hi

as i understand it the 118d from around 2015 onwards has the same b47 engine as the 120d?

if so can 118d be remapped to same figures as a remapped 120d?

is there a way to know for sure if you have that engine and not one with a smaller turbo

OP, You don’t say where in the country you are based? In the Midlands there are the likes of Performance Torque who do a lot of remaps using a rolling road & in Manchester Dervtech whose website shows a stage 1 remap at 180 bhp (assuming yours is an E8x version). Evolve in Buckinghamshire are also widely spoken about & also have a rolling road.

Having done a quick bit of searching the injectors & turbo are different to those on a 120d by the way so could limit the remapping improvements.
