E89 Z4 2.0i sdrive Remap or Tuning Box
Discussion
My wife has a 2015 E89 Z4 2.0i which she adores. Although I will admit the car in standard trim does perform better than I expected it to I would like to eke a little more from it.
I figure the easiest way to achieve the desired results are from either a remap or some kind of tuning box, here lies my dilemma, which is best??
Now im aware that different people will have different opinions of each so what i really want to know is if i were to go for the remap where should i go to get it done?? Please bear in mind that i live in Devon and would prefer not to travel 100's of miles so the closer the better.
If however i decide to go for the tuning box again which one should i go for?? I have done much research on this subject and the Racechip seems to get very favourable reviews. This option also comes with the benefit of home delivery so it does have a large appeal for me.
would love to hear views of personal experience or just your thoughts on which of each is best.
PS this will be either a remap or the addition of a tuning box to the standard engine, i have no interest in changing exhaust, air intake etc.

I know nothing about BMW Tuning I'm coming from the VAG tuning world but remap.
And if you do get it remapped, get it done by somebody tried and tested, not big bob round the corner who offered you his £150 Christmas special "custom" tune that he has really just bought a file from ebay and flashed it.

The exact reason i'm asking the question. I would only used a tried and tested reputable tuner, i just don't know who or where.And if you do get it remapped, get it done by somebody tried and tested, not big bob round the corner who offered you his £150 Christmas special "custom" tune that he has really just bought a file from ebay and flashed it.
Had my missus 2012 2.0l mapped couple of months ago by quatum tunnings. Not as easy as first thought as ecu has to be removed from the car. But once mapped its a good car. I drive an e92 330i and i even love driving the z4 now. See attached claimed figures. I would say there pretty genuine as it can now keep up with my 2008 n53 330i.

Some useful info provided here on PH, but if you want a bit more detail you could try a more dedicated forum - like z4forum, zroadster, etc.I figure the easiest way to achieve the desired results are from either a remap or some kind of tuning box, here lies my dilemma, which is best??
