Merv: I really can't say for sure.. I guess it would just be better to let DS handle the shifting. I think that's what BMW meant it to be: fastest in 0-100 km/h. I personally like to keep it on DS, using Manual mode mainly when approaching stoplights.
I really can't remember if I can break 100 in second.. Have to try that one out. In manual mode it can't downshift from third to second while driving more than 60 km/h or so, though. It does rev a bit higher in acceleration.
I can't remember.. Was it you Merv who had DMS chip installed?

I thought it was quick as standard, but now it has been remapped, it is just amazing - really amazing.
Whilst I would accept that ?800 is a fair wedge for a car that already makes most others wither in its tracks, when you have driven a remapped car, it just doesnt matter. Every gear now is just more thrust down the road. The only problem being a distinct lack of grip - particularly in the wet, which can get interesting.
Go and have a drive of the DMS demonstrator, but be ready to part with your cash!
Would your dealer be able tell if the car is remapped? Where exactly is the power difference in the rev range? Is it higher up, lower or evenly spread across?

Apparently the only way they can tell is if they send the ecu back to Germany.
My mate that works at the dealer says they have no way of telling either - other than driving it that is
The extra power is right across they range. It picks up better, had better throttle response and is just much faster all round.
Basically, take your car, and increase everything by 10% plus and you have it.
I thought you were fairly local to me - if you want a spin, then I am sure we could sort it out - I'm close to Solihull.

Mmm.. The DMS tuning sounds good! We might consider buying one in our car somewhere in the future To get one would be have to drive all the way to England? Doesn't sound very tempting to me, as we live in Finland
Oh and, about the price. It's 800 quid, right?

Sounds like a good buy Chris. I'll certainly give it some serious thought and thanks for the offer of a spin in yours.
