Chip Tune for 30d Engine

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has tuned their 30D engine? I mean the thing is fast enough in stock form... but in Australia tuners are able to go from 195kw --> 245kw and from 620nm --760nm!!!

I'm looking for one too. Just got and X7 30d and wouldn't mind a extra boost in performance.

Which tuner are u looking at that give u 195kw to 245kw?

I was thinking of using piggy back box first while car in warranty rather than remap esp for a brand new car. If something breaks, it usually happens in the first few years so warranty is important in my view.

maybe look at racechip ? they likely have something for it and will retain your warranty. Ben from RG sport on these boards is a dealer, he will know

Subscribed for diesel tuning updates!

I have an M50d on order that I can't wait to squeeze some more out of.

A guy in London chipped his 30D last year. There is a post somewhere. He used TDI tuning, a company that makes a box very similar to Racechip. You can see them on YouTube. He returned it after a month or so as he said he had many errors crop up. I seem to remember Fuel boost over pressure, and a number of others. Remember these error codes are logged in the cars history, so although bmw cant prove directly you added a tuning box, they have some idea from the history. Not sure if that would invalidate a warranty claim on the engine.

We can tune it no problem. We have tuned many of these all the way up to the quad turbo diesels.

Evolve-technik in Box Hill, Victoria can chip tune the G05 30D. http://www.evolve-technik.com.au

They have 2 work shops that are distributors/partners for them in Sydney:
- Peak Performance in Parramatta http://peakperformance.sydney
- Bavaria Cars in Gladesville http://bavariacars.com.au/

Looks like they have one distributor/partner in QLD:
- MR Tuning & Mechanical https://www.mrtuning.com.au/

Cost for the tune is AUS$1295 (this is drive in drive out cost)
The air filter is an additional cost, around AUS$180-$250 (Bavaria Cars will charge you for parts and labour while Peak Performance only will charge for the part, they wont charge you for the air filter install)
The whole tune takes approx 2days

i havent done the tune on my G05 30d, but i have called and emailed both Peak and Bavaria about the process. im still thinking about it, maybe in a couple of weeks...
id probly go with Peak Performance in Parra

If you´re done with tune for 30d then pls write what do you think about...is worth in real life or not so much? I have been thinking about ECU tune for my 30d but main concern to me are factory software updates which will erase the tune

I got the RaceChip GTS piggyback tune for my M50d and I love it! I'm strongly considering ordering the same for the 330d I have coming this summer.

Any further updates to this?

Success stories or known issues for example.

Especially for those using local services in AU.
