Thxvm to Jason at BW Chiptune

Post by ChrisLux » Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:15 pm

I've just had my '05 E53 3.0d re-mapped at BW Chiptune in Hounslow , and wanted to say
thxvm to Jason for coming in on Monday (he shudda been somewhere else!) just to do
my car .

It's made a really big difference , and I'm really pleased .
It's got more power and a wider , flatter torque curve .

The first thing I noticed was the throttle response , much more sensitive . Pulling away from
BW's garage , I only had to 'stroke' the accelerator and I was moving . Once I got to the main
road I planted the loud pedal to the carpet and it took off like a scalded cat . Revved round to
4750 red line quickly and smoothly (Jason told me I had to do this a few times to get the re-map
settled in , who am I to argue !!)

It changes gear nice and smoothly , and will hold in the gears if you want it to , so swift progress
can be made . And around town it's hardly necessary to press the accelerator .

On the way over to see Jason , with cruise control between 110/130kmh I had a tank average of
33.8mpg , and on the return journey but this time between 120/150kmh I saw 37.1mpg , so not
only do you get the power/acceleration/speed improvement , if you drive it the same way as before
(i.e. not using the extra power advantage) then you get improved mpg too !!

So what's to lose ?? Nothing in my opinion and I would recommend Jason's re-map to anyone interested .
Best £250 I've spent on the car so far .

Cheers Jason

Hi

I had mine done last Saturday from Jason too and have to say I agree with Chris. You get an instantaneous response when you touch the throttle instead of the flat bit I had before. Did not know about the breaking it in so too speak but have already done this. Would be rude not to give it a good blow-dry as it were.

I got 38.5 on the way back home and am getting about 24.6-27 on my semi rural driving. Before I was about 21 mpg.

All in all happy. It's just like one long BMW fest over there as they're In and out all the time. It's a small garage with big results :-)

Hey Peeps, had my E53 3.0d remapped by Jason and the team this week and must say at first I wasn't overly excited driving around in town but once I jumped on the motorway I noticed a huge difference in the way it pulls and the torque. A little tap of the right foot and the baby moves with no hesitancy...and puts a massive smile on my face(almost as much as when it get on 2 wheels). Defiantly worst the cash.... Thanks to Jason and his lad.

Defiantly worst?  Now there's a sales pitch if ever I saw one!  ;-)
