Hi all.

I have a BMW e46 and my mate has recently purchased the computer and other necessary parts required to perform engine remapping.

He has offered to do mine for me, but as you can imagine I am a bit skeptical about it.

has anybody had any experience with engine remapping? If so, what are some common problems that can be caused by remapping? How likely is it to go wrong? and also, how badly can / will it go wrong?

Thanks for any advice

Lets just say I paid £300 for my remap and theres gotta be a reason for it costing that much !! That should answer your question !!

This something I'd like, but I often worry about extra petrol, excess engine wear etc...

Something I need to read up on I think!

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      As an "Old Bloke" (big 80 has been and gone) I just dont see cutting corners as saving money ?? over a very long driving life I have owned many many cars I have always maintained my own cars (mix of maintaining Dealer Warranty and self). At one point when in business my cars were changed on a mileage basis but after retirement did I want to spend £50k+ on a new car, NO! so My BMW X5 4.6is and may wifes Subaru Outback 3.0 (2003 and 2004) were the last. The X5 and the Subaru are still going strong both around 160k and maintained by me in my Home Garage everything on both cars works as it should (as an aside both cars have had engine upgrades and give 400+whp) both cars are and have been 100% reliable. As the 4.6is is quite rare in the UK 3 years ago I brought a cheap 3.0d X5 and after fixing the bodges I have a reliable and economical X5 to tow with and stop the mileage building on the 4.6 Wrong coolant can do as much damage as no coolant as can a stuck or no thermostat (longer warm up times using more fuel) I agree with using recycled parts to save money just never Tyres Brakes or Suspension parts they are all that is between you and a ditch Dave
