N57 430d tuning options?

Besides the PPK kit and ACS, are there any other reputable tuning options available for the 430d ?

You have referred to this company several time in various posts - what system do they employ, how much r&d has gone into it and how many people do you know that have had a fitted successfully for a significant duration?

So in summary, what makes this a 'reputable' option?

I believe I posted on one other thread and was trying to be helpful, sorry if that was also your thread.

I don't know what system they employ on this model but believe its a remap not a tuning box. I have never used them before and as the ECU codes have only just been cracked very few people have a remaped F series car at all.

That said based on 10+ years on various forums (BMW,MG,Audi, Jaguar) they do have very good feedback indeed. They also offer an economy remap or full power remap, a bit different to most companies.the good customer feedback in my opinion makes they reputable but as with any tuning there is always risk involved unless you go PPK or ACS and keep the warranty intack (at a price)


I won't be tuning my 330d as its already traction limited in all but ideal conditions. I did however tune my last one with good results. If I was going to I would go with the economy remap and have more power and mpg without pushing the engine too much.

Good luck with what ever you choose to do.
