BMW 218d Parts & Accessories

The BMW 218d is the entry-level diesel variant of the F45 Active Tourer and F46 Gran Tourer, powered by a 2.0L B47 four-cylinder diesel engine. It occupies a practical front-wheel-drive platform that benefits from suspension and appearance upgrades to sharpen its character beyond the standard touring variant specification.

Popular Upgrades

Coilovers and sport springs are popular on the 218d platform, lowering the Active or Gran Tourer's ride height and reducing body roll for a sportier driving experience. Performance exhaust upgrades improve the B47 diesel's otherwise muted exhaust note. Cold air intake and intercooler upgrades support ECU remapping that significantly improves the 218d's torque output and fuel efficiency simultaneously.

Can the BMW 218d be tuned for significantly more power?

Yes — the B47 diesel in the 218d responds well to ECU remapping, with stage 1 tunes adding 30–50 hp and substantial torque increases from the standard 150 hp output. A remap combined with an upgraded intake and intercooler represents one of the best value-per-cost performance upgrades available on the 218d platform.

What suspension upgrades work on the BMW 218d F45?

Direct-fit coilover kits and lowering spring sets are available for the F45 Active Tourer platform. These typically lower the 218d by 25–40mm and firm up spring rates to reduce body roll and improve steering response, giving the practical tourer a noticeably sportier handling character without sacrificing everyday comfort significantly.
