Bro ... what MSpeed is offering is a software upgrade from BMW for the DME and gearbox ECU (step and SMG) highly recommended bro To determine the software version you have for your car would be to plug-in diagnostic tools into your OBD-II port ... there may be other ways to find out or not An ECU remap however is different it usually alters the fuel and ignition mapping based on the tuners test vehicle ... it is uploaded via OBD-II port[/I] Above is the quote from other thread. At 1st I though after reading the comments and advice i got better picture on "Remap". But the more I read the more I confuse!!! Ha3.......... sorry for being such a noob!
