DMS Automotive

I spoke to DMS automotive who are quite reputed in the tuning game. They were given rave reviews after they fiddled with the ECU on a BMW 535D and they do a lot of tuning for the Porsche 996 Turbo. WIth regards to the SLK55 AMG they have an engine remap which takes the car to 399bhp and 397lb/ft of torque. Has anyone heard of this or can give opinions to it? The cost is £950 inclusive and they will come to your workplace to do the work. It is undetectable to dealers and they offer a lifetime warranty. Seems like good value if those figures are achievable. EVO gave a great review to the 535D.

Thanks.

Yes, they remove the speed limiter as well. I think if you are a member of BMWland (which I am) you get a 25% discount if you get the work done at their premises and 10% if they come out to you. I'm sure a group buy could be sorted out if enough people were interested.

Chaps my only worry about this ECU upgrade is the actual reality of their claims. 399bhp is a 39bhp jump for a normally aspirated engine. You could understand those gains with a turbo engine or with a supercharger. I would love to do a test of before and after to really see if the upgrade is worth it. Maybe if I can negotiate a decent price for say 4-5 cars, it may just be worth it purely for the removal of the speed limiter.

Any thoughts? I am happy to approach them but only if we all feel that we will get some decent gains.

Best not mention that on a public internet forum you never know who might be reading it and you could ruin it for many
