My Dad's E60 with same generation of 2.0d was remapped by chippeduk, B&W are a dealer for their code too. Whats odd is the ECU removal. Was there a specific reason, as OBD remaps are very common these days on this model of engine? Did you have a rolling road session to verify the power output, as 210bhp is on the limit of credibility - usually nearer the 200 mark.


Its good having a power upgrade and the improvement in mpg is welcome too from having this type of work done. And well worth the money imho.

Here..Chippeduk remap of E60 pre-lci 520d

Had my car rolling-roaded three weeks ago, sorry i don't have a pic to show, but the output was 207.4, so not quite 210 , but near enough! I have done about 7.5k since the re-map now, and the car has had no problems at all.

Hello,

IS it possible you can post the wheel power output figures - I've also he had a remap done on 520d and want to know what sort of figures the car should be producing after the map

Hi many people refer to re-mapping the ECU simply as Tuning. You will need to find someone who has the right equipment to do this, as a normal mechanic would not usually have the tools - it needs a specialist computer to do it. The gains on a petrol engine (mpg wise anyway) would not be as good as for a turbo diesel, but you would still see some reasonable gains I would think. The best thing to do would be to search the internet for tuning specialists where you are, as there must be people all over the world who are in this business!

I have found a link as an example to show what could be achieved with your car if you can find a specialist where you live http://www.supertuning.co.uk/bmw-520...remap-225.html

Hope this helps

In Holland this is called 'Chip-tuning'. I guess this is the same as re-mapping
