You are just driving downhills my friend! Avg.speed 45.7km/h you old lady!!!(kerring)
Yeah I know the 177hp is more gently on the gas but when I ordered my car I didn?t know about the 177hp engine

Hi I just had my 520d(manual) remapped which is the 163bhp version. I asked the specialist that did it about the 177bhp version, and he explained the car has a new ECU that BMW fitted. He explained that the newer ECU cannot be remapped at present as it has been designed with a 512bit encryption by BMW specifically to stop you fiddling with it. Hope you have the 163, as mine gives an estimated 210bhp now and i get a few extra mpg to boot - on the drive home (26miles of urban and motorway) I averaged 51.3mpg!! I have just written a long post with regards to my experience.
Hope this helps!
