Tuning the BMW 3 Series

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

Read our tuning guide to the 3 series BMW and avoid the common pitfalls and address the weakspots. In particular the Ultimate Driving Machine really kicked things off in 1985 with the E30 M3 which was produced as a race car for the road.

Tuning the Renault Laguna

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

The Renault laguna was a good attempt at creating and affordable and comfortable executive car. It was clearly aimed at a wide audience with a massive array of engine option, even from its launch date.

The former is easier to tune up with a simple tune/remap and sports exhaust and induction kit offering a boost of around 40bhp.
