As a reminder, we’ll tell you that the powerplant can be found on a wide variety of current BMW models: 3 Series (E90/1/2/3), 5 Series (F07), 7 Series (F01), GT (F10), X5 (E70) and X6 (E71/2).
The tuning company’s engineers worked to improve both the performance and the efficiency of the 3.0D engine, optimizing the fueling and turbo boost settings. The modifications have been validated through multiple tests, including real-world sessions and dyno tests.
But let’s get to the numbers. Superchips' ECU remap brings the power up by 44hp, with the unit now offering 313 hp at 4,183 rpm. The power improvements can be noticed starting from 1,500 rpm. As for the torque, this has been upgraded by 90 Nm, with the engine now delivering 627 Nm at 2,222 rpm.
The company has decided to use a safety-first approach, leaving the factory 155 mph rev limiter unaltered.
The company says that the ECU remap will also make the engine more efficient, as it has removed stock compromises that were designed to compensate for service neglect or low grade fuel.
"Behind the wheel, the Superchips remapped BMW 3.0D feels much more potent. Throttle response is sharper, the engine feels keener, more urgent and more willing, pulling harder throughout the rev range. Meanwhile, the additional torque available from the Superchips ECU remap enables relaxed, stress-free overtaking, cruising and towing," stated the press release.
