map is just wanted because I like to add a little power.

Preferably a tuner who can do both at once
I'm in Sunderland but don't mind travelling.

Cheers ??

You don’t say whether m-sport or se, I’m assuming se on the basis of you saying you have 17” wheels, so you’re looking at a 225/45/17 square setup.

I bought a 330d in that setup earlier in the year (it’s now in Cyprus), That had continental sport contacts on it when bought, and is now on Michelin PS4. Both seem to suit the car quite well, certainly better than the 19” Goodyear F1 Asy2 I had on a previous 335d, but then those are “old” tyres now. Personally, I like Michelin so would always recommend those above other brands, but there’s really only minor differences between any of the leading tyre brands, and 225/45/17 is pretty much ubiquitous - even Vauxhall Corsa drivers can buy those, so there’s lots and lots of data on that size.

As far as DPF removal goes, read up on the new MOT regs. Then make the choice on whether you want to remove it, or not. (I wouldn’t).

For an e9x 330d remap, search for Simon from emaps, only ever heard good things (I’ve never bothered remapping anything Diesel I’ve owned, so no firsthand experience).

HTH...

Keep the Dpf, get someone knowledgeable to fix it. Easy when you know how. Superchips Bluefin maps are good.

No it's actually the 330d m

I've seen the DPF law but I'm thinking the guy that does the mot has his all done aswell and would pass it, so I wasn't as sceptical

I am not being a spoilsport or being "holier than thou" but you need to remember that to drive a car with part of its emission control system is illegal and ignorance is no defence.
