- PendleHQ - BMW 435D / 335D Test Day
There has been much debate on a number of BMW groups over the past few months with some owners of these stunning vehicles being given fake / fudged Dyno Graphs that have massively inflated torque figures.
We held a Dyno Day just for the 435D & 335D this Friday just gone and credit to a young chap that brought his stunning 435D to PendleHQ that he fully thought was a true 805Nm (because he had been told this and also given a bit of paper showing 805Nm)
Not only did we dyno test it but the owner also allows us to datalog it to make sure it was correctly calibrated and in this video I’ve tried to explain the datalog and point out a number of things.
We do also have a full video of the Day being put together from a film crew that was onsite throughout the day (we should have the final video today / tomorrow)
People who know me within the tuning industry and also many customers know that I’m very straight talking (I call a spade a spade) i will also gladly help anyone out where I can be it customer or tuning company.
This Testing Day wasn’t aimed at trying to generate anymore work for PendleHQ as thanks to our customers we are always busy, the test day was to put to bed a debate that’s been ongoing for sometime.
Although many will say a Dyno is just a tool and yes you are right in saying this, but it’s a tool that requires operating correctly to use it to its full potential.
Some companies will fudge graphs to show inflated numbers in a hope to win more customers, personally I don’t think this is the case here. I think the case is that the Dyno Developments Dyno doesn’t safely dyno test these modern BMW X-Drive Vehicles and it gives fudged graphs (yes the dyno operator really should know this as he should know the ZF8HP Gearbox has a torque strategy and limitations)

(I’m happy to chat and help anyone please just call in working hrs)!
Martin knows what he's doing. He done 1 of my cars about 10yrs ago, best map I've had till today. Makes you go away for 90min should have gone in his gym next door
Loving this, the attention to detail and talk through was fantastic, and the figures were spot on.
Nice to see actual proven results at last. Well done Pendle 😎
Top job Martin as always. The devil is in the detail 👌🏼
What a great video and a superb watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For some reason I feel I must show this man some ID 😅
I see you have an xdrive. Do you or did you ever get a vibration in 5th gear at max torque. I have a US spec 2014 328d. I’m putting down approx 375 ft lbs to the wheels / 430 ft lbs to the fly wheel with a custom/modified Kerma tune. When you get on it at about 40moh when she’s in 5th there is a vibration. Quite a few high power 328d’s in the US report this issue. Wondering if you might know the cause? Was thinking flex disc but it’s new. I wonder if it’s the zhp tranny…
Awesome work as always :-)
Interesting very informative 👍
Such a beautiful car the F31
Does running the rpm in the red during dyno runs not risk causing engine damage or failure?
Is that safe for the engine, gearbox?
I'd love to know what 0-60 and quarter mile times that 435D gets!
It will be around 0-60MPH in around 3.8.
¼ mile around 12.5.
How many time do we reckon he said “none linked danooo” ?
So?
Hello mate, I’ve noticed these map to over 700nm so how does the 500nm torque limit on the gearbox work?
I think it's 700 what they are good for.
The ZF8 comes in different torque ratings, 500Nm is for the one in the petrols.
The gearbox in these 35xd are good for 750nm
Help if you can please? Just got mine mapped via Celtic tuning, just a flash map that was developed on their rolling road. Claims are around 400bhp and 750-800nm I have also had their gearbox software put on, is that torque figure possible or is the gearbox the limiting factor here? It says it’s a state of the art dynocom 4 wheel drive rolling road but that means nothing to me lol any ideas? Thanks
I had my 640d done by them. I reckon it's closer to 370 and 700nm
Update on this, I had mine on a rolling road day for curiosity, figured where 392bhp and 780nm
@@B88_f from Celtic? Guess mine must be the same ?
@@derekporter66 Celtic map but rolling road was WVS
@@B88_f mine did not feel much faster than stock. I have had quotes from NVM but this is making me change my mind. Do you have the graph anywhere ? Thanks
Total cost?
