welcome. well the option that ebmcs03 suggested is one thing.. haha. another option would be to go with a ecu remap, like many members here. search for threads with "dms remap" or "chippeduk" or anything. those are the most popular to go with for diesels i believe. enjoy the forums.

Depending on where abouts you are geographically in London Try out B&W Chiptune based in Hounslow - they do Live remaps specific to your car. Call Jason on 0208 570 3600 he will talk you through the capabilities of his mapping. He is reasonable too and knows what he is doing.
Tell him I sent you (Harv) he knows me well.

harv, have you had your remapped then?
The car came already remapped by B&W Chiptune but I want to get it mapped again......i don't think I am getting the sort of economy a 530d should return.

serious, well try paul at M Style, trust me, it will be just that much more noticable.
I get excellent economy, truly, like last to last sunday, went to Notts, then back to london , and then back to Birmingham mideweek, all in one tank, i did exactly 578miles and still had diesil left, possibley another 70-80 miles, howeevr come off the mototrwa too long and that will drop, especailly if you use the turbo band.
Did u see the mpg pic i put up then

What sort of ball-park figure are the M-Style guys charging for remaps?
Thanks
