The first ECU reflash for the BMW 335i that lets you keep the vehicle’s warranty has just been released by BMW tuner Dinan. The US$1,999 reflash gives you 384 horsepower at 5,700rpm and 570Nm of torque at 4,300rpm.
While the 3.0 litre inline-6 twin turbocharged engine’s new torque curve isn’t as flat as the original – 1,300rpm up to 5,000rpm, it’s a good 170Nm more than the original 400Nm. Horsepower is also up by 82, compared to the stock engine’s 302 (306 PS).
This is good news for those who haven’t jumped the Vishnu Procede ECU reflash software bandwagon yet, as that one will void the warranty on your car.
The only requirement is that the 335i in question needs to have an original BMW or DINAN oil cooler installed – some of them do (mostly manuals and sport-package equipped autos) and some do not, rather risky of BMW engineers to do for a turbocharged car.

FIRST…! but we will not see this in malaysia. i mean very rare
I’ve already seen a 335i in Taman Danau Desa
I think he mean a lot of ppl in here even have the car wont upgrade the ECU mapping… If i not mistaken, this should be very expensive when add in the oil cooler etc… besides that, some of them dare not to take the risk also…
will it affect da fuel consumption badly ?
throw a nice set of pipes at it and we’re lookin at circa 400bhp, and more torque than the new M3…..sick!!!!!
No limited slip to complete the package. What a waste. E92 M3 is a more complete package. An E46 M3 with lower hp and torque will go around corners faster than the upgraded E92 335i.
you have a point there gtaste, but you gotta remember, if one has a means to purchase one of these babies and spend up to +- RM7000 to reflash the ECU, and have means to foot the fuel bills, i think one can can shop around in the after market scene and splash on some serious dynamic-enhancement parts and could possibly mimic if not match the M3’s abilities. add to that a 55kg weight advantage over the M3 (especially over the front end), one can pose some serious threat.
already seen a few 3 series coupe all round KL … not a rare car… the kind of ppl doing this mod may consider FUEL CONSUMPTION is not an issue.. if they want good FC better buy another car.. they are call petrol head..
me too…already saw dis car alot…so..not rare at all…yup…fuel consumption is not d issue if sum1 want to do dis kind of mod…4 how long ar if they want to upgrade the ecu???izit to wait afew days or a week???
with some mods which is popular in other countries, this thing can beat the latest e55 amg.. see youtube vid
