Remapping an 08 118D

[rich_vw]

Anyone had any experiences with doing this? I'm up in North Wales (the Anglesey side) and toying with the idea but not a clue where to get it done within the area and idea's? I know of an Indi BMW who can do superchip but thats about it.

Cheers,

There's quite a bit about remapping in the Babybmw aftermarket mods forum, www.babybmw.net

I had read through this but not being in the mid or south of england I'm a little stuffed, plus hadn't seen a whole lot said on the 118, seems to be more the 120's or 23's.

If location is an issue, the best bet would probably be a Superchips Bluefin, then you don't have to go anywhere

Either that, or one of the mobile installers, I think EMaps provide that service and seem to have lots of happy customers.

DMS will come to you and re-map the car.

Thanks,

Finally managed to get in touch with a few and put the following together:

Company BHP BHP Increase Lb-ft Lb-ft Increase Cost
DMS 180 37 285 64 £495.00
Superchip 183 40 259 38 £300.00
Evolution 171 28 266 45 £425.00
Emaps 175 32 269 48 £335.00
P torque 173 30 266 45 £395.00

Must admit the figures quoted by DMS are pretty impressive but the cost is very high compared to some of the others.

Has anyone got / had a superchip or emap? Are your experiences good?

Thanks,

I have heard lots of good things about Simon at Emaps.

One of my friends has used him for his E90 330d M sport and is very happy with the results.

Superchips? I wouldn't, to be honest. One of those "Jack of all trade" tuners..
Remaps are not all the same.. DMS has a good reputation though, and im sure the little extra cost is justified.
