320d - remaps?

RedvGreen · 27 Apr 2011 at 23:29

I'm having dirty thoughts about jumping to a 320d instead of the mythical 330i and 335i, but am curious as to what the centrepiece 320d can be turned into.

What sort of reliable remaps are available for the 320d?

Also, if chipping is possible, what sort of Insurance backlash would it create?

TIA :cool:

As in the diesel 6 cylinder... or a petrol?

320i is much worse than the 320d in every respect... performance, mpg, resale etc.
