Was a propper mapping session on the rollers I believe. Like I said all the work was done by the previous owner. It's scary looking through the receipts folder...

It would appear a lot of money has to be spent to get decent gains. Just glad I wasn't the one doing all the spending!
Cool. Not many people want to/can remap Motronic anymore.

It made 204.3 horsepower(164 at whp) at 5729Rpm and 219.6lb ft at 3968Rpm. This was just after the previous owner had it built by BMW.

I would personally like to see how these figures would compare to a 2.5 with the same goodies.
Good results,any idea of the cost of building? Any usable power below 2000rpm?
Do you really need power below 2000rpm?
Fraid so!! The wife 'drives' the car as well... :(
