E89 3.0SDrive just had it remapped & performance exhaust sounds awesome without being chavey & definitely increased acceleration with a smooth take off roll on summer with top down :D

Do you know how much extra power it's added to the peak & what it's producing now?

254bhp to 280bhp even in normal mode the pick up on acceleration is noticeably significant well pleased & I think worth the money

Do you realise the sport button adds no extra power?

Rob, what does it do? I understand it can't physically add more power, but it must change the ratio of fuel and oxygen or something? I know it likes to hold the gear longer in sport, so maximises the acceleration you'd get... Anything else? Possibly difference in the steering? Cheers :)

only thing it does is make the ratio of the gas pedal different. so with less pedal travel you give the same amount of "gas" (but has nothing to do with the mixture!)

that, and stiffen up the electronic steering a little bit

I have also found that pushing the sports button changes the colour of my pants to brown. Dont think it mentions this in the blurb.

Yes even in sport mode it is definitely more responsive was fun to drive before but even more so now was sceptical about having done but did a little homework & had feed back from other remap converts & had very good feed back from a company Mr tyre in Leicester.The guy James very knowledgable & explained in layman terms what to expect no regrets so far :D
