Despite what many think/believe the 330i is a vey tuneable engine, with just software you can get 20+ bhp and similar torque gains, changes the engine note and sharpens the throttle. Also gains to be had with MPG.

However, the only person that seems to be able to get these gains is Jason @ BWchiptune. He sends lots of 325's and 330's to us for map installs and dyno testing and we are always amazed with what he can do.

Thanks Dave, Just as I was thinking the good thing about this is it's un-moddable!!  :wink:

And where is Jason based? Hopefully for my wallet, in the North East!!

Ive been looking at these.  Looking for new motor at the moment and theres a few of these for sale near me, although I love the look of the E39 530i Sports; Stunning car.

Whats the performance/handling like compared to a GTI Stock/modified?

I'd put it on a par with a stock GTi through the gears, but in first and second it's quicker. However, both My Stage 1 cars would blow it away in every sense apart from the traffic light grand prix. This thing can get it's power down so easily from the off!! (apparently, so I'm told!)  :wink:

I hate to break it to you Ian... but that car doesn't appear to have a sunroof.

How will you cope?
