This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as moderate, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the transmission is many variants use zf 8-speed automatic (where fitted). at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.
