First time BMW owner seeking advice regarding ECU remap / tuning
Hello fellow BMW owners and enthusiasts!
I have just purchased a used BMW 320D X-Drive, year of make 2013 and i am delighted to say the least. My particular version is a Sport line, so it also has gear paddles behind a wheel which is wonderful.
I have literally one question:
Is it safe to have my car ECU remapped or chipped because i have read and heard that performance can be improved and even though most companies who provide this service claim there are no negative effects on the engine and gearbox, i am a bit reluctant so i was hoping that you guys could give me the most honest answer.
Basically, is the gain noticeable (acceleration wise) and is there a high risk to doing such a thing.
Thank you all in advance very much!
