Has anybody got knowledge or had fitted the BMW Performance Engine Tuning Kit shown on the BMW website for the 320d engine?

I'm looking at possible improved performance on my 320d (184bhp)

Cheers

If you search there are a few threads ... people who have had it done - all seem really happy ... but I am sure they had it done on the 177ps engine - not that I reckon you would be any less pleased.

Costs a lot if you have an auto as they replace the torque converter. My quote for a 320d 177 was over £3,000 so I got a 330d instead

Have you considered a non official route to more power such as a remap?

I have thought about a remap. I don't know who does the best one for my 320d?

Good question, there are literally hundreds of companies doing.

DMS are very good but very expensive. Emaps are also very good and reasonably priced. There are loads more recommended by others but I can't remember them all.

Depends on the age of the OPs car though. If it's fairly recent (like mine) then OBD remaps aren't available. They can map if the ECU is physically removed from the car but that's not an option I've liked the sound of. Tuning boxes are available but I've never fancied one of them either.

The BMW option is expensive but additional/replacement hardware is involved too and obviously has the benefit of no one batting an eyelid when it's service time.

Agree with that - tuning the later models is a ball ache! Tuning boxes wouldn't do it for me either and removing ECUs is not a nice thought.

I'm in India and I've driven a 184 engine with the power pack, including the performance silencer. Now I haven't driven any other tuned 320Ds but this one was much quicker and more responsive than my stock 320d. In D mode it felt like the stock in D/S. To give you another example the push that you get in 2nd gear from 40-60 (km not mph) in the stock car, is the same kind of push the tuned car has from 60-90, which impressed me. Also the car becomes more refined and silent, and the engine seems more relaxed.

I would get it. Costs the equivalent of 2500 quid here for the auto.
