Chipped BMW 118d vs. 320d Coupe

[geemachine666]

ive had both 118d and a 318 i and i prefer 118d for motorway driving but on the streets the petrol wins hands down lol although the diesel is quicker

[MrLaurentBeuk]

btw, een heel pak van de garantie van bmw vervalt nadat je je auto gechipt hebt.

hoe snel trekt ie op tot 100 na het chippen?

[curamrda]

let the 320d get chip and than it will be funny :-) :-) :-)

2.2 toyota desiel is aliuminium,, so are all 1995cc BMW desiels....

[PianoGuy550]

Hahaha "Ohw Jong" .

Enige problemen met slijtage sinds het chippen of loopt de 118d nog perfect?

[Fokko83]

deze is intussen perte totale.

mijn eigen 118d is ook gechipped, nog steeds geen problemen.

[Thachrissss]

Hello, zijn er geen problemen geweest met de gecrashte 118 na deze chipping ? (verzekering, enz...)

Ik heb dezelfde 118D dus interesseert mij dit ook wel ;)

Nice vid btw

[ViB33]

which tuner chipped the 1-series?

[Fokko83]

a local tuning company, CTH

Also don't forget that diesels tend to have 1 gear more than petrols, which throws the possibilty of going trough a torque (or horsepower)-peak one more time than petrols. Surely, they need to shift once more ... Take in mind, the "wider rev band" is a smokescreen, you cannot use it for going fast. Going fast = shifting at the correct time, not staying in one gear to show off how wide your rev. band is. The width does not really matter, neither does the amount of revs. HP and torque available.

[Markyboi1992]

@qwerty123456789jhdtg 6th gear is usually just a cruising gear, the 335d would prob do 140mph+ in 5th.

[qwerty123456789jhdtg]

Well, in fact, comparable diesel engines with LESS horsepower do take on petrols (with MORE horsepower), because of their much higher amounts of torque. You have to see what you compare, a 4-cyl. 2liter versus a V8 is not what you should do. Turbo lag ? Of course, but it is not mandatory to use the revs which cause turbo lag, you should look for usuable revs. Ironically, that is more a problem with petrol cars : wider rev bands, cause more difficulties choosing gears.

[infernogialloblu]

The high torque figures for diesels is a smoke screen (a dirty diesel one). When you factor in the turbo lag and the tiny weeny power band (because of the low revving), in the end it is much slower than the equivalent petrol. And at the end of the day, if you race a diesel on a track against the equivalent petrol, the petrol will outhandle the diesel because of the heavy lump the diesel has in the front and the infelexibility of using power through corners without gear changes. ;)

[Fokko83]

these aren't racing cars, just cars for daily use. If I could I would have bought a M3 and take my bike to go to work everyday :-) I get your point but this vid is just to show that you're easily able to get some better performance from the pre-facelift 118d.

[jat366]

@infernogialloblu UR clearly wrong, why do alot of touring cars, SEAT's etc have turbo diesels then? if they are inferior to the equivilent petrol....

[lucian81v]

@infernogialloblu

Just drive a 120d or 320d and after that talk about it. I can tell that you didn`t.

The power band is WIDER in turbo than in an aspirated and it`s not afected by the low rev, quite the contrary: high reving cars have narrow band power.

[infernogialloblu]

I want to know who that brave chap is at the start who stands inbetween the two cars holding a camera. Kudos to him for not shitting his pants. And since when have people started racing diesels? How pathetic is that??

[TedTempest]

what's so pathetic about racing diesels? BMW makes one of the best diesels in the world, just look into 335d (probably quicker in real life than 335i). Or what about all that LeMans winning Audi diesel cars? You are living in 1990s it seems and your idea of diesel must be a noisy clickityclack Mercedes W123 taxi car or Ford Transit minivan. the torque you get from diesel is hard to match. Only sound is lacking.

[infernogialloblu]

I suppose BMW diesel cars are ok...but you still can't beat petrol for performance. Supercars are nearly always petrol and diesels are fine for endurance races like Le Mans...but not "real" racing. You do realise diesel engines cannot be made with light alloys/metals liek aluminiun etc? They must be made of heavy, strong metals...so HEAVY engines. You do also realise that diesels don't rev very highly..6,000 RPM is a LOT for a diesel.

[weed46]

@TedTempest You were so tight until you said that the 335d would be quicker than the 335i...

[audiforumblog]

@TedTempest lm inlove with your comment!

[meedic]

@TedTempest absolutely right

[R32gang]

123d....204hp!!! ist better!!

[Fokko83]

thanks for sharing that captain obvious! what about the 135i? is that even better????

[lmerfu]

The 2007 320d has 163HP, not 177!

[Fokko83]

nope, really is 177hp.

you can also buy a 163hp version here in Belgium, which is cheaper in taxes...

this car however has 177hp. check the technical specs.

[liveobsession]

The 177HP is the 2008+ version of the 320D. 163HP is the previous model.

[Fokko83]

BMW started selling the E92 320d with 177hp in march 2007 here Belgium. at the time this video was shot, both cars were brand new.

so seriously, everyone, the 320d in this vid has 177hp, not 163.

[scrawler06]

pro vid mate , is it your personal car ? or did u find the video ?

[Fokko83]

actually this is a friends car... but the 118 has crashed & is totalled unfortunately :-(

I own a grey 118d M-sports...

[scrawler06]

oh really thats what im looking to get what reg is it on ?

[reartraction]

nice vid! usually the camera stay @ the starting point, and often you can't see the arrival...

[johnnyvnl]

Even voor de duidelijkheid, bhp is niet hetzelfde als hp...

[Bostel83]

Goan mé die beemer!

[arabrockerman]

can you buy the 118d in the u.s. ??

[Fokko83]

no I believe you can only buy the coupe and convertible 128i & 135i in the US.

[m5phil]

The 118d has 143bhp standard not 122

the latest one anyway.

[Fokko83]

latest version yes, 1st version has 122bhp...

[joselourinha]

teve dificil... ve o meu...

[CoolstartGO]

Wel leuk om te weten dat je een 118d kan chippen tot een vlotte auto. Want 122pk is wel schaamteloos weinig voor zo een sportief bakje

[schrijnie]

Hey mannen, is die 1 nu getuned?Volledig of gewoon ne box??Want ik heb de mijne bij auto tune heinz binnegedaan, heeft er nu +/- 160. Wa heeft die 1 en wa heeft die 320??

greetz,

pé

ps: post het antwoord maar bij mijn filmke, anders vergeet ik hier te komen zien ;)

greetz

[CoolstartGO]

Ik zou niet durven tunen met een box, chiptunen is gezonden voor de motor omdat je met werkelijke waarden werkt. Dus veiligheden springen op het juiste moment in werking.

Chiptuning kan opzich geen kwaad, maar je moet wel verstandiger met je motor omspringen, goed warmrijden, motor niet plots afgzetten na en zware rit, steeds met de voorgeschreven super fijne olie rijden, tijdens extreme hitte de motor niet zwaar belasten.

[dulakoglu]

no kick down voice or engine voice ??

[Mattvvvv]

haha =D Dus jij laat andere mannen met je bak rijden :o? =p

[Fokko83]

met mij achter het stuur bleek de eend een stuk sneller :p

[janmn]

die een gaat goed mee eh, wrs ook het verschil in gewicht dat doorslaggevend is, de nieuwe coupé is wel in orde toch

[Mattvvvv]

Aha, hier is dus dit filmpje! :D Mooi om te zien hoe krachtig de 1 is!
