E92 325d m57 remap-Celtic tuning
Sorry if this has been answered before, I had a search and couldn’t find a lot of info, has anyone recently had any experience with these? Looking to get my car remapped, I’m in Bristol if anyone has any recommendations.
Thanks |

I know someone who had one from them and seem decent. I had my custom stage 3 done by glen at gbw, now gkr performance in oswestry. He is very good, custom tunes to your car (think that key from personal experience over years of remapping cars), has a rolling road now and can be found on fb. He will check your car is fully healthy before pushing it as far as you want.

I did my M57 325d with a bluefin map from superchips. Gives 250 bhp and 520nm of torque. Really changed the car for the better.
Can't remember hearing many bad things about Celtic. What are their claims for power increase. BW Chiptune inn Hayes get pretty decent reviews. |

Read bad things (in various frequency/severity) about all the tuners mentioned so far, except BW chiptune. Actually, I've not read anything about Avon tuning yet... Anyhow I'd go with BW, personally. They can work remotely if needed too.
I hope Avon works out well for you |

Thanks for all the advice, turns out the car was already mapped (a poor quality map apparently) Avon tuning have remapped it and it definitely feels much better, a lot smoother and the power delivery is better.

nearly every dodgy tuner says this pal,,its usually when they get a car on dyno,,reads around 255 bhp,,they say oh,,its got a shit map on it,,when in fact its the dyno over reading etc,,,so when you get tuned results,they are way over also,,but even the generic fuckers lke avon do it also,,they can also steal your original bmw stock map,,replacing it and keeping stock one for future etc

He is running 400+bhp from a compact 2.0d with twin turbo set up. BMW tuning for fun! If you dont have substance other than your opinion or what you have 'read' then keep your posts to yourself and stop influencing others. This is what they do to earn money, pay bills and feed families. Oh and my 'taxi' is running 425hp / 850nm from a 330d.... with real world driving factored in, not just glory figures.

Maybe they're fine etc, but I think it's pretty telling that literally nobody has a bad thing to say about BW... |

My point is, if you have first hand experience then by all means comment but if not then you are hurting their reputations without just cause. If you check gbw reviews they are all excellent on trustpilot and facebook. Its a competitive industry and there a plenty who try and make false claims and belittle other tuners. The only reason that he isnt on forums anymore is due to false claims, people trying to extract his methods and intellectual property. Spending hours trying to justify what he does.... When i came to tune mine i got in touch with jason at BW but had a 3-4 week waiting list and was only doing it part time. Other tuners wanted mine for upto a week to tune. SLT who mapped it previously didnt do a good job of it (all or nothing, not progressive). Glen did mine in a long single day, customised my tune and is always willing to help or give advice. He doesnt charge silly amounts and is a pure motorhead, so got my vote and was impressed with his knowledge and approach. At the time another tuner (who uses his custom stage mapping) came to see him for 2/3 days and told me he learnt more refining techniques from him then any other tuner he has met in the few years he has being doing it... says it all.

Mine was starting to fail and cost me approx £450...exchange.
Summary: With a 2 year parts and labour return to base warranty this re-manufactured unit is better than new condition, with the advantage of a new Kevlar friction ring which significantly increases lifespan. There is an even better one being sold stateside for around 1500USD... sold by sulphintuning.com
