has anyone remapped or had remapped a 3.0d x5, playing with the idea but not sure how it will affect the car ie. performance, economy, issues etc.
cheers.

same as the 530d......it will be much better with a remap......

better on fuel, nicer drive..........what more do you want

also like to know this as my lass is looking at getting one

was more concerned with the extra stresses put on the drivetrain, especially the 4wd side of things.

i got andrew gallacher to do my x5 3.0d sport a couple weeks ago goes much better now & better on fuel perfect

in what way does it improve them pal, had mine a couple of years and thought the extra shove would be a good move, how different is it?

just drives better mate getting 30 mpg now was only getting about 26-27 now not a great deal but is faster you get to 70-80 alot easier ! drives much better low down. i would get the gear oil changed in it tho its a must with them after 60k they start banging down the gears when you come to a stop if you dont catch them in time it will need a box they are bad for boxes

scryby

had the gearbox oil changed at last service so no worries there.
thanks for the info.
