I have my 125 mapped And it produces 275bhp with almost 400Ft-lb of torque! It certainly shifts. Mine has the ZF 8speed automatic gearbox which suits this engine perfectly
Dark side developments 125d project car hardly made 260 stage 1 with intake and downpipe, you may have inflated bhp numbers if you only have remap or they have cut out safety features.
@@nathanw8929 oh that's strange, I'll take your word for it tho, I was thinking of getting mine remapped. You should look at darkside developments 125d video's. They have a race set up which is pretty cool
This is my current dream car here in Italy They are still quite expansive with under 100k km, around 25k or more € I came from a punto abarth with 280hp but I tried a 125d lci with a soft remap to around 270hp and it feels 10 time faster because of the almost absent turbo lag and big torquw from the twin turbo and the zf8 gearbox is amazing, first four gears are very short and you are always around peak power For me main mods for any turbo diesel cars are egr removal, a more free flowing cat (200 celle are called here in italy) because if you remove it completely and with a very rich remap it would smoke and smell a lot, so remap it to someone capable Induction kit and intercooler are also a must because inlet temperatures are high as every turbo/twin turbo engine
If you don’t have the msport brembo calipers they are also a must have because stock single piston are too weak for this kind of power and mass, better pads and braided lines would help but they are not enough. Also suspension, stock bmw setup is too soft and “understeery” on the limit , you will sacrifice comfort a lot but for me is better to go with 17 or 18 inch wheels but with harder suspension Than you can go crazy with swaybars etc if you want to track it or you do some spirited driving around mountains
@@Project_n93 I owned a GT4 Celica, sold and a Seat Leon 1.9tdi FR. I hated the white van sounds. . Then when you can get 500 miles on a tank.. You love it 🤣🤣
Rare breed of bmw. Lovely car mate😃😬👍🏼

@@oliver3699 don’t know about that, but 2 independent rollers confirm 275 and it’s only a remap .

Thank you I will look into them and see what they done to car. I appreciate all the support and guidance

Thank you very much.. I will looking into this. Appreciate the comment and the advice 👍
@@LorenzoClara97 which induction kit do you recommend?
@@Project_n93 are you using a different air filter or induction kit?
@@Breadstar90 Sorry not induction kit but panel filter , k&n or look at Darkside performance and their ProRam filter
i have a 125d lci b47 m sport stage 1 its running about 275bhp.. well worth getting a stage 1,,
I have one and want to tune it but idk if it’s a good idea because it’s a used car with a lot of miles but still drives like new but I’m not sure
@@wolfqlf2287 it will be fine only a stage 1 if it is a b47 engine..
Hiya mate, what mpg do you get ?
I get around town 43mpg around town
@@Project_n93 is that including some sporty driving or just taking it slow and easy all the time?
No thats mix driving sometimes if I drive hard then it will go down quick !
If i drive sensible (which i pretty much do) I get about 51mpg-56 mpg. I just tap the peddle (its auto)
Ft lb not NM torque
Can take about a year to get used to the Transit van sounds ..🫶🏾
Mate I can't stand it 🤣
