anyone got one on here at the mo? ive recently bought a 52 530d sport touring auto-superb car,everything i need.
how much better are they with a remap? dont really drive fast nowadays but could do with a bit more economy.on a run to france last week it averaged 40 but round town it seems quite a lot worse.i know its a 3.0 6cyl so it may be the norm.

maybe i should have got an e46 320d sport touring but they are a bit small for me....

I had the E39 530d M Sport but mine was a manual.....ALOT better on fuel as i found when i bought the newer E60 530d Auto......

BUT.....I had my E39 remapped and it was superb......

Also, make sure all the stats are working correctly as this has a huge difference on the MPG on these engines, but i would deffo get it remapped...so much smoother and enjoable mate

the auto's are known for being noticeably worse on juice, remap will help a bit too.
even my 3.0 petrol was/is better after a remap with a tiny bit more go and far more responsive. i can only imagine the diesel being far better after a remap, my tdi bora was.
