BMW G20 3 Series BLUESPARK Tuning!

[@Golfr2020]

I aggree. I had a Bluespark on my Abarth 124 Spider with significant gains observed on the dyno test. When I bought my Golf R I opted for the same tuning Box. It does work and I am also happy with the gains on my Golf R now sitting on some 335hp

[@MrBulletpoint]

You've made your beautiful car look like a vauxhall calibra from the back

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Hahaha....thanks bro...I do miss the calibra though.

[@Ephilly-rz2pb]

I’m confused! Here in the states the 330i x drive is 255 hp stock with 295 torque…how is this different with yours?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Mine is a 320d 2.0 diesel rather than a 2.0 petrol. In the UK we have a 320i which is a 2.0 petrol with 185hp and 300-ish Nm torque and a 330i, same 2.0 petrol with 255hp and 400Nm torque.

[@Ephilly-rz2pb]

@@DownShiftThrottle gotcha! Thanks for the reply 👍🏻👌🏻

[@sonapb2580]

Your car is lit AF

[@boigoe]

What do u think on the upgrade and on fuel economy...I have a 330d xdrive m performance g20 its fast but I wana make it slightly better...wat do u reckon on blue spark and ur own opinion on ur car please

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Good bit of kit. Works well. 320d is brilliant on mpg anyway so no complaints. Check out my 3 series tuned vid for a more in depth driving review of the Tuning box

[@FinancialFaiz]

how does this affect the warranty?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

All will be explained in my next vid coming up tomorrow

[@FinancialFaiz]

@@DownShiftThrottle I guess I will have to subscribe to your channel to get the notification then!

[@bernards1981]

Hi mate are you going to do a video detailing how the car performs driving after you've had it tuned?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Will do hopefully this weekend....

[@BAMBAMii95]

@@DownShiftThrottle is the video out yet? I can't find it.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Not done vid as in Lockdown

[@BAMBAMii95]

DownShift Throttle oh right, I ask because that was 2 months ago

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Don't worry it's on the list. Rest assured it's a decent tuning box with noticeable gains. Proven on the dyno before and after.

[@dunaigeorge7264]

Can i ask lf do a remap or the same think what you done i gonna lose my warranty on my g20 320i ?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Remap yes. Tuning box no. Tuning box is a plug and play. Take it off when it goes in to dealership. Leaves no trace on ECU. Remap changes the ECU settings. Remaps can also be removed but not as a DIY

[@JordRides]

Hello, could you please explain where you put your bluespark once fitted? And how you have your cables tied up? Would really appreciate a picture? I have you on Instagram would really appreciate it, just got my car Saturday and have ordered a bluespark today 😁 thank you, also an update would be nice on how the car is doing/performing, any more problems since the last break down? Cheers

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I'll message you on Instagram.....

[@MrAndrei4777]

I'm also looking to chip my g20 but I'm afraid that I will loose factory warranty

[@SunnySingh-fd8wn]

Andrei Pashkov warranty is blown now :/ also BMW finance cancel your PCP etc if you mod your car. No hope nowadays with new cars

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Not on pcp mate

[@SunnySingh-fd8wn]

DownShift Throttle I was commenting generally not on your car 👍

[@Kimxtee]

So does it mean your factory warranty ie now void even with a plug and play module?

[@MrAndrei4777]

@@Kimxtee I was asking the same question. I think they can see even if you remove the module before servicing that the motor was functioning beyond its factory configurations/limitations

[@andreasdemetriou5097]

how is the economy affected

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I'll do a vid on economy separately and a full in depth review of the bluespark box on the car. I can tell you that the mpg has improved as you're not constantly going heavy foot with the gas pedal....

[@rajjy1976]

Man, Bluespark are mileage from where you are! Why you choose them in particular? 🤔

[@DownShiftThrottle]

It's all worth it mate also wanted to see how the car performs on a 200mile journey down from Bluespark. It was a 450 mile return trip. I've experienced bluespark in my M140i and in a few other cars prior to my M140i. Has to be bluespark.

