- This is my bmw e46 330cd Individual.
The car is estoril blue with individual cream leather.
It's the 204bhp model with 6 speed manual gear box. The car has hybrid turbo, full egr system delete, 3inch straight through exhaust system from the turbo all the way back, swirl flaps blanked, custom remap. I have a custom intercooler to go on very soon and maybe change the injectors for the 535d and it should be good for 360+bhp
Outside, the car has 19 inch wheels from the 6 series bmw, lowered on coilover, genuine m3 mirrors, CSL Boot lid, colour coded front grill, brakes painted yellow.
Thank you for watching my video!

Fair play that's without doubt the sexiest 330cd i have ever laid Eyes on
Mr330d thank you very much, that's very kind if you!
Sam I used to Have an Imola Red saloon 184BHP remapped to 235bhp so can only imagine how quick yours is My cousin bought a 2011 320d 163bhp 380nm surprisingly quick for a 2.0
Mr330d 100% agreed! This car is absolutely insane. The mods you have done are just amazing. Looks utterly timeless. Do you still have it? Instagram page?
@@DrStrange1000 thank you! No I don't have it any more, I had to sell it to make room for some other toys 😁. Saying that, I do miss this car as it had so much road presence and so rare to find a 330d coupe in estoril blue, I haven't seen another one. I sold it to a friend of mine.
@@Sam_AMG glad you sold it to a mate. Timeless in estoril blue. Hope to catch it at a London show this summer perhaps. 😊
absolutely incredible. saw your comment on the other guys vid and checked it out, and this truly sounds amazing.
jachob69 Thank you!!!
It surprises a few people as most people think diesel cars sound like tractors :)
Just thought I'd add..... last year I took this car around Europe and in Germany i tried to see what it could do as there is no speed limit in some places and it went off the clock. My wife was too scared to take a video or a pic otherwise i would have added it to this video but what impressed me was the way it pulled from 100mhp (160km) to 150+mph.
It's definitely fun to drive.
As much as I love my m3 and it's in a different league, I wouldn't say a tuned 300d is boring, they're very different cars but very good in they're own way.
Any comments or suggestions about the car are welcomed :)
I'm moving to Germany and am deciding between an m3 or building a 330cd. Would I even be able to delete a diesel like you did in Germany? Is it worth it? And would just choose the m3 anyway?
thanks for this insight! Im really thinking of one of these. Whats the Turbo fitment you made? Cheers from Portugal
Wicked car mate! Looking to do a straight pipe on mine, does it drone at all on motorways?
Thank you!
It was a bit loud at 70mph - 75mph but I wouldn’t say it would drone. At 80mph it was quite inside
@@Sam_AMG good to know mate! Last thing I wana do is all that work and hate it after a few months of driving ha. Cheers🤙
I thought "that car park looks familiar", then I saw Richmond Park.
I had to sell my 330cd years ago. I said "One day I'll probably end up buying this back off you", then 3 years later I randomly see it up for sale online, so I bought it back :) with only 80k miles
They are great cars! You dont seem many with 80k on the clock! You got a very nice car 👍
@@Sam_AMG Today I reversed out and the kerb tore the front bumper off :'(
Love it mate I’ve done the same on my 330d e46 I did a 400 mile motorway trip and got 63mpg perfect power economy combination. I had an e46 m3 before this and it averaged 22mpg so tuning a torqued up diesel monster is a great way to have the power and still use daily. Love the blue 💙👍
Chrisy Richardson Thank you! They're fantastic on fuel on the motorway. Haha you done pretty well to get 22mpg from your m3. When I take the m3 out I never see more than 15mpg 😆. Saying that the m3 has done about 200 miles in the last 2 years. It's only done 27k in total. I rarely use it
Hi Sam, the car sounds great 👍 where did you get the exhaust system ? I am currently building an E46 Touring 330d and have all the mods done just trying to make a decision on the exhaust system..
CM Autolink Dublin Thank you! I had the exhaust done in west London from Styledynamics. Quite a bit far from you. They make the exhaust on the day. From what they've told me, they don't like making exhausts and sending them away in case the fit is not good. That's why they want their customers to drop the car off. Great guys and they do a really good job!
Sam thanks for the reply - yep a bit far from me, there are a couple of similar companies here in Dublin doing similar jobs I have been onto them this week so just have to make a decision who to go with, but I think leaving the car in with a specialist to have a custom exhaust built to suit the car mite be the best option - just don’t want anything too loud that it will annoy me when driving ! Again thanks for the reply & lovely E46 you have 👍
Mate, your car is a complete beast. Makes me wish I still had my 320cd... Would've put a hybrid turbo in it, if I had the money to :(
If your car is Euro4 than you shouldn't change your injectors for getting 360bhp
Tato Oikashvili thank you, that's good to know. To be honest 360bhp is more than enough.
