At DC Remapping UK, we recently had the pleasure of working on a BMW 320D G-Series, a popular model in the BMW line-up, known for its balance of power and efficiency. The goal? To take this already capable vehicle to the next level in terms of performance and driving experience. With thousands of hours of tuning experience on similar platforms, we knew we could achieve impressive results – and we certainly did.
Initial Performance
When the car first arrived at our workshop, it was running on its standard software, generating 182bhp and 400nm of torque. This is respectable power for a 2.0-liter engine, but we knew there was plenty more potential to unlock with a custom tune.
Many vehicles, especially performance-oriented models like the BMW 320D, are equipped with engines that have a lot more capability than what the factory software allows. Manufacturers often leave headroom in the engine’s performance to meet global emissions standards and to ensure a broad market appeal, prioritizing efficiency and reliability over raw power. However, by carefully adjusting the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) settings, we can tap into that hidden potential, safely extracting more power and improving overall performance.
The Tuning Process
At DC Remapping UK, we use our state-of-the-art 4WD linked VTECH dyno for all custom tunes, allowing us to precisely monitor and adjust each vehicle’s performance in real-time. For this BMW 320D, we started by custom tuning the engine’s ECU, optimizing fuel delivery, boost pressure, and timing to ensure the engine could deliver increased power without sacrificing reliability.
But we didn’t stop there. We also installed the xHP Stage 3 gearbox software, an upgrade specifically designed to improve the transmission’s responsiveness and durability under the increased power load. With the xHP Stage 3 software, the car benefits from faster, smoother gear changes, which significantly enhances the driving experience – particularly during hard acceleration or spirited driving.
The Results
After our tuning process, we saw a significant improvement in the car’s performance. The BMW 320D’s power output jumped from 182bhp to 222bhp, while torque increased from 400nm to 498nm. This increase in both horsepower and torque has transformed the way the car drives, offering a much more responsive and thrilling experience on the road.
Not only does the additional power make the car faster, but the increased torque means better in-gear acceleration, making it easier and more enjoyable to overtake on highways or handle hilly terrains. The smoother gear changes provided by the xHP Stage 3 gearbox software also mean the car feels more refined, delivering power more seamlessly than before.
