Overview

Two Engines. One Outcome.

The BMW F Series 20d comes with two different engines. Pre-2015 models generally carry the N47 engine, available in two power levels — the 163 BHP Efficient Dynamics and the 184 BHP version. Post-2015 cars use the B47. Both engines are paired with either the 6-speed manual or the 8-speed ZF8 automatic transmission.

N47 Engine

Industry-Leading N47 Results

We have tuned in excess of 500 N47 engines at Stages 1 & 2. Our extensive R&D on this platform has led us to achieve industry-leading power figures, delivering fast real-world performance while maintaining long-term reliability.

N47 — Stage 1 Tuning
Stage 1
Stage 1 tuning requires no mechanical modifications. All factory emissions systems are left intact — the car remains fully MOT compliant with no visual modifications.

N47 — Automatic Only
ZF8 Gearbox Tuning
The ZF8 transmission is controlled by the Getrag TCU. In stock format the box works well, but we can transform it to behave in a much sportier fashion — improving shift points, shift times, gear display logic, and the maximum torque limiter. These boxes are easily capable of reliably handling 900 Nm of torque.

B47 Engine

Modern B47 Platform

Post-2015 F Series 20d models use the B47 engine. This modern platform responds excellently to tuning, with Stage 1 delivering similar headline figures to the N47 while maintaining all factory systems.

BMW 320d — Live Dyno Run

Our Equipment

V-Tech 4WD Linked Dyno

X Drive Safe — Mechanically Linked Dyno
BMW's X Drive system cannot be safely run on a standard non-linked rolling road. Damage to the transfer box will result. We see many companies unplugging transfer boxes or disabling the 4WD system via software — this is far from ideal and often produces massively over-read torque figures. All our 20d tuning is conducted on our X Drive-safe 4WD linked dyno.

No matter what stage of tuning is selected, all cars are custom tuned on our mechanically linked (X Drive safe) 4x4 rolling road. Before any tuning work commences, your car is placed on the rolling road, full diagnostics are carried out and data logs taken to establish the health of the vehicle. DPF regeneration and minor adaptations are all carried out before tuning where required at no additional cost.

Our V-Tech 4WD Linked Dyno is specifically designed to handle the most complex and demanding systems, including X Drive. This ensures accurate and precise tuning for your vehicle, maximising performance and efficiency. Every vehicle is unique — our team of expert tuners is dedicated to delivering the best results for each customer.

What Our 320d Owners Say

BMW 320d (F30)
★★★★★
Had the Stage 1 remap and xHP gearbox done together on my F30 320d. The difference is night and day. Pulls properly through every gear now and the shift speed is unreal. Pre-tune health check flagged a minor fault I had no idea about. Sorted before tuning at no extra cost.

★★★★★
Travelled from Sheffield after seeing DC Remapping recommended multiple times in BMW groups. The 4WD dyno setup is impressive, proper equipment. Car went from 184bhp to 228bhp on the day. Fuel economy on my motorway commute has noticeably improved too.

BMW 320d xDrive (F30)
★★★★★
Really glad I went with DC Remapping over a generic tuner. The xDrive-safe dyno was the deciding factor for me, lots of places either refuse to do xDrive cars or unplug the system which defeats the point. These guys do it properly. Power gain is exactly as described, car feels completely transformed.

BMW 320d (F30) N47
★★★★★
Had the N47 Stage 1 done last month. Was a bit nervous as the N47 has a reputation but the guys clearly know this engine inside out, over 500 tuned speaks for itself. Car pulls 490nm now and feels like a different machine. Would not hesitate to recommend.
