Anybody has already remapped his own 530d? I saw some very impressive figures from Skaffa posts (311 ps ? almost unbelieveble) I'm going to re-map mine in the next weeks and my choice is Digital Tuning from Switzerland; I'm not a beleiver of add-on digital boxes, my choice is for a full eprom modification.
Any suggestiin?
Thanks

IF You want best performance and reliability for Your specific car engine for sure remap or programable box/chip is the best solution. Box and off shelf chips are made to fit every car with similar engine. It's not custom made to specially fit Yours.

I am also condsidering getting this done - I am trying to work out the pro's and cons of all solutions.? Can anyone well me the real differences between the add-on boxes and a full remap.

My understanding is that -

- add-on boxes only affect the timing and volume of the fuel
- ECU remap also does boost

Now my assumption is that the ECU remap will give you better results BUT is there a hidden cost in terms or wear-and-tear on the engine ? Also - ECU remap can be erased if the system SW is updated by BMW.

Currently - I am considering a Superchips ECU remap.

Box, depending of type (boost indication, plug connection, connection to injectors, etc.), can only increase injection, change timing, increse boost in any combination. Of course remap is same thing. But with remap it's possible to change RPM max, Vmax, Torq max, etc.

Always before doing it's better to find out what you really want and then ask countless questions from different companies.

I have now driven totally 21000 km and 7000 km after remap, without any problems. Polution inspection last Tuesday gave no problem either.

Still happy like...

Car has not been yet in the garage, but perhaps next week. Like I stated some earlier post statutory pollution test did not jump because of that.

If something comes up I will sure let You know.
