Got my little 118d F20 remapped. Stock 150hp, now 190hp and 380nm. Doesnt sound like much but the car feels completely different. Overtaking on the highway is so much easier now.
Best part? Fuel economy actually improved by about 0.3L/100km because I dont have to floor it as much. Win-win.
Nice gains on the 118d! Small diesels respond really well to tuning. The percentage gain is often higher than on bigger engines.
The 118d is a great commuter car and stage 1 makes it even better. The N47/B47 engine goes from 150hp to about 190-200hp with a remap. More importantly, the torque increase (from 320nm to about 380nm) makes a huge difference in daily driving. Less downshifting, easier overtaking, and the fuel economy actually improves slightly because you dont need to rev as hard.
