My Ride: 2006 530 d M-sport e60
Just got home from http://www.mstyle.co.uk/, they sorted me out a good deal on an ECU remap.
Claimed output now is 468Ilbs torque up from 368Ilbs and around 250BHP up from 218BHP, they also programmed my headlight washers for £50.
Great bunch of guys, worth a visit.

its a bit of an animal now, i can spin the wheels with traction control on even on dry tarmac, need to be really care full on wet tarmac.
Feels much smoother, builds the revs non-stop from idle all the way to the red line, OH! and the turbo howls now, not sure if that's to do with the K&N filter though, sounds great lol
I cant`t recommend m-style enough.

I can vouch for m-style as I had my M5 rear conversion done there,as Bob say's they are quite some distance from me(200 mile's!)or I would be there more often.

How is that much extra torque achieved with a remap?
More boost?
More boost = higher charge air intake temps!
What about improving the intercooling? Is there an aftermarket intercooler installed too?

this is the thing unless i can get it on a dyno to test there's no way to tell for sure, they claim 100NM more which would make it 600nm or 442Ilbs, i calculated it wrong first time.
