320i remap question

Slap_You7 · 04-15-2021, 10:24 AM

Firstly apologies for so many posts on here!

I was on the phone with a company that does remapping as I have a suspicion than my 320i has been remapped. He said if it's done by a decent company the easiest way to tell is to look at the max values on the sports display.
I have a 320i m sport 2017. Can someone without a remap check what the values are? Also, if anyone had a remap have these changed? My numbers are as per below picture

Well, I can tell you my 330i has the same range of numbers. I think my horsepower one may look a little different. For some reason I remember more hash marks...

Not sure if that’s helpful or not, but it would make sense for the 320/330 to share the same sport displays.

Your car is definitely remapped or the sport displays have been coded to show more than normal. A 320i should show a map of 200hp

Would you guys recommend keeping the map on it or remove? Is it going to affect the gearbox, engine etc as it was not designed for higher torque and bhp?

You would need to know what kinda tune was used before deciding to keep it or not. I recently tuned my 328 with Bm3, and could not be happier. I think it would be good, if there is a way for you to figure out what tune was applied and that would help you determine if you need to upgrade anything else.

If you fancy the power and have no issues with it (engine works fine, no strange behavior, etc - keep it. Make sure you use premium fuel (98 RON or higher as the engine is now probably tuned to make use of higher octane fuel)

The short answer of your second question is "Yes". Please don't ask "how" and "when"

You would need a fortune teller for that and the forum- contracted one i currently off, due to covid.

That's the fuel I put for the first time from shell. V power.
