Road test for 335d...remap ordered!

Wh|t3R@bb|t · 07-02-2009, 09:56 AM

Hi All,

This may sound like an odd(ish) request but bear with me.

I am looking for some tests I can do in my 335d that will allow me to compare the car as it stand now (original) against the map that I have ordered (Evolve Switch). So won't be dyno'd to be able to do comparison.

I am assuming the easiest are 0-60, 70-100 times etc. Reset all the MPGs to see if fuel economy improves.

But anything else you can think off?

Unit arrives tomorrow (fingers crossed) so should be mapped and sorted by Saturday. I'm soo excited. Even more of bavaria's finest horses to play with in my beast.

Many Thanks

Andy

Mate go to a drag strip, do 6 runs standard then plug in the toy and then do another 6 runs..

Oh and oyu will deffo feel the car go much quicker.

If you got an iphone you can do a cheap, probably not massively accurate test using the free Rev Lite software.

Trixman is right, not that accurate, But im sure Better than a stop watch and some one trying to do it...

Like i said drag strip is the Best option, even more so cuz you can map the car and compare the very same day..

Unfortunately, I don't have an iPhone. I am a Smartphone addict, so Touch HD. Are they're any WM6 apps you know off?

Itis innacurate doing it that way mate, you might not use exaclty the same space of road etc.

Drag strip has FIA timing gear (Santa Pod) and will give very accurate 1/4mile times and MPH...

For example, i did 13.9@101.5mph standard... Dont know of ANY other 335d getting into the 13's standard, close 14.0 etc.

I have now done a 13.0@105.8mph.

For once, I have to agree with Carl about using Santa Pod or similar drag strip to do your comparisons pre and post map. Not only is the timing data accurate, but it's also a place where you can get to 100mph safely without fear of police, traffic, or other hazards.

I did 14.16 quarter in mine standard, will be heading to Kirkbride in August to see what the car can do after i get it mapped at evolve next Saturday.
