I used them a few years back, that was on a Megane F1 225bhp, which they got 253bhp out of (stage 1)

I think at the time they specialised in Renaults so there was plenty of information about what they could do with them on the meganesport forum, While I can't vouch for their BMW tuning ability they certainly did a good job with my F1

What engine is yours?

They have done a few of my cars my 389bhp Astra gsi
And they got 378bhp out of my 335d E90

Paul and speccy down there know exactly what they are doing mate

Wouldn't hesitate taking any of my cars to them

Yep, they did my F30 335d xD. And my last E90...

Highly recommended.

What did they get from your f30 mate?

Just what I was going to ask.

When I rung Paul around 3 months ago he told me around 365bhp
Be nice to know what he achieved

Paul settled for this in the end. 364hp & 570lb/ft. He did get more power at times, but the relative torque wasn't as good. Having seen lots & lots of cars on his dyno I feel pretty sure that if mine went on someone else's the figures could well show higher... Note his rollers showing 294 standard, which I'm sure will be 'conservative'... I can't believe it would have been a true 20hp down on supposed factory standard figures...

Did he have to remove the ecu and solder it to remap yours?
Also on the sports dials in the I drive does it show the new power figures or still 313bhp ?

I've had my 320d done by alive tuning in Louth, they got it to 207.8bhp & 436.3nm torque

Yes for ECU removal, but no soldering. Certain pins used on the 'bench' on the main circuit board but just held in place for programming. He did mine about 6 months ago... Unless there's a new mod since then it can't be modified to accept OBD port programming.
As for the sport dial display, the dials still just go to the factory maximum... But when you press the accelerator both just immediately show maximum. I'm not sure if they can be coded to illustrate the mapped maximum. Would be great if that could be coded. I have the lead & the programming software, got lots of stuff I'd like to code... I'm just not confident enough to try any coding yet. I really need to get my finger out and get the bottle to try!

Ahh, I see. What are the standard power figures for that?
