'Evolve' remap on E9x series 335i auto - any experiences?
Discussion
Thanks! That's really helpful. Did it improve the throttle response (that half-second lag between pressing the pedal and the car responding)? Mine's an auto though. That bugs me a bit.
Also, have you had any issues with the car handling the extra power in terms of traction?

Had my N54 remapped by Evolve last year, very happy, no issues. Chaps were friendly, had wifi, did a before and after dyno. They had their white Evolve M5 in at the time, what a noisy beast that was (running quite high power I believe).
Around town and on low throttle the car drives as standard, on full throttle the car pulls noticeably harder at all revs. It's much the same power delivery, I seem to notice a touch more turbo lag now but the car retains a very flat torque curve and linear power delivery. We capped mine at 360bhp (they could have achieved more) but with the dual clutch transmission I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I absolutely love my mapped N54, I struggle to think of what will replace it when the time comes.

I tried the throttle adaption reset protocol on my 335i auto last night and it definitely seems to have made a difference! 
Everyone should try it and report back:
for BMWs:
1. Never touch the break pedal & key remains inserted the entire time
2. Insert key and push START Button
3. Press and HOLD gas pedal for 5 seconds
4. WITHOUT RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, push the START Button
5. Release gas pedal
6. Wait full 2 minutes
7. Start car normally

@ Rockford, you probably know this but as a former 335i DCT owner , when I felt throttle response was below par I did the throttle adaptions reset. I don't have the instructions to hand , but they were much debated on E90 post and it worked for me. Did it fairly early on in ownership , mine was never tuned.
