vectra cdti v e60 530d

[jonny22]

I have a mapped vectra cdti, 194bhp and 300lbft, I like the car anf it goes quite well for a heavy diesel but I'm really used to the power now. I'm in 2 minds whether to sell up and buy a e60 530d and get it remapped to around 270bhp and 450lbft of torque or keeping the vectra and going down the route of hybrid turbo, intercooler updated injectors etc.

With the above mods would the vectra ever be as quick as the 530d and how much would it cost to get to this level of tune,

Or should I just sell up and get the bmw?

sell it, get a 3.0 v6 cdti vec and get it mapped

If I was going to sell the vectra I'd go for big diesel German car I think

Sounds like you're mind could already be made up mate

It all comes down to if you want to do all the work and foot the bill of getting the vectra up to the desired power.....and thats going to be a fairly big bill if you want to see 270bhp

Get the 530d dude, or the 535 if you can find one on budget! But a mapped 530d would be my choice compared to a vectra

BMW anyday. You spend all that money getting the vectra upto that power, and its not worth anymore at the end of it. Buy the BMW and you've got a nicer, more refined car - with the power, that'll be worth more when you come to sell it on

Different class. You talk hp and torque but there is so much more to cars. Rear wheel drive, driving dynamics etc.

BMW is next level from Vectra. And it has a price & running cost to match. Before you act do a comparison of service and upgrade costs