I think the wheels need to be changed next as they are very heavy and I'm sure they effect the performance.
Amazing colour on that beauty beast !
Can you please tell me how many seconds was your 0-100 km/h ? Looking forward on my 330cd project 😍
Thank you!
I never timed the 0 - 100 km/h when I had the car so I couldn't tell you. All I can say though is that when you start tuning your 330cd, you will love it! It becomes an animal! Good luck with your project 👍
Hi mate, Do you have a facebook or instagram? I would like to know more about your 30d. Cheers
P krisz_346
Hello.
No I don't have Facebook.
What would you like to know? If you need any ifo just let me know and I'll reply here.
Cheers
Sam hello sam , i have a e39 530d with 184hp i woul like to know which mods i have to do to be close to 300 hp thx
@@G_STYLIN hello. I'm not too sure what you'll have to do to the early 3.0l diesel engines to get it close to 300bhp as from what I've read the early 3.0l diesel bmw engines are a bit harder to get more power. I guess, bigger turbo, intercooler, exhaust and custom remap should get you to 300bhp
Sounds and looks mint mate! What exhaust mods have you got on there mate? I got a 330d estoril blue and I’m looking to make mine sound like this !!
boardmand Thank you! The exhaust is custom made. It was done by style dynamics in Hayes (london) it's a 3 inch straight through from the turbo all the way back. I would leave at least one cat (they have 3 cats) as with the new mot laws it must have a cat fitted and I will get one fitted to mine next week
What turbo is on this?
Mate the car is fantastic! Such tasteful mods. Wicked. Derv Tech on the tune?
Top 3 E46 diesels in the country NO doubt.
DrStrange1000 Thank you very much for the kind comment! It was mapped by bw chiptune in Hayes London.
Sam You’re welcome. You’ve made the e46 timeless. Wicked, I know Jason and the gang at ChipTune. Lots of mates taken their motors their. I’m in SW london myself.
How you managed the black smoke? There's almost none.
It really had a great engine this car, it run perfect! The main thing not smoking though was the remap, the car was put on the rollers and it was mapped according to the mods I had done to the engine. Normally a bad map would make a diesel car smoke a lot or if its mapped in a way that it over fuels
@@Sam_AMG Thank you for the response! Keep it up!
Porque no hecha nada de humo negro? Y esta modificado de motor. El mio tambien es un 330d y suelta bastante
Thats really nice..im impressed 👊🏾
Thank you! I've sold this car now. Last I saw it, it didn't look in the same condition 😔. Still went well and sounded great but it was a little rough bodywork and interior. Shame really as I put so much money and effort into this car
What's Hybrid Turbo?
Nick OttantaTre A Hybrid Turbo simply means a non-standard or potentially upgraded turbocharger. This consits of a turbo with combined parts from different frame sizes and potentially different manufactures, such as Garrett or BorgWarner to make the ultimate performance turbo. Increasing the boost pressure also increases the internal loading within the turbocharger, and often requires a change to the bearing system usually incorporating a 360° thrust.
I just copied this as it ex0lains it better than I would have 😁
what clutch are u using? and for what size turbo size after hybrid
Can I ask what clutch and flywheel you have in this? I have just had mine mapped. (I have the same model) It ran 268bhp and just over 400lb ft of torque on the dyno but one week on and the clutch is slipping horrifically! The BMW specialist where I had it mapped (by an external company) said that a new genuine clutch and flywheel will definitely handle that much power, he said he has had some over 300bhp and the genuine clutch was good. I also asked him for a quote on the uprated parts so just wanted to ask you what you had as yours is a beast!
Hello
I had the standard clutch and flywheel. The clutch was changed about 15.000 miles before I tuned the engine and the car has done a further 30.000 miles or so with 300bhp and it's absolutely fine. I never had any problems putting the power down and in the time I had it I drove the car quite hard, I just never redlined the car in 1st gear but from second gear and above I would floor it all the way to max and never had any issues. I've sold the car to a friend of mine and he drives it every day and hasn't had any issues with the clutch. The only thing that lasted a year was the prop shaft doughnut, 300bhp was a bit too much for the doughnut 😁
Maybe your clutch was coming to an end and with the extra power it fastened the wear but once you change it I don't think you'll have any problems going original clutch again.
I do miss this car sometimes. It had so much road presence and so rare to find another 330d coupe in estoril blue. The video doesn't do the car justice how it sounded, people didn't believe me when o used to tell them it was a diesel.
