Guys,

I've ready all the pro's of having a 535d DMS re-map, anyone had any bad experiences?
Any issues with BMW warranty?

Pleased to hear your experiences.

Not what I'd consider a bad experience, but my turbo has been replaced under warranty.

As Iceman and we said many times they can, not easy and they have to look for it, as in this case the turbo was changed sure they have looked for why the heck the turbo must be changed.

So they can but they have to look for specific for remap

NOTHING IS undetectable it does NOT exsits.

Your DME unit can only be upload with new software a maximum of 15 times. So if you car has a remap from DMS your DME will show that you have left with 14 DME upgrade. The bmw workshop can easily guess who has been fiddling with you DME So yes the bmw workshop can detect unauthorized upgrade to the DME unit, but they could not trace which parameter of the engine mapping has been change.

Not DMS but remapped in Spain since November 2005. So far so good, approx 21.000 miles (35.000 Km) made with no problem.

330 hp

660 Nm

(Measured later at a different dyno shop)


Kind regards

A proper remapper disables the flash counter, so it will not show that the car had a map.
