New Guy with a Car

[SamUK]

Hi All,

Recently sold my remapped BMW 535d...

Just got e self a e320 - 2006 though a 2007 face lift model..

Sport cdi, with paddle shift, fully loaded..in blue..

I love it!

Questions:

Where can i buy a rear boot spoiler from and how much are they?

What W number is my car, as i see them being referenced to as as this..?

My car for some reason sits higher at the front then the rear (you cant see this in the picture above) - is it worth lowering or should i not bother...?

Is it worth getting remapped?

Sam

Congratulations & welcome to the forum. Your E320 would be a W211. As it's a diesel then yes a remap is well worth looking at. Quite a few members here have chipped E320 CDIs...

thanks..yep its a 320CDI

the car feels very quick as it is..i was thinking could it already be mapped...should i get on a rolling road before going to get mapped to confirm? or is there another way of finding out?

Welcome to the forum.

Try and find a second hand Brabus D6 tuning box, it gives you an extra 48bhp and is the only 'tuning' box recommended by Mercedes.

They are about £1400 new, but you get them on eBay for £400ish at times.

I had a Brabus spoiler on my E320 CDi Sport which was already fitted, but it never quite looked right IMO.

I'd have thought a mapped 535d would be significantly quicker than a standard or mapped E320

(wrong forum area also, would have been better posting in the General area)

Nice looking car. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. Car looks level to me!
If you have air suspension, lowering is easily done, but i'm getting old and couldn't recommend it any more.

Welcome to the forum too...

I would go for a "Performance" remap from a reputable tuner opposed to a tuning box.

MSL Centre can source and supply German bootlid spoliers and body kits etc. as well as remaps - PM "Brabusk8" (he owns MSL) or get in touch with Carlson who also do the same but are alot more expensive on comparison.

Are these the standard sports wheels on my car?

rear tyre is a 265 and fronts is 245 (18")

what air pressure should be going in? if anyone knows?

I dont think it is air suspension...
