Hey guys,
I’m thinking about getting the ECU on my 2017 220d Auto remapped because it’s a lovely engine and gearbox, but I feel I’d like a little more power. I’ve seen some pretty promising power and torque increases when I look around, but a little more googling and I find that some people have had little benefit from a remap, and others say that the Auto gearbox was giving some really nasty gear changes. Having said that, some people have said they got amazing results.
I thought I would hop on here and ask the question myself; how people have found remapping the ~2017 190bhp diesel with the 8 speed gearbox, whatever car it’s in (assuming they all react the same) please?
Cheers!

240-245hp and 400ft-lbs (550Nm) of torque here on F31 N47tu motor with the 8 speed auto and it's perfectly fine. The transmission works perfectly with it.
Of course it depends how good the tuner is. I have worked on my tuning keeping it in the same exact style factory did it, so I attribute that to why it works so well.
Unfortunately the tuning world is filled with sloppy work, which makes it harder.
