I've bought a e350 coupe on a 12 plate and love it. From an honest opinion is it worth remapping to improve the fuel consumption it seems to average about 38mpg. My question is how much will it rise by

It'll depend on your mileage as it normally involves taking the ECU out, you'll see around 315bhp economy wise you'll gain roughly an extra 50-80 miles per tank, so you'll save £6-£10 per fill up, ECU out mapping & a rolling road will cost roughly £500 so you just need to see if it works out for you.

I am not wishing to be rude but please read the reviews about these.
Not good!
Try Big Fish tuning.

+1 for Big Fish Tuning, based in Stokesly near Middlesborough.

He's done a few maps for me and really understands what he's doing with them. Oh, and he writes his own, which is always good.

38mpg... Let's say you get an improvement to 42mpg (optimistic to get any repeatable improvement unless you are happy with having less power also) and do 12k miles a year. It will take nearly 3 years to recoup that £500.
Your money at the end of the day, but I reckon you'd get better improvement in mpg through driving style.

No offence taken I can only go by who my friends & clients in the NE have used & it's them, they've turned out decent results & the owners are happy which from my point of view is more relevant than a review by someone I don't know.
