Just got a DMS remap. And it's the bananas! Pics attached.
For the few people considering a map I would highly highly recommend DMS Automotive. They done a great job on my 640d GC. The pull from 40-130 is seamless and pulls so hard. If anyone has any questions fire away.

NIIIICE!!!
12bhp more than me, torque looks about the same 545ftlb ish ? very respectable gains for a simple remap with no extra / replacement parts

impressive for a diesel. How does the car feel?

I know DMS says once the car beds in with remap it'll get even quicker.

What's your current mileage? I've done ~86k in my 640d so far and I'm in two minds about getting it remapped - I'm afraid of breaking it! I spend a lot of time overtaking trucks and tractors on country roads. Do you think the turbo will cope with all the added strain?

Yeah same I think performance wise I'm done. Subtle mods next: spacers springs dechrome side light and potentially powder coat the wheels and calipers. I think after that I'm done. |

With mine from new I've had a dip in response at 2000 revs when I'm in 7th or 8th gear and it was like really bad lag, since the remap it's better but still there. I even tried a normal unmapped 640d and it was exactly the same. Because mine's a contract car I've had to keep the RF's, I expected the rears to wear out quicker with more power but changed them at 16,000 with the fronts changed at 28,000. It's such a shame in the UK that we didn't get the Xdrive choice as these 6ers would be even quicker and chances are I would've kept the car after the contract ends.

Slightly off topic but I'm due a service in around 1,000 miles did it wipe the map off when you service it? I get so much tyre squeel when accelerating with these RFT I can't wait to get them changed! |

They've charged me £900 inc vat each time which i think for the performance and back up is cheap. If you got a group of you to go to DMS I'm sure they'd do an even better deal.

Yeah definitely worth the money. I need to check what service I need. Has anyone taken a loan car from BMW and it ever been anything saucy? They gave my friend a m140 once and I was shocked.

I picked up a 2016 640d GC last weekend. Currently on 22,500 miles and looking to get it remapped by DMS. Can I ask what the mileage is on your car now? You said you've had it mapped for over 32,000 miles with no issues which is very reassuring. Just wanted to know how you're getting on with it over a year later from writing your post. DMS seem to be the go to people from what I've read. Interested to hear the thoughts from others too. Cheers
