Took about 3.5 hours I think. There's more info on their web site (including some references to this forum) here.

Feels like a different car - and seems incredible value for money. I decided to keep it all above board and called my insurance broker, expecting they'd be asking for an extra arm and leg, and they told me there would be no increase in premium since I'm already on a "special risk" policy. I'm so stunned by this, I've actually writen asking them to confirm that they understand I've had a remap giving an extra 64bhp.

REFERENCE CA WEBSITE:

TYPES OF REMAPPING
We offer three Options of remap format to suit different applications :

OPTION 1, STANDARD REMAP FOR OEM. The most common and least expensive format, these maps have previously been specifically formulated on dyno and road for the specific vehicle model and year of vehicle in question. We then convert the data as required to “fit” your particular version ECU/DME and upload the new programme. The prices listed towards bottom of this page and the power gains listed in the link at very bottom of the page all refer to this Standard option remap.

you had this one right???

CA Automotive and Simon mapped my 335D back in March, mine was the first one they ever did, and till today the car is spot on. They get it right, first time, everytime

Wilko and Vern both used Simon/e-maps and rated him highly. Their recommnedation is good for me, bearing in mind their exposure to the general tuning market, but obviously no switching available.

[SCN_Saul]

is it the same guy phil?

i know wilkos had no beef, and he finds the cracks more than most, vern just sits back and smokes his cigar whilst stroking his white cat

edit: you put the 'thing' on yet ?

[Cafe.Racer]

I don't know for sure, but I have a strong feeling it is. I've spoken to Simon about doing mine, sounds like a nice bloke, a bit far from you though (Walsall although he travels?). Wilko will know if it's the same guy, if you've got more than just a passing interest I could ask him (well, you could ask him I guess). Edit: just emailed him.

Vern stroking a white-haired pussy, eh? Not sure how old his missus is, now you mention it.

Still not fitted the P-Box, hope to fit it at the weekend/next week - I've figured out what I'm doing, just haven't had "time". You should've got that RR day organised, it might've been different as I'd like to get some figures/curves to compare to the other ones that've been posted...

its the same bloke, skinny, ginger, smokes and sounds proper brum and lives in walsall..........top bloke though i liked him very much. He was very very patient with me

[SCN_Saul]

phil, let me know what simon says (lol) if you want i might be able to scratch his back if he scratches ours

still might sort one out, dont think jbs will be able to (flooded last month) awesome maybe as WRC went down the pan

anyone else with a decent RR setup?

[Cafe.Racer]

Ah, is that what happened! I thought WRC were a "big money signing".

Dunno, mate. I just wait for you to do all the work then go along, eat butties and take the piss.

Awesome's good, but there's always the problem of comparing their figures with everyone elses. Not a problem with lots of SCN cars, but I'd want a happy dyno to comapre the e91 with other published graphs

[SCN_Saul]

i might have a word with jim and see how rwd motors are coming out on the rollers

[Cafe.Racer]

Wilko ran his 330d (e46) there I think.

Edit: 240 whp 360 ftlbs with e-maps

[SCN_Saul]

i was there, i just didnt pay any notice, its a diesel uurrrgh
