Fantastic news for BMW 320d owners – with BMW Performance’s new Diesel Power Kit, you can now boost up your turbodiesel engine to 197 horsepower and 420Nm of torque, an increase of 16 horses and 40Nm. Best part is even with the additional power, BMW claims that your average fuel consumption will remain unchanged.
The BMW Performance Diesel Power Kit for the E90 320d includes a combination of hardware and software, unlike other third party tuning kits which usually just up the boost via a software update. BMW’s kit will provide you a new ECU with upgraded software tied to your car’s VIN number, as well as a bigger intercooler, a more powerful 600W electric fan, a new fan frame and a new plastic air guide. As this is an official BMW product, your warranty will be intact.
“Our fleet of BMW Advanced Diesel vehicles now account for more than 25% of the total vehicles delivered by BMW Group Malaysia. The vehicles have also played an integral role in our BMW EfficientDynamics strategy here and demonstrates our commitment in introducing Clean and Green technologies that perform remarkably well with the fuel specification currently available for the Malaysian automotive industry.” said BMW Group Malaysia managing director Geoffrey Briscoe.
Now if only the Performance Diesel Power Kit was available for the 520d as well, but I am guessing it’s something to do with the kit only being approved for cars with the 6-speed auto for now, as the F10 520d (available in Malaysia with an 8-speed automatic) can be fitted with the kit in Europe only if it has a manual transmission.
There are also a few new BMW Performance parts available to be specced onto your 320d or 320i. You can spec a set of BMW Performance front brakes, which are larger and more powerful. There’s also a new set of wheels available – the BMW Performance Style 269 which are 19 inch in size. For a sportier sound, you can install the BMW Performance Spor Silencer. For aesthetics, there’s a new shift knob with a new shifter boot, aluminium pedals, and sticker strips.
Here’s a price list of all the new BMW Performance items:
BMW Performance Diesel Power Kit – RM 6,800.00
BMW Performance Sport Silencer – RM 3,412.29
BMW Performance Selector Lever Grip – RM 668.18

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Now this is what I call a proper mod. Taking into account extra cooling and not just a simple remap. 7k seems worth the extra power. Shame on others who still hesitate on diesel engines with the outdated ‘fuel quality’ excuses.
Talking to you toyota,honda,kia,hyundai.
hyundai has the very nice 200 horsepower diesel Santa Fe here… you should test drive it, the power is very nice!
right paul!! when are u going to do a review? i own one and still thinking people not knowing the true performance of santa fe…
yes this is true, the R diesel beats even the german, but they should bring in more of it not just the Santa Fe but also for the Tuscon / ix35
yup, the tuscon has a tighter suspension so with the 200hp diesel it can be a “pseudo hot hatch SUV”
BMW Malaysia, where is your F10 twin turbo 2.0 petrol? Globally already selling but Malaysia, we still have the 9 year old N52 outdated engine. Got no time to update your engines but got time to bring in diesel performance kits?
Get your priorities right.
Nearly all F10 owners got conned lah. They were given an old engine in a new body. The car is EXACTLY the same as a E60. Biasalah, those who know about engines realise this. But most BMW buyers are loaded, so they are not really bothered about getting good value and getting the latest product.. Anyway, talking about diesel, why the hell BMW Malaysia not launching the 525d? Its the same engine as the 520d but with higher bhp and better 0 to 60. Also nearly same FC.
BMW Malaysia so kolot lah. I think they are scared to into the new petrol F10 2.0 cause, they cannot be selling it at RM383,000 as they do in the current F10 2.5. They cannot be giving the same excuse, blaming the government for higher taxes being a 2.5.
Hyundai already has turbo diesel engine many years back.
Talking to you Gavin
Stupid. Here in malaysia there’s only one diesel engine in their lineup with the most advanced technologies inside it
In europe their entire lineup of vehicles can be had with a diesel option.
Why not here?
u must know nothing bout diesel quality here right?
totaled all.. can buy new car
Agreed~ totalled up around RM55,000~~!
now this 20D engine is so tempting!!
7k for 16 hp?
Thats roughly about…420rm per 1 hp
Recessions…? What are people on about?
I know there’s 40 more torque but ideally the initial figure is more than enough so I exclude it from my logical scientific justification
Another reason is I want it to look urgently stupid n makes me look bright all at the same time
And the wheels..? 25k a pop?
What? Rolling stones come out n play for me?
After all this is diesel. A Satan work. Dressing it as priest, still it wont weep for Mary.
‘After all this is diesel. A Satan work. Dressing it as priest, still it wont weep for Mary’
sorry, but lost you there…
Diesel is lucifer
They don’t belong here in our peace petrol world
Well, at least old type of diesel engines..
Maybe a bit heavy on the Mary weeping thing.
