The switching between the modes is actually affecting your transmission as the transmission is adapting to your power while driving. It learns what shift pressure needs to be applied depending on a few input parameters. When switching the modes, the transmission needs to learn again, and your shift quality varies. So best would be to leave it at a power level. Just FYI.

Are you talking about Sport and Comfort modes? Or the Piggyback ECU?

@charliefrharper

5 ай бұрын

@Aurora1337onYT The Sport and Comfort modes are considered by the transmission. The Piggyback ECU, on the other hand, is changing the torque, and therefore, the pressure needed to realize the shift times calibrated. That's not a big deal for the transmission as it can learn how much pressure needs to be applied. But that happens over time. When you often switch from the 184 to 240 map and vice versa the transmission needs to adjust every time. Until it's finished your shift quality will be altered.

@mrnihad170

5 ай бұрын

You have a point, but with BMW in particular it's not that big of a deal, as it has multiple programms re-configed already Normal, Sport, Sport+, so if you have a 2 or 3 additional power-map modes it would be recommended that your drive in Normal the lowest power and in SPort or Sport + the highest power map.

@charliefrharper

5 ай бұрын

@mrnihad170 The standard maps won't affect the adaption of the transmission as the transmission has its own shift parameters for each of them. The transmission is not aware of the altered engine performance of that Piggyback tune though and therfore always needs to readapt. If you have a proper ECU Tune, the correct torque is still provided on the can and the pressure maps will still fit.

Love the wagon shape but honestly pre owned you’d rather save the headache and get a 335i/340i.

Inderdaad. Het is op véél vlakken merkbaar, doorheen het gehele interieur en bij alle nieuwe modellen. Ook zijn er bepaalde zaken optioneel geworden die in de vorige generatie(s) of in de pré-LCI standaard waren. Ik ben best teleurgesteld in de kwaliteit van m'n 2023 G20 LCI, met als veruit het meest irritante punt het Harman Kardon sound system. Ik heb zowel de pré-LCI G20 met HK gehad als nu de LCI G20 met HK en het verschil in geluidskwaliteit, basvolume en totaal volume is gi-gan-tisch. Zozeer, dat ik binnenkort toch even naar de garage ga om te kijken of er iets mis is (ik vrees van niet). Als die-hard muziekliefhebber is dat iets wat me echt énorm stoort. Ik denk dat ik binnen een paar jaar voor m'n volgende wagen, voor het eerst in 25 jaar (om de 3-5 jaar een nieuwe, dus al best wat exemplaren gehad) naar andere merken ga kijken, tenzij BMW zich herpakt

These F30/F31 320i's can be much faster. Had an JB4 on my F30 320i (one of the early cars with the N20 engine) and did 0-100's in about 6 seconds. Speedlimiter was still there (240 on the counter was about 230 real). Big disadvantage with the JB4 was that the car was very picky on fuel. 98 was a must and ever then it sometimes cut power, 102 was without problem (but expensive and pretty difficult to find). I would prefer a real chiptune with these cars., they get a little more than 330i power out of these (~280hp).

If you will catch a sleep stream from an other car you can pass even a little bit the speed limit

I’m surprised this car has 240 horses and can only hit about 230. I once did 230-235 on the speedo with a 1.5 TSI Allspace Tiguan, with 7 people in it! That actually surprised me to my core. Took it’s sweet time to get there but it did! Considering it only had 150 horses and should be worse in terms of power to weight ratio, especially considering it’s an suv and quite heavy as well. I’m just surprised this BMW can’t do more. I recently also drove a Cupra Formentor2.0 TSI 4x4 And it definitely feels and seems faster then this 320i, despite it only having 190hp. I think that any 4 cylinder combustion engine built by the VW group that you find in normal consumer cars, not performance, arebetter all around then anything 4 cylinder BMW brought on the market and it’s surprising because the M cars they build are the best and just great all rounders.

We don't get a say in what any luxury brand sells to us. They do what they assume will sell, and in recent years I think BMW has gone in the wrong direction. The younger generation in China likes their gimmicks but these people will gravitate towards domestic EVs or Tesla. People who buy German cars mostly want classy looking vehicles. As a Chinese consumer I am as much disappointed in recent BMWs as anyone and I wouldn't be the only one here in China. So please, blame BMW for not doing proper market research because I think the new 7 series and XM will flop in China big time.
