Hi guys I just got my car ecu remapped very cheap for £199 deal? full custom map, guy came to my house and did it. ecuremapz.co.uk I got his number from a mobile remapping site.

I put it up against my friends standard 530D and he didnt stand a chance.

I definatly would consider it if I was you.

hello, i'm thinking getting my 520D remapped, and straight after going for for a dyno test, because i have trust issues and i would like to see hard proof of new performance. did you realise the difference because sometimes its more psychological, i dont mean to be rude in anyway. Also does anyone know of other good places around the West Midlands region with dyno.
thanks

you can defo feel a difference, major aswell it not in my head, the wheels spin more the push back in the seat etc, all German cars handle it well used to have a few V Dubs and the PD engine handle it well to.

I realised it when I took it for a spray against friends 530D.

I HAVE JUST REMOVED MINE, ITS A 06 530d, the older cars have the metel swirl flaps that are prone to breaking, and this is the type your engine has. When i did mine i found that they were the newer uprated swirl flaps and plastic, but i removed them any way....Peace of Mind


Have a look hear for info
