Once my car is run-in (it ain't even delivered yet) and others have done so here, might consider it.

Well he may have been having a bad day, but he said that for now they had sort of given up trying to rewrite the eprom.
But seeing as Roy has done Nicks 335d, which I am sure would use similar encryption there must be something on the way, I will use him to to do mine if he has a map for the 335i. |

First post... be gentle...
How long do you have to wait till a DMS remap is not going to damage car? I'm on 3K mileage at the moment. Also how will it improve 0-60 for 320d? |

I waited around 300 miles on the 535d, just do it.
You will get around 205bhp, and knock a good second off maybe a little more. Do a search for DMS 120d on google, that will return a review. |

Bloody noobs!!!! Only kidding Its recommended you have broken in the engine first - anything after 4-5k I would of thought. There has been others that have remapped well before this with no problems. No definate times but from what I've read, its a lot quicker and well worth it.

I thought "broken in" is more like 1k ? Isn't that the official BMW break-in point at which you can start to drive like you stole?

So you would ignore the advice in the manual and drive like you stole it from day one 0 miles ? I've always had ex demos so although I'm looking forward to my car I wasn't so keen on having to drive it like my grandma for a few months

Everyone will tell you differently, I would tend to push it quite hard from day one, don't be silly and let the engine warm up properly and cool down maybe a bit longer than usual but don't nanny it.

Also, if there's any part I would like to upgrade, I do it whist the car is new. It's soooo much easier to remove the nuts and bolts. I really dislike working on cars with rust and seized components! Quote:

Thanks guys, I will go with the fun route So how far from my dealer before it will be warm enough to floor it ? I was concerned they might be able to tell like in Days of Thunder where he comes back in and there's a thing on the speedo that shows he blew it

Steady 1st - the Gloucestershire mob will be around if you don't

Paddywac can give you the low down on the improvements of the 320d via DMS. I'll I can say is that I couldn't match his pace by a good margin, and he was glued to Beauforty's (330i) back bumper even though they were both going for it
