I don't see any reason for the new 177bhp 520d to be peaky; I have 520d (163bhp) running at 212bhp and the remap smooths everything out.
Or, is there still something wrong with my car because I still occasionally get an engine "stutter" when travelling on a light throttle at between 1800 and 2200 revs.
If a remap will cure all this I'm sold.

While we're looking through old posts, I thought I'd add my tuppence worth...

Whilst we're on the subject, can anyone say what the differences are between the new 525d (197bhp) and the 530d apart from power? Is the 525d just a detuned 530d or does the 525d's 3,000cc engine have a smaller turbo? I'm interested to know whether the difference is just mapping or actual physical 'hardware'.

Too many compromises with factory tune...

I'll be receiving my E61 LCI 520d with autobox in May and am looking into ways of increasing the power - torque mainly.
Thanks sguillard
