These is what i can expect from DMS, and emaps:

DMS - 208 HP, 406 Nm ?525 with discounts (going to him) it does seem like alot
emaps - 196 HP, 420 Nm ?TBC

Which is likely to give me better fuel economy?
Which is likely to give me better performance overall.

Im really stuck on what to do. But DMS is closer to me by about 1hr difference. But distance isnt a problem really.

What kind of remap can I get for a 530i? If the performance numbers are right and the price I might just have to get one
Not normally worth doing on a petrol engine without a turbo charger... Minimal gains, but potentially better response and/or consumption.

I had ny 54 plate 525 d remapped at Chipped UK and the difference is amazing, it pulls so much smoother and returns better mpg. Tell jason you saw him on bmwland and you may get a better price. I did.

Worth comparing Superchips as well at ?500, and similar gains to everyone else. That said ChippedUK do have the price knocked into a cocked hat & given nearly all maps start as generic dimsport code they're a company I'll take my business to when my 535d arrives. ChippedUK have a lot of traction in the market for VAG models - checkout uk-mkivs.net.

I'm looking to have my 520D Manual chipped also, what's Jason's price - I'll go with a group buy if it helps?

why not go to antandpetes website and take a look there. they are located near manchester I think and they can make your 2 litre go 0-60 in 6.5 sec.....220 hp.....price around ?2200 I think.

Their 535d has 360hp and 900+ Nm

their old 330 with original 184hp, they boosted to 304 hp. When they sold it they detuned it to 275 hp. car has run 40000 miles now and still going strong with no defects at all.
