Bluefin - Superchips on my e90 330d
Well at the weekend I installed my remap from superchips, they supplied me reset of the handset and firmware update along with the map for £230
Initial thoughts are power seems smooth but power band appear to last longer. Didnt take long to install either, simply plugged in 10 mins of loading and downloading and its done. Will update on fuel economy in a week so i can get a good indication if its eaten into it too much. anyone else got one of these fitted? http://www.mybluefin.co.uk/search?ma...33&variant=120 NB this is on a 2006 330d pre LCI model Last edited by nuttallacpw; 01-18-2014 at 03:54 AM.. |

I've used Bluefin before on a Golf GTi Edition 30 (detuned to 230bhp from 265bhp Audi S3 engine).
The Bluefin device and Superchips remap took it to almost 300bhp ! It was a superb map and made the car come alive. I have always regretted selling it. However, when I used Bluefin on a 320d I hated the results so will be interested in how you get on after 100 or so miles. I went to DMS for my LCI 330d and love it. |

so its been a week and i have reset my mpg every morning, averaging 40-41mpg which is better than prior to the remap where i was getting 38-39mpg.
driving its great fun, showed up a mountune focus st without any trouble and love the extra ooomph you get when mid gear accelerating. Overall well worth the £230 considering the new handheld device is £359 with the map. Now to decide is it worth keeping the handheld controller incase i ever need to switch back or simply sell it on for someone else to do the same. |

My Dad gave me his Bluefin from when he had his Cupra K1 so I could swap the map for mine if I fancy it, so Im rather tempted especially when the figures are so good.
Bluefin 194hp standard 62hp increase 256hp mapped 400nm standard 120nm increase 520nm mapped Just need to give superchips a call.

Best thing to do is keep it, you never know when you might want to switch back and there's the other immobilising functions of it too which you may want to use at some point. I still have mine for the 325d even though I don't have the car. The trader who has the car advertised at the moment has it as an option in his advert and I've agreed to sell it him if the buyer wants it. |
