330i reflash will it help?

gunnerxq · 06-17-2011, 09:11 AM

Im putting in a 330i intake manifold in my car tomorrow. I don't think an AA tune is worth 900$. I want to know if a 330i reflash is better than no reflash at all?

Where did you here $900!? On AA's website they show $399, which is worth it IMO.

The closest place that does it is in long island. AA is not an option. I want to know if 330i reflash helps.

i doubt a 330 reflash will help... since its designed to take advantage of the 3 stage intake manifold, which your car would not have. A 328 flash might help your car more, since 328's pretty much have the same hardware in the engine bay.

But that's what I'm putting in a stage 3 intake manifold

theres a big thread on this (see 3-stage intake conversion)

i believe initial conclusion was 330i flash doesn't help

Just drive the damn thing for what it is. You want more power then get a 335 or a used m3. Unless you supercharge this car your not going to see any unbelievable gains. Even at the cost of a supercharger your better off putting that money towards a stock n54.

Why can't people give me straight answers? I know my other options but I like what I have now and like to mod it. Yes or no anyone?

Short answer, no. You can't simply reflash 330i software. It just doesn't work.
