I've got a 530d with the 218bhp engine, later models increased to 231bhp. Any ideas on how i can improve mine?

I had DMS remap the ECU on my 218bhp 530d - they claim an increase in power up to c.255-265bhp. I haven't had the car on a rolling road to test the power claim but subjectively the car does feel much more responsive. DMS aren't the only ECU remappers around either, just do a search in the Forum and you'll find details of a few companies who can help.
