Thanks for the info ! I've wondered whether the service engineers would spot the difference in performance as they drive the car and then bother to act on it ?

You are probably right, I will do some more digging with e-maps and return a reply in the next few days. They seemed convincing in identifying kit that was also supplied to DMS. Guess I'm just a bit high bearing in mind I was in a 1.9tdi 130 A4 3 months ago - how different now. M5 - no re-maps needed ever

Well, it's perfectly possible for e-maps (or anyone else) to use the same equipment and software as DMS. What they mean is that they use the same equipment and software to read and re-map the car's ECU, not that the remapping parameters are the same. BMW is obliged to supply to anyone who pays the list price all their diagnostic and programming equipment - one thing for which we have to thank the EU.
