ONLY option?
I got a DMS remap for my 545 ... not tested (on my car at least), but they claim 333hp (UK) to 362hp. I can confirm it's quicker... all for sub GBP1k, on my drive, done in under 2 hours, and I've proven that it's undetectable by stealer!

Technically, that's only 29 hp and hope that could be dyno(ed). The original poster requested 30 hp gain?
picky... 1hp.
DMS are legit, thank you very much.

I wonder though if the DMS results are specific to the diesel E60's?? My understanding is that BMW leaves very little additional HP to be gained by mods like this for gas engines. Anyone here experienced with a DMS re-map on a non-diesel 545i?

That was my understanding as well. Starting with, I think, the E39 540 and 530, Dinan conceded that it could not get HP gains simply from a remap. Does anyone know what Dinan says about the E60?
