Anyone tried a tuning box on an E46 330d?
Discussion
Considering it for 2 main reasons.
1.) Having a performance gain that's less likely to screw up the DMF and clutch regularly. Most mappers seem to want to take it to circa 260-270bhp and many well north of 425lb ft of torque, however those in the know running the cars seem to reckon 250ish is the top end of what the DMF can cope with without complaint. Plus circa 240bhp and 380ish fl lb is a pretty big gain.
2.) As I currently live the SE (inside the M25), most of the time I cannot use the performance, so the idea of being able to switch maps to an efficiency one, that still gives me a bit more grunt, but potentially significantly better fuel economy and then switch it to power mode when I want the extra grunt, seems like an advantage worth having, even if it means trading off some of the potential extra performance.
Plus there is the 3rd reason, that If i decide to, or need to change cars, I can simply unplug, get it reprogrammed for free and plus into a new car.
