Unhappy

I took the car out to Notts Yesterday evening and back again to Southampton, and back home, and i done this in a full tank, i dont think i revved more then 3000 revs the entire journey as it was night time , first time i got this type of milage, i really pleased with the ECU Remap now.

Has anyone else had mpg as this?

Real Good

very nice, but not unique. a remap pays for itself in better mileage, so the extra power comes for free

not unusual to see a range of 600+ when I fill up

Exclamation

I have 528 xi (US-Gas-Reformulated-Ethanol) that sometimes shows > 550 on full tank.
Gradually it goes down and gives 21-23(city) 25-28 mpg(Hwy) by next refill.

REMAP Can cost from ?300 up to around ?400, but hey it will be the best money you wouldve spent, trust me, after about 9-10 re-fills, you would of made up that money in extra miles, believe me i know, and am very pleased that i get more miles in my 530d then i do in my stock 530d and 330d. A LOT MORE..!!

The most I got on my 545i 8 banger on a full tank was 390 miles being conservative. Maybe i should get the remap.

I have a 530d and had it for about 2weeks now and the most I have had out of a tank is 470miles!

Mine has had a remap too but I have a feeling that because it was a live map - the focus was more on the performance and torque as oppose to economy. I would prefer a balance personally so I might have it remapped again.

E60BEEMER - Where did you get yours mapped?
