BEST thing you can do to a 330d is a remap all day. Bigger turbo comes complication and requires a lot of time, effort and money.

Mart's figures sound about right

disappointing news , methinks , i was hoping to buy a 530d as i have heard they have the potential of great torque figures plus ? I'm currently running a saab 2l with a few mods @ 280 bhp and around 400Nm torque so used to a good powerful car. Word is though theres a whole lot more torque from a diesel engine, and more displacement means more power ? Any thoughts ?

Yeah, the way diesel motors work naturally gives it more torque. The 530d does not lack power, owww no BUT.. at the end of the day it is a diesel so expect a diesel lol with that in mind, it's not slow

I personally do not see the 530d as a "Turbo" vehicle. I don't see any diesel car as a turbo vehicle. I believe them to be a mandatory part of the engine that without it, it's practically useless.

More displacement typically means more power in any internal combustion engine, diesel or petrol. The 530d (E60 chassis) is a 3Ltr so no complaints in that department in my opinion B)

Really is a lovely car mate. Very desired model

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
