Amir Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308029-your-tuner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Broadhurst Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 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.

Amir Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 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.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 what model 335? i'm guessing you're talking post 07? you could get the exhaust, FMIC piping etc fabricated and save a few dollars... the best bet is to go into your respective state's section on here, find out about tuners and just call them one by one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308029-your-tuner/#findComment-5085560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkyb0y Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 http://www.burgertuning.com/ 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.

STATUS Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 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 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308029-your-tuner/#findComment-5085803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Grantleyish Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Trent, What model M3 is it on the graph, E36 or E46 or E92? Interesting that they lose some power from a flash tune.

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?

PM-R33 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 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.
