owning a 2016 f10 530d remapped at 320hp, with 200k km. Works like a charm
350-400 hp is no problem as long as you upgrade the cooling system (bigger intercooler) & limit the torque in lower gears. You can install the alpina transmission software. The D5 biturbo has the same block
Hi! I got F31 N57D30 with remap to 342hp/700Nm (DPF and EGR still works). Car works perfectly.. Im on highways almost every day, so torgue is really helpful at 150km/h+ speeds. With remap i got 60.000km. Cars mileage is 240k. I think its only about owner- change oil with filters every 15.000km, push it to the limit only with heated oil and of course turn off Start/stop system.. For sure i changing oil in ZF every 60.000km..
What kind of remap? And what model n57d30?
@@zimly-gaming1522 Custom remap in chiptuning company. I dont understand Question about model. Its N57D30A (330D F31)
@@snaipei okay Thanks, stage 2?
@@zimly-gaming1522 Dont know. My wish with this tune was get engine to the safe maximum.. But guy who makes this Ecu map told me "If u will get full gas on autobahn for 5+ minutes. Engine dont make it."
I’ve got the F11 530d - stage 1 map giving me 316bhp and 620Nm - economy is better for sure - I’ve gone from Calais to the Dolomites in north east Italy on 1 tank - can’t complain about that and super comfy too
You should do f11 review in general after owning it for some time. pros and cons.
sounds great bro new sub from me great bit of content nice channel bro
This extra gain in torque put massive stress and damages the transmission. I've learn this the hard way.
But again its a diesel transmission it should hold up
I have an remaped 530d 2017 300 hp and 700nm and its great fun to drive.
Any problem after remap ? I also have a 530D
@@MJ-yu7kw No problems at all done over 5k miles.
Where did you get remap please?
Did it improve mpg?
hi i have exca,tly same car 530xd2017 would you recomend it
thanks
Recently I've bought F10 535D from US (which is EU's 530D single twinscroll turbo 3.0L diesel - same as here). Got it remapped professionally - multiple dyno runs, log analysis etc. (both the engine, TCU, speed limit removal etc.). The result? 316HP with 630Nm and significant acceleration gain. Paid 400 pounds for it in Poland as of today's money. Took almost 4 hours to complete.
How does The Car drive and is it still driveable!!!! And Can you send a link to The shop in poland :)
@@albania2664 As a xDrive is has very nice traction and does 0-100kph in about 5 seconds. Top speed now at 280kph. When on Sport Mode the reaction to throttle is much faster than it was. I had to replace valve cover as it started to leak. I don't think remapping was a direct cause - probably the cover was already weakened by mileage.
The shop is called BMG Tuning in Wroclaw.
@@Sad-Lemon Thx brother Im in sweden and i have a 530d xdrive with 269.000km engine Seems very healthy but i Dont know if its a good idea to remap it when it has theese km on it 🤷🏻♂️
@@albania2664 You never know... Higher power means higher wear to the crankshaft and I know this particular engine has problems with it. Yet many of sub 200k cars are really nearing 500k because of odometer rollback. If you think the mileage is legit then it should withstand extra power.
@@Sad-Lemon Thx brother 💯💯💯
I got the f10 535d was looking at quantum tuning to do a remap any advice ?
I just bought a 2018 A6 3.0TFSI (supercharged; not turbo). Do you know if remapping will improve fuel mileage in this car? The car is still under factory warranty. Would remapping void the factory warranty? Your videos are good. I wish you good luck as you get more views and subscribers.
Hello I remapped mine and it did not improve fuel consumption but had very good gains. A6 30t very detuned and remap releases plenty of power.
Hi can I get the details of the man who did remapped for you thanks
This guy looks 17 but sounds like he's 45
I'm not convinced about the increased power AND fuel economy claim. Manufacturers compete with each other and try really hard to deliver both fuel economy and performance. They struggle these days to meet the emissions standards hence the VW cheat box. If there was a way to increase power and mpg just by changing the s software I'm pretty sure they would know about it, they will have a huge team with fancy computer simulations and testing facilities. I know they sometimes use software to limit power so you if you want more power then you have to buy the more expensive sport version of the same thing. I've also heard that a remap can mess with the trip computer so it over estimates mpg, maybe it doesn't realise that more fuel is in fact being dumped into the engine....?
That all sounds very reasonable, and obvious. I heard there are 2 different maps, performance and eco but literally can’t be the same.
Before watching, safe tune with before and after dyno: YES!
Cowboy limited coming to you to mess with your boost pressure on your driveway: NO!
Pop and bang, launch control, etc NO-NO!
Ebay ODB chip tune box: NO oh god please NO!
Also this Bring My Wallet already had enough problem. Why on earth the owner bagging for more? 😅
At a proper place, they doing racecar prep, before and after dyno print out they quoted me £300
(Also can change the ECU on a phone app between original, tuning, eco)
I honestly forgot ebay OBD 'tuners' exist. Poor souls that fall for them.
As an aside, I've booked on for a track day at Donnington on 07/06/2021. A few viewers are coming along, so you are welcome to sign on too if you'd like! ( car.msvtrackdays.com/Calendar/Car/DoningtonPark/2021/6/7 )
I've book to get my new Ford focus ST Line X 1.0 125bhp next week to 150bhp. But after watching a few videos on here I'm actually terrified now in going ahead with it. Worried it will screw up my car that I just got two weeks ago which is 2019 reg and then I'll be left with finance to pay for a car I don't have or can't use. Any advice would be great.
The engine of the Ford is already pushed almost to the max better dont do it. On the 530D the engine have big potential BMW say ist 245 ps but is actually 280-290ps at the wheels stock. Those remaps dont do much
That will definitely blowup
What worries me is the tolerances of things such as the fly wheel. Ive been offered a tune taking torque from 330nm to 450nm.
Thats 40nm over the max load and that cant be good for longevity can it!
No good tuner would ever do da
Thought you were guna drive it Harry Potter
E60 530i msport LCI . N53 engine. Who here has the same car as mine and has been remapped? 🤔
No one you are naturally aspirated, with Turbo cars remap is between 40 to 70bhp with your case if you straight pipe it do KN filter and remove EGR you may get 20bhp max.
Considering remapping my 1.0t hyundai I20 but not sure in terms of long term reliability I imagine it will be fine but wanted to know of anyone else's long term experience of remaps?
1.0 lol
Really depends on how strong the internals are. I wouldn't want to be pushing it too much