Thank you for getting back to me so quick! Yeah I think my dual mass was very close to dying and the map has been the nail in the coffin. I think I'll get a new standard clutch and dual mass as you and the bmw specialist both said it will be fine! Thanks again
How much ftlbs of torque was this BEAST pushing? 😁
Hello!
I'm embarrassed to admit it but I have no idea now as it's been a while 🤦♂️. I have pics in my laptop of the dyno print out. I'll have a look and get back to you 👍
I like what I'm seeing man, good stance/functional, nice interior blue/yellow combo, good exhaust note aswell for a diesel and the immaculate paint job on it is superb !
Only thing I'm not about is the wheels, but hey - it's a taste thing and everyone's got their own.
Anyways - I'm looking to buy one of those e46 300cd sweeties but I'm horrified by the famous Subframe tear/crack/rip and I do want to ask you if you have done anything to reinforce your subframe, has it had the need to be done at all and if you have done it - what kit did you use/ how does it hold and etc ? I'd be really appreciative if you could please share your experience :=)
RiSER DimitroV Thank you! Haha you're not the only one that feels that way about the wheels. People either loved them or hated them, there was no middle 😄. To be honest they grew on me, they stuck out perfect as the arches were pulled and I tried the wheels from my m3 and they didn't stick out far enough. That was the reason why I left them on. I did think of CSL wheels too but I then sold the car so there was no point to change them.
As for the rear subframe, all e46 bmw's suffer with that problem, especially m3s. I have two e46 M3s and also when I had the blue 330cd, i didn't have any issues with the cars, the 330cd was very solid car but it's a matter of time as it cracks on all of them unfortunately! There is a place in London that welds plates and charges £750, one of the best prices out there as some people charge over £2000. The place that charges £750 is called ETA Motorsport. If you're going to tune your 330cd I would recommend to get it done as there's so much tourqe going to the back wheels.
If you have any other questions just ask.
Thanks
Sam
Can you tell me who done the mapping on your car
It was BW Chiptune in London
Que color es este how blue is this please
Estoril blue
Did you run single mass flywheel mate?
No, it was the standard one. Last time I saw the car it had done over 40k since I had tuned it to 300bhp and still going strong in the original clutch/flywheel
@@Sam_AMG just picked mine up today running 390 hp and 824nm with a SMF built by mates garage and I cannot keep smiling. If you drive sensibly its got good mpg too. Only thing is smf is really chirpy and below 1000rpm sounds like its about to fall apart...
@@j.f.4765 WOW, that must be super quick! I thought mine was quick but nearly 400bhp! I remember a forum member on a m3 website used to have an e46 330cd tuned to 400+ bhp and an e92 M3 and he said the 330cd destroys the M3 in a straight line. You're going to have a lot of fun in that car. Enjoy in good health 👍.
As for the flywheel, I have read that they sound quite loud on idle but there isn't anything else out there that can take that sort of power.
It would be nice to see a video of the car if you get a chance. Sounds like it's a beast of a car!
What is the name of the car's turbo ?
Hello. It's the original turbo, not sure what they are called. The turbo shop then turn the original turbo into a hybrid turbo.
@@Sam_AMG Thanks :)
Great build! How did you achieve the lack of smoke?
Thank you! I think it was all due to the mapping. Credit goes to those guys as they had the car for 2 days and I was surprised myself how it didn't smoke. Crazy thing was that it was straight through exhaust too and youd think it would smoke. Maybe it was also my style of driving? I used to drive the car "very" hard all the time, I didn't abuse it but I wouldn't change gears at 2000+rpm either 😄.
Many diesel cars smoke heavily even if not tuned due to the style of driving some people have.
@@Sam_AMG Thanks for the reply!
Is this running an updated clutch? Or how is the standard clutch coping with the torque? Gona be doing this next year myself 👍🏻
gary halpin it has the standard clutch and it's done over 25k since the car was tuned and it's still good. I think as long as you don't floor it too many times in 1st gear it should last. I rarely go to 4000rpm in first gear. Once its in second gear that's when all the fun begins 😁
Hello, is your cat box there in the down pipe? Or you removed the cat and welded a pipe?
Ruzbynen ♕ GAMING! ♕ Hello
Everything was removed, straight pipe from the turbo all the way to the end.
I sold this car over 6 months ago now ☹. I needed room for my next project.... I do miss it sometimes
@@Sam_AMG was the 3 inch str8 pipe a single pipe or 2 pipes?
@@kevincerin3618 Hello,
It was a single pipe
Regards
Sam
@@Sam_AMG sorry i just saw this answer,so its was a 76mm down pipe,into a single 76mm pipe all the way to the muffler and then just 2x76mm tips?
