greenalleycat 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Hey guys Got an M57N 03 330d 6spd and kinda sad that it's not quite as fast as my old 330i, thinking about getting it remapped with the Superchips Bluefin. Wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Main issue is the reliability, they sent me a sample dyno sheet a while back and all the new power comes out of the turbo, not too keen on blowing that up early if I can.

Did you take him up on the offer? the 120d was much nicer to drive AND was faster revving and lees drastic tail of of the power at high(er) revs after the "chip" Good to hear, thanks. Any changes to fuel economy? And any maintenance concerns - how long have you been running it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmarco 56 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 No, not yet.... Might be nice to have 150kW on tap, but it gets up & boogies as it is. I don't find myself wanting more. And I have many other uses for $1200..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And any maintenance concerns - how long have you been running it? no difference in ecomomy maybe slightly better.I bought the car at about 80 ks chipped it almost straight away,sold it approaching 160k car still on the forum.NZ performance tuning did mine for about $900 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
