Bmw 320D Msport 2008 / 58 Plate, 2 Door, Coupe - Possible Performance Issues

[MJMMsport]

Hi All,

I am new on here. I have had a 320D Msport 2008 / 58, 2 door Coupe for 5 months now.

Overall im not that impressed with the performance and dont think its producing whats listed. Theres no significant issue as in its not cutting out, not pulling etc, however the turbo doesnt feel like its pulling that strong.

Its only got 36,000 miles on the clock and full BMW SH, immaculate condition.

When accelerating hard it doesnt really push you back from the turbo, so for example if i am in 3rd gear and doing 50mph and accelerate to over take it doesnt pull as hard as i would have expected.

It recently went into BMW for a checkup and while it was in i had a 62 plate 320D 2 door coupe, automatic, brand new with paddle shift. now i know this one has 184BHP so about 9bhp more than mine, but it was much more lively and pulled pretty strong even though it was an automatic. it was pretty fast compared to mine so thats why i am wondering if something is wrong.

BMW have checked and and there are no errors on computer and no smoke comes out etc. so all appears to be ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EGR issue ??

I have just been out and taken the plastic cover off and seen the EGR, but the screws are done in from the bottom, so to remove looks like you will need to do it from under the car.

Checked pipes and all appear to be ok, so think it must be blocked up.

how much do you think it would be to get it cleaned?

Maybe MAF sensor?

Or apparantly there is a boost sensor on the manifold?

Always a good idea to clean the MAF and Throttle-Body when the car is running crap... Clean the EGR too using the same procedure :)
