wcs_80 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Thank you. So you travel? [/ QUOTE ] Afraid not. We used to, but too many cowboys started buying poor equipment and poor files, and then offering a mapping service. We have now steered away from this. If you go down the mobile route, just ensure its a reputable company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks. I might try Star Performance in Kirkcaldy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've been recommended Simtis.... http://www.simtis.com/ Chap seams to know which way round the world rotates, so think I'll go for it. Just waiting to hear when it can be done. My car had a MAJOR iDrive update when they installed the iPOD interface (taking ~6hours)... but I may wait till the first service is done, so it's all ready for the upgrade. P.

Merlot Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Where are they? I suppose we need to buy a new upgrade after every service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the re-map guys will put the upgrade back in the car if BMW do a major upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattylad Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi i have had my 03 BMW 330D remapped today, what a difference !!! Car runs really smooth and is so much more powerful, it pulls like a train and also sounds better (not sure why exactly). I had spent a couple of weeks looking into various companies / options and decided in the end to go to P-Torque, spoke to Will over the phone and he was very helpful and explained the pit falls of some of the options i had considered, have only had the car done today, but did notice better MPG on my return journey from Wolverhampton, this was with more aggresive driving also !! No smoke at all from the back end (appart from the tyres !), which was a concern i had, if you are thinking of remapping a BMW 330D talk to Will, he is very informative and offers a very fair price Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Anyone tried e-maps? http://www.e-maps.co.uk/products/BMW/5+Series+%28e60%29/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 My service is booked for 4th Feb, so now looking to book the re-map. Only Simtis are not exactly "responsive" to emails... so think I may have to stick with DMS. (not a problem, just a lot more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfer Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Because it is not got enough brain power to do it, it is getting very advanced to do all that, the REVO dongle is the same, Audi said straight away when I took mine in "Oh, so you have chipped your car then?" Luckily I knew the tech well, and he said they had no problem with it themselves, however the problem now is the computers talk back to Germany when you plug them in, this is so they can check your car has not been tampered with, all decisions whether to give the go ahead on warranty work will no longer be made by your local friendly dealer. [/ QUOTE ] If as you say; this is the case, what if any way forward is there, for a "Safe Remap"?. Can the BMW service dept see your map change, if done via "Direct imprint" to the Board?.

gizze Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 BMW are meant to start offering a remap programme themselves, this is why they are getting tighter with their ECU encryption. At what price though is anyones guess? We may not even see it in the UK, may just be Europe and the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Burger Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi, mate! I've got a chip for my 184hp BMW 330d. Where is the connection point on the enjin? I've tried one at the front (just behind the fan - under the platic cover), but the car would not start when I plugged it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