[@donaldduck2801]

That sideskirt on the door. Did you also pay 700 ( L/R) euro for that in England ?And does it protect that to doorbangs ? In netherlands you pay that. Redicules.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

No I think it was about £250 from dealers. It's a decal so protection is zero

[@Wickerman1989]

You've promised to show how did you fit the ecu box under the bonnet. It didn't look very promising :)

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I didn't "promise" anything. I'll show you on the next vid.

[@Wickerman1989]

@@DownShiftThrottle Apologies, no offence :) Great video and a great car!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

[@jacklucas8392]

why not get a 330d and be done with it? Instead of trying to squeeze more power out of the 2.0

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Errrr......why not squeeze more power out of 2.0d?

[@danwall690]

Because 330 is more expensive than a 320

[@demurgetroid]

Hi mate, Does this box come with various settings modes or just plug and play standard? If settings please can you advise which ones did you use or what the differences are? Also, Where and how did you finally clip the tuning box to fix its position? Don't think you got around to showing that :)

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Ah....the bluespark on petrol models has a few settings.....but on the pro diesel unit (on this one at least) theres one setting.....plug n play.

[@demurgetroid]

@@DownShiftThrottle hmm not sure about that as this is the reply from them about my 320D xdrive. "There are different settings on the tuning box. The fine tune Dip Switch (1-9 numbered dial) acts as a gain control for the box. This is effectively like a volume control: it makes the whole map's increase higher or lower, in the same way that a volume control makes a whole song louder or quieter. The "quiet" bits will still be "quiet", the "loud" bits will still be comparatively "loud", but the whole thing will be raised up or lowered down depending on the setting. The map settings (A-E Red Jumper) are more like changing the song. Each map is fundamentally different and has gains at different points in the rev range. On your 320D they could be described like this: Map A - Mild map mostly biased for fuel economy. The gains are mostly below 3000RPM. Map B - Moderate map biased for a mixture of fuel economy and torque. The gains are mostly below 3500RPM. Map C - All round improvement map with good, smooth improvements in just about everything. Gains are right the way through the rev range with no particular bias for any point. Map D - All round improvement map with more top end. Gains are right the way through the rev range but has strongest gains beyond 3000 RPM. Map E - Similar to map C, but with increased low end performance. Gains are right the way through the rev range. The best way to evaluate them is to test them for yourself, if you find that you like a particular map, it is probably best to tweak the numbered dial to find the setting on that map that works for you."

[@Golfr2020]

Yes it does. Top cover needs removing and move the clip over to highest setting number 4 for maximum gain. Obviously that is what I chose. Lol

[@3GAZAA]

Does the remap void the bmw warranty ?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Any modification will void warranty on that part of the car.

[@nismo4321]

I miss your m140i videos. G20 doesn't excite me. Good video. Keep up.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I had to move on from the M140i as I was getting a bit bored of it. The M4 seems a better car for me and the G20 for the channel at the moment. Hopefully soon I'll be doing some M140i content on some tuned ones!

[@kevosomaza7741]

M140?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Had one......check out older vids

[@dushenepaulusha7210]

Doesn’t the car need air flow when I the dyno?? I didn’t see any fans providing air to the front?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

There was a huge fan sat right in front of the car.....

[@datemike7706]

Is it the 320i or 330i?

[@djdafish]

Its the 320d.

[@jimmyjt16]

Poor increase. Other tuners are getting around 240hp and 500nm

[@DownShiftThrottle]

That's with perhaps a remap and fiddling around with your car for ages....this is a plug and play for a fraction of the money....also if it is the case of 240bhp and 500nm then really this is close enough....unless you want to chase numbers.

[@Mr330d]

DownShift Throttle Other tuners also claim stupidly high figures

[@djdafish]

Tons of remappers are claiming around 220hp/480Nm. There are also loads of boxes out there claiming stupid figures, but without any actual proof.

[@Mr330d]

Edward Fisher Like a box that rhymes with stallion speed 😂 Claims absolutely ridiculous figures . I’m using your CR tech box on my Auris D4D 👌🏻

[@USMAN123RAF]

DownShift Throttle blue spark is the worst tuning box tdi tuning increases power alot more

[@johnnycigarettes3325]

This will damage the DPF on a diesel I would have thought

[@djdafish]

It won't. It is designed to work in harmony with the DPF. Its not a resistor based smoke box.