I am just saying equip with all u want but it still a diesel
What’s so bad about diesel that u hate it so much???
did kidnapper paksa u drink diesel?
i have test driven the x1 2.0 diesel…good torque numbers but when i floored it, it didn’t feel very fast??? some setting that i failed to engage?
so with this kit, what’s the 0 to 100 numbers?
wow 6k for a new steering wheel. whats wrong with the standard one?
install that steering and ur car will up 10hp more… :p
25% of acceptance i see from consumers. Good numbers. The kit is reasonable i think based on the ratio to its car price. I wonder which manufacturer is testing their diesel here Malaysia as claimed by anthony before.. Hurmm
Whole package need 55k, so ‘cheap’ !
BMW mah… its memang for orang kaya only :p
The Range Rover is launching the new Evoque sometime end of this year. The spec and pricing and the image of the new Evoque could well threaten the BMW 3. Maybe that is why BMW is upping the ante on this one.
Evoque pricing is more like BMW 5 Series and X3 price.
I am guessing the price of the evoque to start from RM340k up and the fully spec-ed version going up to RM400k. Its a shame cause its the first range rover that I actually like.
Quotes from our previous story
http://paultan.org/2011/05/23/range-rover-evoque-to-arrive-in-the-fourth-quarter-this-year-salam-kuala-lumpur-campaign-launched-today/
To be launched here in the fourth quarter of this year, Land Rover’s latest product will be priced between RM300k and 400k. It’s a big ballpark, but Land Rover Malaysia will be trying hard to price it at the lower half of that scale.
Launched at last year’s Paris show as a three-door ‘coupe’, Land Rover uncovered the five-door version at the LA show – both variants will be brought to Malaysia. There will be two engine choices for us to choose from – a 240 bhp 2.0 litre Si4 turbocharged petrol engine with direct fuel injection and twin VVT, and the SD4 2.2L diesel engine with 190 PS and 420 Nm. The SD4 is already in Malaysia powering the facelifted Land Rover Freelander.
I heard from Range Rover salesman the Evoque 2.0 turbo petrol and 2.2 turbo diesel will be priced below RM350k, is that right ? Surely they can’t price it at RM400k, that would be competing with their Disco 4. So I presume the Evoque is around RM50k more expensive than the 3 on the average. Is a premium of 50k big enough a factor to deter potential 3 buyers to consider the Evoque?
30K pounds to RM400K, how good it is to get AP in Msia. Expect it will be flooded by AP holders.
I am expecting this as well. Most people will go for AP import.
Price of the power kit looks like a steal given how overpriced these bmw accesories usually are. I mean look at the other cosmetic stuff..
Who wants 325 anymore??
Haha those wheels cost a Viva.
Wonder does BMW offer a discount if i want all of those in one package
i think i can just about afford the decals… it’ll look good on my hyundai i10, no?
Warranty still intact with…… we appreciate BMW Malaysia, we love you. Unlike VW :-(
Au revoire… if you kit up ur VW with official ABT kit from FAst s/b, VW will honor it’s warranty!
KLBloke, mapping ABT itself warranty or VW 5 years warranty intact? Even those VW’s salesperson unsure about it and FAST not mention at all.
SaveTheEARTH, I remember reading from a mag recently but I’d forgotten which one… On The Road? Hypertune? other mags? Can’t really recall leh… sorry!
I’m not boasting nor trying to bluff here…
true to a certain extent. 5 year warranty from VW. but if you remap with ABT, warranty becomes 2 years (or 3 – i can’t recall exactly). so they are already telling you something about the remap.
ya agree…the power kit seems very resonably priced ….considering the car warenty will be intact as well….the others seem to be overpriced if u look at it on standalone basis…bt if ur buying the diesel 3 series which is around rm250k…thy dont seem THAT unreasonable…..
Agree. A simple brabus map for my ride costs around RM8k.
That is just a map. This includes a fan and other stuffs and its only for RM6.8k.
Agree RM 6k++ is a lot of money, but look at what u r getting.
A real big boy toy. Only big big boy can afford this price of mod. Anyone here can afford those?
I’d go for the engine power kit and also the sport brakes upgrade. Looks good value judging from the benefits.
I’ll pass on the other stuffs tho.
BMW Performance Strips – RM 670.13???
If I install the stickers only, will it give me extra hp oso??
sure mehh…
put M badge also add few HPs
If add sticker on a national car,everyone will bang endlessly! Why dun they bash BMW? DAMN BIAS!!
Too bad that is the reality. The grass is always greener on the other side
Really cannot wait to see the new 3 series.
now the bmw’s 2.0 liter diesel can match the hyundai slightly bigger 2.2 liter r series diesel…yes, all this power but honda insight like fuel consumption!..diesel rocks!
where got match maa??? try remap hyundai diesel and see what happen… r diesel was develop in germany as well
yes, it does. but at rm260k. ouch.
Dunno what BMW Performance Selector Lever Grip & Lever Boot are.. but it fit my viva x?
I’ve got a question. Why hasn’t proton implemented diesel technology to it’s vehicles? I like the new direction Proton is taking and it’s inspiring new confidence in the brand and the vehicle.
Any idea?
