Two companies in the UK can successfuly re-map the 335i to approx 370-380bhp.

One I know of had Limp home mode issues on track.

There are several ''plug in'' tuning devices which can get over 400bhp but limp mode is even more of an issue.

335d can be mapped easily 330-350bhp. But as you can see, pulls away from a stock 335i.

With an exhaust and filter 360+ should be accessible. With DPF delete who knows

Do you really think big gains could be had?

Yeah I have also heard that the way that tuners are chipping the 335i can often and randomly send the car into limp mode. Not my idea of fun really and its slightly putting me off a 335i now that I have learnt that bmw engineered the car in a way to make it hard to mod!

Well the 335d is a 3.0 liter 6 cylinder twin turbo monster, so I would presume that if you removed the dpf you could turn up the boost etc and not have to worry about clogging up the dpf.

It depends really though on how much the turbos have got left to give, the injectors, and the manifold. I would presume though that bmw like VAG would give their cars alot of headroom for reliabilities sake. Best way to find out is to give a knowledge bmw tuner a ring and see if they think the stock turbos have more to give and what the vehicles current limiting factor is.

Perhaps like the 2.0TDI the tuners cant give the 335d more grunt on the remap because it will clog the dpf!
