Dei...you took that "girl" out ah! Habis la....i can imagine just how wild & scared she screams in the co-driver's seat. She sat once before in my ride and she almost pulled the upper holding bracket off! Lucky me she didn't take it 1 step further and piss in her pants!
:24:Hi guys, Sorry I missed the session. But did anyone with a 520i 2.2 get any good results from the remap?
I've read Realred's posts and I figure the stock 530 already pulls like a train, although it feels heavy from the get go. With the lightened throttle response and some performance increments, it must now drive like a dream hence the happy posts.
Quite hard to translate that remap success on a 530i to that to a 520i, which pulls smoothly like my little pony n friends, although it does hv a livable decent midrange but not much top end. Hopefully someone who has remapped his/her 520 2.2... can share

Hi bro 556129,
of course for 2.2 engine could not compare with realred78 530i. after remap the car actually feel more pick-up, and better respond in the range 2000 - 3000 rpm. you can feel the car are really going without lagging. anyway i am happy with the remap

Bro,
It depends on whether there is anyone who wants to do the remapping. Bernard, is coming to KL for just the day but said he is willing to stay back if there are cars wanting remapping. So it all depends on the number of cars.

I'll be away on 24th, and back in KL on 25th morning. I don't think Bernard will wait for me. Nevermind, I'll wait for next upcoming opportunity.

Bro, if you want to do your remapping on 25th, Bernard will stay on in KL. His trip to KL is for some other reason. He felt that since some guys missed out on the last session, he would stay on a few days if there is anyone who wants to do it.
This is not an organised remap session.

You got that right :smokin:
Thought I would share this with you guys. I found that my engine oil over the last few days has been a bit low. It occurs especially after I have given the car a good push (which I have been doing a lot off lately :wink. I decided to take it to my mechanic, Steven, and he found that it had gone down a little bit. After a full check and confirming that there was no leak, he suggested that I just top it up.
I then told him that I had remapped the ECU. He was a bit skeptical about it being a conservative mechanic by nature. He told me that couple of his customers had done remapping before and that when diagnosing the ECU, there was always some fault reading coming up. He proceeded to plug in to diagnose my setting and to his surprise found that there were no faults. He did notice however, that the Engine temperature was at around 108 degrees compared to a stock which is around 105. He suggested that I change my engine oil to 10W60 instead of 5W40 which I have been using. The 10W60 is a a much thicker oil which he said is used by the M5 and M3. So he replaced the oil and and took it for a test drive.
Upon testing the car, he was amazed by the responsiveness of the car. He was even surprised when I told him the cost of the remapping. His other customers had spent around RM 2,500 for their remapping which did not produce the result that was expected. He actually was stumped. The first time in the 18 years that I have known him, he was actually amazed by an after market product.
It also show you what a great job Bernard did for my UDM. :rock: :top:

Hi brother Realred78,
over the last few week after remap i also push my car hard, i like the feel of the pick-up you know what happen after this ? my water pump leak. drive to Albert to replace the water pump and found out the water pump is from stock 2003 till now. i also ask him to diagnose my car use his GT diagnose system and did not found any fault coming out. i will keep monitor my engine oil see there is any drop of it.
