Yep. That 535d IS remapped. Video link was posted before on this forum, I think.
However, what the video drives home to me is that the driver makes a hell of a difference... never mind the noise.

I strongly suspect the B5 wasn't going full tilt on that lap - might have been an outlap, or just a shakedown.
Watched the DVD of last year's Uniroyal Fun Cup last night and now I'm itching to get back in a racing car!

I just took a 535d Tourer for a test drive and... wow, its a beast! I am definatly getting one! 
Any speed, any gear, any conditions and it just goes - i struggled to keep it below 100mph on the test drive!
I know it will just keep powering on until it hits the limiter! 
I am also shocked by the suspension - the Sports suspension with RFTs is a smoother ride than my current 'normal' suspension with RFTs?
How does that work out? 
I am really kicking myself got getting a 525d NON sports now.
Now, where do i sign...

DMS is magical on an all ready magic car. When I drive mine I always think if I could go any faster I would be out of control. Ya
Kind regards from Spain
335D remapped to 330 hp , speed limiter off
