Thanks

Hi there!
I've remapped mine a few weeks ago. I've 265 bhp now instead of 235 and have 570Nm of torque. The car feels great! I however expected more out of it. It foster me about 530?
It is worth it! Very good upgrade!

Superchips quote 632Nm of Torque and current price is around £370 for Bluefin device.

thats not that bad my 530d is the 218 standard
go two options one is a remap

second option is i have a AC Schnitzer diesel upgrade which is around £2000 to buy i might fit that

connects to all injectors accelerator pedal and dde and other places such as exhuast sensor

I Bluefinned my 535d and the car does seem to be more lively- now revs to about 5k when I want and pulls all the way there. A far as I know, they offer a period of grace where if you dont like the result you can return ( I bought mine second hand but this route can be a real minefield if youre not careful). After approx 2K miles since fitting, I seem to have lost about 1mpg from the upgrade. I realise this is the 535 and you have a 530, but I would imagine you would find similar. As for the AC route- what do you get for your money- it seems a lot? Remember there is a limit as to how much can be added power wise before reliability issues. Look at the power curves for the options and see why extra cost. As stated by earlier poster, Bfin is about £400 new, and also can be removed/reloaded by yourself into the same car as often as you want(if theres a warrenty on car this may be good)

I got the AC diesel upgrade will be fitting that once I get a chance they don't try to obtain the highest power of the car but the safest and closest to top power without risking issues to engine I got mine a lot cheaper if you buy it from them at that price it comes with few years warranty and also covers more parts than bmw warranty

AC said there main focus is not on bhp but torque that's what throws you back Into the seat and pulls the car

Il get this fitted then get a rolling road test at some later date

What sort of figures did you get from your remap

my old 218bhp was custom mapped, few hours at the rollers and endded up with 271bhp and around 700 nm torque, i did over 30k and 2 years with the map. I drive very hard, around town mpg we're down but on a motorway run would be better.
My current 530 is the 232bhp, this time i use the evolve switch to map the car, it's handy to be able to remove the map for service / warranty work at the stealer (Which i had to do late last year with no problems) I've not had this one on the rollers but should be around 291bhp and 710nm torque. also got the speed limiter removed, still have yet to test that I paid around £600 for the unit.
Let us know how you get on, I'm sure it will put a grin on your face and watch the tyres, i'm only getting a few months out of a set. driffing doesn't help
