Just wondering if any of the tuners you go to also have experience with modifying bmw 335i's.

Ive sourced ones that specialise in these cars, and feel they are very overpriced.

eg. intercooler $2300

downpipe - $2200

ecu tune $2200.

cat back exhaust $3200.

thx

Depends what you want done. Aftermarket or chipped standard ECU.

That does seem a little expensive but there is always going to be a premium for working on such a new, expensive car unfortunatly.

Anywhere should be able to do an exhaust, intake and intercooler setup for it but the ECU will be tricky.

I would like to get the usual upgrades like fmi, intake, full exhaust, and tune. Not after a full aftermarket ecu, maybe a piggyback or remapped std ecu. This appears to get around an extra 70-80kw at the wheels, and approx. 110Nm torque which will be plenty for me. For these mods the qoute was just under 11K.

Most tuners are dabbling in different makes, so hopeing someone on here knows a non-euro bunch that can mod the 335.

ive had a few through, i will chase up the graphs. From memory it cost them around $2000 for a "tune" and we did before and after and the only change was the boost :blink:

Be wary though as most shops here just load in a generic german map which is usually just a boost cut speed cut and boost increase (for $2k),

i had one M3 come in and lose 29rwkw, from 239 down to 210rwkw (and 30nm) with the so called leader in BMW performance's flash tune (see attached) :P

Trent,

What model M3 is it on the graph, E36 or E46 or E92?

Interesting that they lose some power from a flash tune.

Cheers

Grant

E92 with flash tune and exhaust.

Tony,

Is this what Ben's 335i have in when he took me for a spin?

Cheers

Grant

p.s. time for me to save up a lot to get one of these!

haha yep, thats the one. you can appreciate how impressed i was when i drove it. the power just kept pouring on like there was no end to it.

shame about the open wheeling diff though.

my mate installed their chip, filter, and boost lines, on his 335i twin turbo 08/09?

all up around 1k if i recall.

great results, no tune, no dyno, no mods.

yeah that is the boost chip. Pretty sure the last guy who came in upgraded the diff to a better ratio and lsd :blink:

Yes, I was simply blown away with how hard this thing goes, I told Ben that it's quicker than 270rwkw GTR I test drove, yes shame the diff is open, is it fitted with LSD now?

I'd be happy with the 335i and 100k in my pocket. Then spend 5k on the 335i and smoke the M3 :)

no he didnt fit an lsd. apparently to replace the diff was some stupid amount of dollars. he sold it now anyway and bought a sedate 2L supercharged merc. really nice car. not a powerhouse, but good for cruising etc.

Yeah the diff replacements can get quite costly. A few companies in the states make some good upgrades with the diff. I've been following the development of the 335i parts from the US forums for some time now. I definetely would like to get one in a few years time once im settled in career wise and the prices go down a bit.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques
