Everything Huck has said here is spot on I couldn't have worded better myself although I would have tried obviously. Nice  to have an X6 driver on here that actually talks sense at last !!!

Firstly, echo what everyone else has said about driveability, torque, likely economy considerations.

I'd only get my car mapped by someone who had done loads of them on my model/engine and is well aware of all issues to be aware of, both pre-existing and potential. If your mate falls into this category, and you'll have confidence to trust your P&J in his hands, go for it.

Another thing to think about is that you mentioned, in another thread, how you changed insurers because of costs associated with trackers etc; in the process, you missed out an a year's NCB. You'll need to consider insurance as an issue again as they will most probably load it up (quite massively in some cases) or, indeed, may flatly refuse to cover you. Any arguments about it being primarily for economy will, undoubtedly, fall on deaf ears.

Yes, well said Huck.  And one intelligent X6er is one more than Audi have archived on this site.  :P
