It has taken me 18 months the eventually decide to get a DMS remap.

Drove down to Andover today and after an hour emerged with the car to see what the difference was.

It was quite surprising, not only was the acceleration away from a start noticeably better, the general take up of the engine was much smoother and the gearchanging whilst driving considerably smoother.

Can't think of any real logic for the difference in the transmission, but it was real.

Wish I'd had this done earlier now,

Thanks Mike and Darren

How much did you pay the remap from DMS...I've heard great reviews, but they charge the highest prices too :-)

By going to them and getting the 25% discount I paid ?611.

Standard price for a 530D (218bhp) mapped to 260 bhp is ?695 + Tax.
