ECU upgrade for E92 328xi?

Neon21db · 01-06-2007, 12:25 AM

Anyone know if there will be one? Would like a little more power and torque in my 328xi coupe.

find a good intake and exhaust set-up first and then head down the tuning road, your increases will be far more material.

How much is that going to cost?

depends on the products you buy. In all of this, you cannot expect huge changes if you are just looking for off-the-shelf solutions, which you should be given your car is a daily driver.
Continue to follow this forum and others, do your research, and make a decision on what you think is best for you (ie cost vs. benefit vs. appearance, etc). You do not need to do it all at once.
Expect maybe 20 wheel horsepower by the end of the three modifications.

i heard that it is possible to reprogram the 328i with the old 330i software to develop about 20 more HP.

can anyone elaborate/confirm/deny this?

do some research, nothing has worked on that yet. there are a number of threads in this forum on the topic.

bump for what? do a search, so far, nothing solid is out, most of the aftermarket tuner effort has been devoted to 335i, why? it's easier to squeeze power from a turbo than a NA engine
