330d F31 - First Mods Advice

Hi all,

I've owned my 330d F31 for almost a year now and loving every minute of it.
I ran stock power for about 5 months and then decided to get a basic stage 1 remap done to bring the power up to around 310bhp.

I'm liking the power at the moment, but I wanted to get some suggestions for raising it a little more from you guys who are more 'in the know'.

I'm basically looking for cheap-ish mods that will increase horsepower a little but not alter the mpg too drastically (if such a thing exists ).

I've already seen a video on a K&N air filter, got my eye on that.

What would you guys recommend?

Cheers!

The charge pipes don't fail on the n57 platform.

I would suggest you get a remap from evolve it will transform your car into a beast! There are a few people that ask about it all the time. Maybe you can organise a group buy so you can get a bargain.

There is a thread I made a while back about the remote remap they do. I will find the link. Post there and maybe people will get excited for a group buy again.

After the remap, I would suggest xHp, for the gearbox. Faster and more responsive.

After sorting out the drivetrain you can look into suspension components. It will improve the ride and the looks.

Finally, if you still have the run flat tires replace them with some good non run flats. The best mod I made
