My Ride: [s]07 E60 535d LCI.Silver.172.Hifi.Ipod.Rear Tints.M Spoiler.[/s] 07 B7 RS4 Avant Misano Red 54 E87 120d Sport Sparkling Graphite

These are the results from my Dad's '06 E60 520d M Sport (163) with roughly 14k on the clock. We took it down to Chippeduk in Bromsgrove, West Midlands. Ended up with 199Bhp and 283lbft on the rollers which is lower than nearly all advertised remaps. However this map was tuned for economy. Over the last 5K miles the onboard computer recorded an average of 42mpg. After reseting the onboard computer the post remap figure has now risen to 53mpg during a long, a heavily congested stop/start 160+ mile trip home. I'd be the first to conceed that these are early results (I'll update this thread as mileage increases) and are going to change. For those with an eye on economy over performance, it may worth asking your favoured tuning supplier for a similar map.

Pleased to see that so far you're getting the results you were after.

Does it also give an improvement to the low end torque, i.e. below 1800rpm?
