I felt that my 320i has under-perform recently. Pick up slow...

;(
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

install velocity... pick up will increase alot. :)
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

elaborate and where can i get it done?
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

initially pick up ok and recently pick up underperform ?
did you slap on heavy rims recently :lol:

sprintbooster, velocity, pivot 3-drive, all are throttle booster to make your accelerator more sensitive resulting better pick up. no increase in power hor.
check out j4c, boss motorsports, bvo, etc

i did replaced my rims with heavier rims but it was quite some time back. but i felt that recently the car got less power. ;(

how about ecu tuning? will it result in the horsepower?

Time for a M3 :)
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

yes i think it's time for a regular servicing.
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

sometimes could be the oil....tried using OWS NA racing last time but after 5000km, feels like shit, damn sluggish.
had to dump the oil and change a new one

when was the last time u changed your engine oil? what oil were u using?
might be the oil.

The last time was a mth ago servicing at PML.

Could it because before the servicing, the engine oil light flashes but i didnt change and went overseas, i serviced my car after my overseas trip which was last month.

Will it be engine problem?

Re: 320i under-perform recently.

It has to do with engine oil. I changed mine and car became alive again.
 
Re: 320i under-perform recently.

Engine oil is definitely one reason. However it could also be other reasons. Such as dirty air filter and/or spark plugs, car heavier due to add ons. It is also normal that engine output deteriote over time due to wear and tear etc.

Between ecu reflash and sprint booster etc, I will choose the former cos it gives you absolute power gain whereas sprint booster only improve your throttle response. I have done both for my previous and current car respectively and feel that ecu reflash is a more value for money mod. That's my personal opinion. If you want good pick up, drive in sports mode. Should be good enough.

Reflashed 318 gains more than a reflashed 320.

Under-performing? What have you been feeding it? Diesel?

been feeding Vpower. shldnt be petrol..

most likely is engine oil.

planning to do ecu tunning and sprint booster.. spark plug, air filter all change at once.. any recommendation at where?
