The Best BMW Diesels to Remap

15 June 2026 · DC Remapping UK

BMW's turbo diesels are some of the most rewarding cars to tune, strong, torquey and very responsive to a good map. Here are the ones we tune most, and what they typically gain on a Stage 1 custom dyno map.

ModelStage 1Gain
BMW 320d190 → 230 bhp+40 bhp
BMW 330d255 → 330 bhp+75 bhp
BMW 335d313 → 390 bhp+77 bhp
BMW 520d190 → 230 bhp+40 bhp
BMW 530d265 → 330 bhp+65 bhp
BMW X5 40d313 → 390 bhp+77 bhp

Why diesels respond so well

Turbo diesels have torque in reserve that a factory map keeps conservative for economy and worldwide conditions. A custom tune releases it safely, which is why diesels see such big, usable torque gains.

The straight-six sweet spot

The N57 straight-six (330d, 335d, 530d, X5 40d) is our specialism, we've worked on it for over 14 years. It takes a Stage 1 map beautifully and, paired with xHP gearbox tuning, is transformed.
