325d lci remap results

mikeouk · 03-30-2014, 06:20 AM

Got my car remapped yesterday by Dynodrive in Warrington .
My impression of the company was good when I arrived, very professional set up in a clean modern industrial unit,both Nikki and Gavin seemed extremely knowlagable and obviously know their stuff.
The first dyno run showed my car was running at 192bhp and 367torque.
My car is an ECU out job and took about and hour and a half to remap.
Second dyno run after remap showed 244bhp and 450torque.
The feels a lot quicker, really happy.

Impressive gains! Is It an lci? I can't find anyone local who can unlock the ECU in my lci 320d - also how much, cheers

Good results mate. I also have a 325D LCI and whilst i'm more than happy with the power i've got, i'd like to extract some more one day

My only issue/concern is the ECU out job.

To be honest I was fine with the power it had but knowing it had potential for a lot more ,it seemed a shame not to utilise it.
It's now even more fun to drive, I'm by no means a fast driver anyway but having the extra power for overtaking is great.
I was also apprehensive about ecu out, quite a few places I spoke to seemed rather vague and hadn't done it before ,and I wasn't prepared to let them use my car as a Guinea pig.

I thought the LCI 325d can be remapped the same as the 330d (same engine etc).... so shouldn't you be getting closer to 300bhp?

Mechanically the same on lci but apparently some ecu software difference, that's what I was told.
I didn't want the car taking to the limit, so maybe they could have extracted more power if I'd requested that.

Taking the ecu out is no big deal in bdm, and usually just take cover off and attach a connector or solder 2 pins. Some bmws are Obd port flashed.
