Remaps

Think it's time I got my 330d remapped.
I'm from Shrewsbury. Where would be the best place that's not miles away?

Many thanks

Emaps - he'll come to you.
231 or 245??? I'll be interested to hear your thoughts after it's done, just picked up a 330d already looking to spice it up a bit more

I had my 330d 245ps remapped by DMS - it went to 305bhp and was a superb map. It made the car smoother than standard and very quick. DMS were excellent but are dearer than others. I paid £595. On my 330d - being an LCI - it was an ECU out job.

I'd be interested in hearing how you get on too. My turbo seems to bite at 2500 revs which is quite high for diesel, so not too often that I get there. I want more low down, turbo to spool up earlier.

From Shrewsbury, have a look at Performance Torque in Wolverhampton.

I had my 330d done there last summer - the remap is brilliant, but the customer service was simply outstanding. Very highly recommended.

Simon from e-maps is my shout, though I rate DMS highly too but they do charge approximately double.

If you want to come down this way then BW chiptune in Hayes!

Your cars in safe hands with Simon, reputation is very strong, he certainly wouldn't risk his reputation(quite rightly)in pursuit of all out power.

Shame when I asked emaps about a remap he could not give me answer to my specific questions which made me believe he just installs a generic map and does not understand whats actually happening.

Also on that power comment surely if you have a 330d or 335d your not after economy otherwise you would buy a horrible 318d! If you have a 330 or 335d power is your aim. Sure is for me, no point messing with a 3.0d for economy.

I gained 60 horses AND 3 mpg through my remap So it's a moot point ...

Yes but don't gain the 3mpg whilst using the extra 60 horses.

You only gain mpg if you don't use the extra bhp..

OP AFAIK Emaps just install generic maps from overseas.

From Shrewsbury Defo ptorque in Wolverhampton . Much better to be near you for any problems etc. They include rolling road time to do it properly.

In that case definitely speak to Will at P-torque.

He does all his own cracking, coding and development. IIRC he was the first to crack the "uncrackable encrypted" E9x LCI diesel ECUs from 2009 ish, so he is a veritable expert on the 20d and 30d motors.

They're near Himley, just 10 miles from Bridgenorth.

Try AP Automotive in Telford. They've done a few Bm's around here including my 335i.

Handy that he is also ex BMW Tech, may be worth a try
