The m550d is not being sold in the UK...it would indeed be wasted on UK roads. It's very much an Autobahn machine.

Chris Harris did a video review of it:

Amazing the m550d is only 190 odd bhp per tonne... a decent Stage 1 - 1.5 K04 is around 225 bhp per tonne. :surprised:

3 turbos seems unnecessarily expensive and complicated. Especially when you consider the third turbo is there to help out the big charger under extreme circumstances... So it's not helping with smoothness but there for number chasing.  How many hundreds of maps would it have in its brain?

God I'd hate see these motors when they're 10+ years old and things start going wrong, the bills will be huge.

Well it would need 1 map, as it will control all 3 turbos based on load, throttle and revs.

The 330d is a good car with much better mpg, much like the 120d compared to the 123d.

And the 330D can remap to around 330bhp too, only around 15-20bhp less than a remapped 335d  :happy2:

I'm sure it's the same for most modern cars, but when we used to program with the T7 suite on the Aero, there were a plethora of maps in the ECU for controlling a whole host of air / fuel related tasks.  I think the number was in the hundreds for Trionic, and that's an old system now.  A sophiscated 2012/13 car like the M550D is bound to have an ECU bursting with maps.

not any harder to map than the new generation BMW edc17 stuff on the 5 series F10.

245 ps version? You would need more than a map to reach those figures surely...

Yeah I think they map to about 335d standard figures stage 1 280 ish, I'm sure to get 330 bhp is dpf removal etc. could be wrong mind.

Jason at BW reckons they get to 300 stage 1 and DPF removal and remap gives nearer 335

Our stage 1 on the 245 BMW 3.0d engine makes 480ftlb and 330bhp. Peak gains with DPF removal are not much higher.

yes, 2 places in the UK doing it. BWchiptune and us. Problem at present is the cost which is around £1499
