Pics of my X3 2.0d M Sport

[Kiernan]

Just registered and thought I'd post a few pics of my X3. I'll pretty much let the pictures speak for themselves, but it's a 2007 facelift model which I've had for just over a year. Excellent car, and other than wishing it had a bit more grunt (and that's with an ECU remap to around 190bhp), it does everything I could ask of it.

Enjoy:

Very nice.......... We have an 07 3.0si....... I have got to get my wife trained to drive a manual because the X3 would be so much better with the manual instead of our jerky slush box.

Hello,

Just registered and noticed your excellent pictures. Two months ago, I purchased the same model (jul 2007) but in black. I am interested in the ECU remap you have mentioned - did you purchased a new ECU or just remap the existing one? did you use an authorised dealer ? is it worthing the modification - and finally could you specify cost?

thanks

ijordan, I went to one of the many specialists that we have in the UK that undertake ECU remapping. This was done by simply plugging in a laptop, copying my existing (factory) map, and then uploading a revised map from the generic maps, that they have , and hey presto. It's not approved by BMW, but then most manufactuers frown on this sort of thing.

I would say that it's a worthwhile modification from the right dealer - I used a firm based in Bromsgrove called Chipped UK, but they seem to get a lot of bad publicity, so I probably wouldn't recommend them, but there seem to be plenty more firms out there.

The cost was £235 which I thought was fair considering the extra performance.

By the way, the car's now been sold, and has been replaced by something a wee bit quicker......
