Remaps- are they worthwile?

[shane@mbtech]

Whats your thoughts guys on remaps?

Im on the fence due to various things/feelings I have seen/had lately.

Are they worth it do you notice a difference?

Who is the best out there?


AL tuning get good reviews, aat technik come highly recommended too.

People rave how good simpsons are, are their maps good too?

I personally know dms and they get good power?




Shimmy dont answer. You thought your 4.10 diff was amazing and made the car pull harder and accelerate faster then realised it wasnt fitted, so your findings realise my thoughts of placebo effect and that they may do fuck all, but we believe they do. (plus sal pays you off, or is that blows you off- delete as appropriate)


Be interested in your views guys.

Mine (not saying who did it) was checked by someone and found to be just 10% more fuel and 2.5 degrees ignition plus a higher (impossible to reach) speed limit. Nothing else touched. No wonder I didn't notice a difference

My personal opinion is that it's not worth it, especially when the car is stock.

What will the tuner get out of the engine that BMW Motorsport didn't ?
Spare me the 'yes, the factory map is so as it can work with pump fuel in Nepal...'
CSL was never meant to be driven in some village in the end of the world that the fuel is not good.

Next time we will meet with Matt, we will test our CSLs.
His CSL made high HP number in the Dyno, but I reckon (and I might be wrong) he won't have much (if any) difference on the road.

Just my opinion of course and what I am doing with my car.
I think a backbox is what a CSL needs. The rest... is a waste of money.

I want to get out on track with Shimmy,. To see how his remapped and motorsport diff does against my stock map, stock diff. I reckon it may just have the edge but will be interesting to see.

If Matt's keeps pulling like it did when he took me out in it then you'll see the difference, it's solid in the mid-range and pulls very hard all the way to the redline in every gear, I'm not going to say who did the Map as he's asked me not to and I respect that but I'll be getting one for sure, worth every penny IMO!
