Ed,
Your 545 handling is good! The car is well balanced and the engine is smoother than mine....

Might help that Ed's car is a solid roof one and his engine has been "runned-in" properly..... Yours on the other hand sits at home looking nice..... engine might not have been 'runned-in" properly.....
If you need any help running that beast in, let me know...... hehehe.....

16BHP? Being a novice, is this significant? Ed Jr mentioned something like 40 BHP after DMS. How much and how long to DMS?
They are not here for very long.... 16bhp brings the power up of the 523 to the old 525 levels..... but if I'm not mistaken, the remaping also smoothes out the torque curve..... but I recommend that if you don't feel comfortable about it, don't do anything......

For turbo cars, the "power up" is more compared to NA cars.... so Marcus' car, a 1.8T has significant gains. Another car they have "power up" is the new 335i.... 100bhp up.... but that comes with a twin turbo..... so...

My ride is up for its first servicing next week..... One of my gripe with PML is the AUX Interface. I lost CD function after installing AUX. So I hope to get them to get things rite. Problem is, they will need to flash the software to get this done rite? So if I do the DMS, all will be lost rite?
