I have been trying to get a Remap done here in India but seems like no one does it here for the 525d
What are my other options to get this done? Wish there was somethign i could DIY

I have also a 525d E60 2,5l 163 bhp 03/2004: 342000 km and still going as the first day, ... . The majority of E60 's sold in Belgium were 525d untill the 520d (2,0 l 4cyl) arrived on the market. But the 525d is still in the catalogue today ( now 3,0 l 197bhp)

Let just say its easier to find diesel than petrol in any part of India, all our trucks,etc run on diesel hence the diesel rates are highly subsidized too... it's around 20% cheaper than petrol !
With the rising fuel prices, all major car brands are getting good diesel engines in as their demand is very high. It's no suprise that BMW's most popular engine has been the 525d, sales of the diesel have been more than 523i+525i+530i combined !
Moreover petrol engines are always detuned in India to match impure fuel quality, so basically the 530i and 525d are neck to neck in performance tests here.
Diesel engines are not detuned as they can manage our impure diesel fuel.
Btw, BMW recently launched the 530d, hoping my dealer can pull some strings and remap my 525d to a 530d ! Or else i'll have to figure how DMS can remap my engine here without me phyically sending the car to them in the UK
Your wife is right Mumbai has some sweet cars so does Delhi and all other major metros... around 40 RR Phantoms are currently in India.
Mumbai alone has a F599, couple of F430s,gallardos,LP640, RR phantoms including the drop top version, audi R8... to name a few besdies the several Cayannes,Q7s,5ers,E's etc
