I guess with the engine being so new when I had mine mapped, nobody knew any better. If it is just a simple case of mapping, then it wont be long before Emaps, chipped UK and DMS start offering it, once it becomes common knowledge.
The problem is that very few tuners know these new programs at all, they are working in the dark and thats why they dont get the results that are possible to obtain.
According to my source BMW has made it very difficult to get the 325d to perform as a chipped 330d, for excample to take away the top speed governour, he had to enter the map in 3 different places!
But when you know where the "secret" obstacles are, its possible.
To get that info, you need info from BMW that they dont want to give to anyone.........
