The Millers oil has been recommended to me by more than 1 person so hopefully it's money well spent.
I really like your car, and glad you went with a proper remap.
A decent tuning company, when remapping, will put a standard remap on, but monitor all sorts of things like boost, intake temps, timing, fuel, etc, to make sure it is safe, where a tuning box will basically just fool a couple of sensors to trick the engine.
This is a great video, and shows that some boxes are really just a con, and none are really that good : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_sIRoPgFFI&t=...
I went with a remap at a BMW specialist / tuning company for my M140i, and the rolling road / dyno print out showed a nice linear power & torque curve, exactly what I wanted.

A quick update.
Been a few weeks now since the remap and I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The difference in the performance is phenomenal and fuel consumption is unaltered. It's fair to say it feels like a different car and never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Insurance increased by £81 for all those that might be interested.
