SJD530d Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hello all, Yep, I'm from the DERV side - owned a 330d for 2 and a half years (manual, tuned with TuningBox CR51 & Milltek exhaust) which I changed back in June for an E39 530d Sport auto. Now with the CR51 fitted. Very nice car - looks good, rides and handles excellently with enough tail happiness to make me smile goes very well too! Are there many tuned diesel's (BMW or otherwise) round here? SJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Welcome SJD. I think theres a few modifed tractors around here. Most just dont like to admit to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Welcome SJD! I think most of the tuned tractors here are either Audi or VW Golf's. You are, however, most welcome as we like all soot-chuckers here What sort of power/torque to you get with the Tuning box fitted ? There's plenty anyway in that 3.0 BMW lump (come on Audi, pull your socks up!), so it would be interesting to hear how much more you get.

SJD530d Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Thanks for the welcome - figures went from stock 193 bhp and 302 lbft to minimum gains of 231 bhp and 361 lb ft. Plus improved consumption by at least 1 or 2 mpg round town and more on a long trip. SJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Don't express trains have less torque than that ? If it weren't for my wife hating the BMW image (and no, I didn't poison her mind to it ), I'd have to be tempted by that!
