Re: Where to tune?
I don't think you need to spend money on a custom ecu tune. For your car there are piggyback systems available which are more cost effective options and stealth. I don't have the names for the 320 but I used juicebox on my old 335. Check in with your friendly workshop but do your research first by roaming on the us forums like e90post.

Re: Where to tune?
IMO, no need to waste money on a custom tune for a street driven e90 320 when there are plenty of off the shelf options
custom tuning for a wrx, evo, etc is better because of the many different aftermarket parts people throw in.
However, most bmw drivers don't go beyond an exhaust and/or intake. These simple mods are normally catered for in piggy backs like juice box.

Re: Where to tune?
Seems that the initial respond here is to go for JB4 instead of custom tune for my 335. A buddy did his at BVO and were raving about the amount of power his getting. No before and after dyno though. So how much would the JB4 brand new costs? I was told that it has got 8 pre-set mapping. For a stock ride like mine, just curious, how much bhp increase can i expect from this simple exercise?

Re: Where to tune?
Well, you guys probably know the 318i is a de-tuned 320.
So, I up-tuned my second 318i by Alvin and Nick from Monster-Tune.com
Fresh from PML 1/12/2011 @ 11am, handed over to these guys at 12.30pm.
They took 4 hours of detailed tuning to the ECU program/data on the spot.
Really didn't want anyone to drop any aftermarket ECU program/data or simply load a 320 ECU program/data or any generic map.
Original data/program is specially tuned for my need for better throttle response and early power delivery.
Excellent results.
