mate read it earlier this week!! fantastic right up on a fantatic car, the M-sport kit looked really good in red !!
and its quick enough as stock to keep up with most modern day hopt hatches too!! amazing thing for me was with all the options the car they used for the review cost more (34k ish) than a bog standard 335i Carlos

I'd be really interested to read the article. Do all BMW owners get sent the mag or is it something you just buy. I have had my car about 6 weeks but don't get sent a mag?

I think they mean the one you can buy in the shops. I wasn't sure at first either but then I figured BMW writing a glowing report on their own car wouldn't mean much !!!!!

I'd really like to see the article that featured the 335d remap (I think by DMS) but missed it in whichever magazine that was in

Carlos> 5.5 would do me fine. That's about what DMS got the E60 535d down to isn't it? It's not all about 0-60 as people keep saying !

If it helps it was in the June issue of BMW car, but I see that our resident Remap expert Carlos has written a review for you so it's probably not worth getting the back issue! As you know remapping is all about 0-60/100 times & any other potential benefits matter not a jot. By the way BMW has confirmed that Coupe's (Not saloon's) finished in Black Sapphire benefit from a smoother surface area & therefore achieve 0-60 1 .3 seconds faster then cars finished in other colours,the BHP is also higher as is the torque but BMW were very cagey when pushed for a figure. |

I thought it was car's with DXB in the registration that get improved BHP and 0-100 times ?

If you zoom IE7 (or whatever your browser is) up to about 150% you should be ok.
