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.

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

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

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 :)

+1

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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
