I know there was an official product from BMW for the E9X 320D but is there one for the F30?

Thank you

Yes. Not cheap tho, and modest gains compared to the newer chips that can be done now.... Keeps your warranty though.

Hi
Yeah iv just had 1 fitted for a 330d and I'm happy. Check out threads on MPPK or PPK lots out there.
Not sure what the 320d gains are like but I like the difference on the 3d.
Also as above its approved and keeps warranty etc..

The best performance upgrade for a 320d is....... contact Tony Lewis and trade it in for a 330d or 335d!

The 320d is a very capable car. It is not rapid but it suits my needs completely. May be the people recommending a 330d should go and buy a 435d x drive or a 7 series. Stop hating on the smaller engines. Each to their own.

It's a great car, nippy and frugal - but I'm not a fan of the engine. It's refinement is short of the Audi equivalent. I love the car but ended up biting the bullet and ordering a 335d. Each to their own though

It's all relative, as long as you don't drive a 335d you'll be fine

Enjoy!
