BMW Diesel Tuning??

AsphaltRisin'

Anyone know if you can get a chip or a remap done on a BMW E36 (91 to 99)
318tds engine? And if so... any of ye know where in ireland it could be done (if at all).

No worries.. Sure cant go wrong with an extra 23bhp and 65nm torque

I would weigh up the pros and cons here.

An E36 318TDS will be at the very least 9 years old at this stage with probably 100k miles or more on it. Will a chip really improve the performance of the car at this stage of it's life?

ah.. yeah... 9 years old is nothin for a bmw, especially one with 64k and one previous OAP owner.

But in any case... aside from this car, just because a car's old doesnt mean it's not good (and that bmw's not old at 10 years). If it's maintained properly, and i mean PROPERLY.. any good car will stay good for a lot longer than 10 years dude.
This throwaway culture people are gettin into is pretty silly.

I'm pretty confident that it'l make a noticeable difference... It's made a difference on previous relatively older cars ive driven... i just was askin because it's a diesel in this case and i hadnt had much experience of chips/remaps for diesels
