Potential remap on a 330d M sport

Hi all, first time poster, be gentle.

Had a 530i M sport that im in the process of selling as I have just bought my first 3 series. It's lead me to the conclusion I have the BMW bug.....

I have bought a 2013 330d m sport (F30). I a blown away by its performance and economy. However, I am interested in a remap as I am led to belive this will improve both performance and economy.

So what I want to know is:
What/who is recommended to use?
What sort of gains can I expect in HP and MPG?
What does that mean in everday terms? 0-60 etc.

Thanks in advance. Look forward to being part of this forum.

hi, i tuned my 430d at Br-Performance, but i think in england there are similar tuners.
expect for a 330d between 310-330hp , 0-60 time i do not know, but it,s very fast.. i managed to set a time from 100-200 around 12-13 seconds
MPG all depends on your right foot i think..
they also programmed my egr valve. ( safer for later i think )

greets

I'll tag JLR1969 in here, so he'll see the thread and hopefully reply for you. He's got a 530d with a tuning box, and seems very happy with it.

Hi Mate

I have a Bluespark Pro which on setting D7 gave 300BHP and 650Nm

I had a tuning box as I did not want the ECU opening up

It's magic you pay £250 and your car goes faster, you take it off and it's back to normal

More fuel, more boost more power

Oh really? Where does it plug into? Does it stay plugged in? What would you say your new 0-60 time is??

Ok so there are two connectors one goes to the fuel rail and the other to the boost pressure switch

No idea what 0 to 60 is but its quicker across the whole rev range if I was to guess I would say it's about 0.3 to 0.5 seconds quicker than standard but in essence the whole experience is a lot more than just 0 to 60

Bluespark have a 28 days return guarantee so buy it for it try it and if you don't like it send it back
