E9x's Required for Testing

Sales@Evolve · 09-07-2009, 08:58 AM

We are looking for the following cars to carry out some testing on our dyno.

Cars required:

E9x 320i 170hp
E9x 325i
E9x 330i

Cars will all be remapped for a very small cost and put on the dyno before and after.

PRICE - this will be heavily discounted to just £200.

If your interested please contact us and ask for Sal.

Is the 258hp 330i any good or does it have to be the new engine?

Sales@Evolve · 09-07-2009, 11:28 AM

Hi,
Needs to be the later engine.
We already have our results for the 258hp engine and they are excellent:

JLR1969 · 09-07-2009, 11:44 AM

So the increase was +19 BHP,

I thought that they produced 258BHP as standard, appreciate that thats the factory figure but most cars you have mentioned always produce pretty much what the factory states.

Why was this car showing a low output?

If you want to just check your 320D map is all ok at a special price I'm always available

It was a 258hp car.

We just dynoed it before and after, we gave no real attention to what the figures were. Not all BMW's make their quoted figures.

The important thing here is the gain before and after.

matt@stratford · 09-07-2009, 12:52 PM

That's a shame, I am thinking about remapping mine

Sales@Evolve · 09-07-2009, 05:16 PM

Matt,

I take it yours is a 258 model?

Well worth doing.

gadgetfreak · 09-07-2009, 05:43 PM

Really? I always thought there was little point with the 330i 258bhp, even spoke to DMS a few days ago and was told that most ppl probably wouldnt even notice it i.e. dont bother.

ShereKhan · 09-08-2009, 02:32 AM

What about a 320si?

matt@stratford · 09-08-2009, 02:43 AM

Hi Sal,

Yes mine is the 258 engine. Can't justify £425 at the mo

Matt

Sales@Evolve · 09-08-2009, 02:48 AM

DMS are probably basing this on some of the previous engines on which there was little difference. I don't blame them for taking this attitude.

These newer engines are different and there are healthy gains. +19hp is most definately going to be felt.

The difference made to the 320i's on the road is stunning.

I'll look into that one and get back to you.

Can't believe there isn't a queue a mile long of 320i owners....if I still had mine I would have been knocking on your door in 5 minutes, providing it didnt break down on the way to you!!!

Sales@Evolve · 09-08-2009, 08:35 AM

320i's feel lethargic and run out of puff over 4000rpm. After our remap they feel alot fuller and are far more willing to rev over 4000rpm. I am sure 320i owners will jump at that!

xenon · 09-08-2009, 08:47 AM

I have a 170bhp 320i ED and it is tempting. I'm just paranoid about future warranty issues for what may be a marginal gain.
