?2500,- !?!?!
WTF, i payed ?600,- for my remap, and i've got 265bhp and 600NM torques.
I guess you pay for the name...
Thankfully, I didn't pay for it! But my guess is that it is the name and the massive warranty that you get with it. The warranty paper work (what is covered, etc.) is two and a half pages long.

I also found the TUV paper work and it appears that the upgrade was installed by a BMW dealership in Munich.

Perhaps you should look under the hood as well! You never know what the previous, German owner left you!

My remap is also fully covered on engine and tranny failures for the next two years.
But hey, you didn't pay for it, so just enjoy the mod for free

Remapping is something everybody with a BMW diesel should do, it gets a big smile on your face!
