About remapping
The BMW X3 accounts for 1,394 files in our catalogue, dominated by the 2.0d four-cylinder diesel — badged 20d — with the 3.0d straight-six above it. It is a mid-size SUV that carries real weight, so the mid-range gains of a remap are readily felt.
Stage 1 makes up 1,211 files, with 267 EGR off, 160 speed limiter removals and 149 DPF off. The ECU range spans EDC16C31 and EDC16CP35 on earlier cars through to EDC17C41, EDC17C50, EDC17CP02 and the more recent MG1CS003.

Which X3 engine responds best?
The 3.0d straight-six offers the most headroom, but the 2.0d — the most common in our catalogue — also gains considerable everyday flexibility.
Is a remap noticeable on an SUV?
Yes, precisely because of the weight. The extra mid-range torque reduces the need to change down when loaded or towing.
Does it affect xDrive?
No. The work is done on the engine ECU and does not alter the operation of the all-wheel-drive system.
