I had a 330d E46 auto (204 bhp). After an emaps bit of magic, the car was a sooooo much better. Throttle response improved, more useable power, etc.

Please don't be in any doubt that it is worth it!!! Oh, and not a hint of any issues.

Cheers

Anyone with an auto 330 E46 with remapped out there..please let me if you're happy with it.

Id be really interested to know what a 330D auto is like after having it mapped by Simon. Ive been thinking about having it done for ages, but Im concerned about the autobox - although my car has just been service and the gearbox oil changed.

I guess you 330d is 184?

YES, YES, YES !!!!!! ..... Auto or manual get it remapped !!!!! Auto's are better as the Torque converter in the gerabox / transmission can handle the massive increase in Power and torque far better than the manual. The manual is great but I am sure the auto will take to the remap like a duck to water. When you get it send me at least £10 in appreciation for being right !!! LoL !!

Thanks for all the feedback

No problem with a Group buy on the Veyron, as long as I can do a test drive afterwards for a couple of days

My 525d drives like new after simons remap. Had 0 fault codes come up too, result. Can't beleive how fast it peels out now with traction control off Fuel economy is up quite a bit too.

Thanks for the writeup mable, always very interesting to hear other people's experiences. This is all great news and particularly good timing for me as I have my car booked in with Simon in about 10 days time, when I come back to UK for a month or so and I'm really looking forward to seeing what difference he can make to my 330cd Convertible. I'm working on the Italian Med coast at the moment so have been very lucky to be able to use my car on some of the fantastic roads in the mountains just inland. At this time of year they are almost deserted and I've really been able to enjoy and exploit the power delivery and handling potential of the car, almost always with the roof down - pure heaven! There just aren't enough roads like that in UK (with some notable exceptions, particularly in parts of Scotland and Wales) and if you find them, invariably the weather isn't so great.

I've only had the car just over a month and it feels and drives like a new car. It's an 05 plate with 28,000 gentle miles on it, and a full service history so should be perfect for Simon's magic touch. It's my third BMW 3 litre diesel, having had a couple of 530ds (193 BHP) 4 or 5 years ago. This engine feels the sweetest and smoothest of the ones I've had and the 6 speed box is a joy to use. Once I've had the remap done I will post a thread with my thoughts. It's hard for me to imagine how this engine can be made much better (apart from fitting 2 turbos - I'll say it before anyone else does) but from what I've read on this excellent forum I have every confidence that Simon will amaze me. I'm looking forward to the silly grin I know will be on my face!

Hi,

Just wanted to share with you the excellent work Simon from Emaps did on remapping my 335D last Thursday in Surrey. His professionalism, knowledge in the subject matter and competative pricing makes it a very easy recommendation for anyone who is thinking or even just wants to know more about car tuning. Fantastic service from a very nice guy. Thanks Simon

The car was already quick but I wanted to explore its full potential! Now after the amazing remap, it goes like a rocket. In fact, I no longer need to switch it to Sports mode to really enjoy the thrill of driving it! I haven't done very accurate timing as yet but I believe it is now doing 0-60 in around 5 seconds flat. In addition, the pull mid-top range is now absolutely incredible. I actually did a little road test with Simon afterwards on the A3 to see the difference and I know Simon enjoyed the experience, albeit maybe a bit too scary for him

I would do one but the rear bumper has to be removed to get the ECU's. The rear bumper is £25k to replace if I break it...lol
