22mpg, heavy right foot??!!

I get about 26 out of mine and its non vanos albeit the same basic engine.

Yes im sure martin will be able to tune it to your specific needs, even a generic map on your car will see + 30 bhp i would imagine. I will find out more,

What improvement could I expect from re-mapping the 520 e34? It's returning about 29mpg on the motorway and about 19mpg around town.

Can't say it's a slug, seems to be loads of the original 150bhp still on tap.

(Engine rebuild in 2004/2005).

Id say 10 to a max of 15hp extra and a 1-2mpg, Ill be getting my 525i done as i have heard positive reports, up to 207bhp, and these are essentially the same engine so id say it will increase alright, a k and n panel filter is next on the list, then find out if its got cats, if it does they are in for a rude awakening!!

Sorry, k&n are a manufacturer of uprated and free flowing air filters, make a few bhp increase, and catalytic convertors sap power, this car has either none or two, and if it does i will take the exhaust apart, beat out the filters and put it back together as a stright thru system, really notice increase in power then....

That makes sense.

With regards to the cat (or cats): Is it legal to operate a car originally fitted with a cat with the cat removed?

Would that be picked up on an NCT and the car failed?

Not on a 92 i imagine it would be still in good enough condition to pass an nct on emissions without them,

I don't know about Ireland, but here cars from 93 on are cat compulsary for MOT as I do remember my mate Adys car is a 91 with cat fitted but was told by the MOT tester that it wasn't needed on his car

Very good, i think its similar here but the older it is the less stringent the emissions test is so im not too worried,

Cats were introduced in the late eighties here. Don't know at what point they became compulsory. Reckon it was early ninties.

I have a K&N already. Just the panel filter. I have heard an induction kit wont work too well because of the heat in the E39 engine bay...

As for mpg who cares. If I wanted MPG I would be back in a PUG Turbo Diesel. (

I would like some more torque and better throtle response. If a map can rpovide that then Im in. Ben did you say 30bhp+. I cant imagne that sort of gain on a non turbo.... Maybe is misread you.

The E39 is a good bit heavier so that would make sense.
And yes I do rev it a bit... It goes down to 18-19 in town

Agree. Doesn't matter. But interested to see if it makes any difference. Also like to see if a fifteen year old actually beneifits from some additional umph.

Could try to make a joke about the legal age being 16 but that would probably just get me in trouble!

Sign me up aswell Ben.  Colin Ahern E36 323i

 I've been looking to do this for a while and I've heard of a crowd in Ennis that are doing it.Dont remember their name but I think its the Tyre place just before Tipsy McStaggers. Around  200 euros for the job

Mick - according to the auto remap website you should get an extra 12 ponies. If anyone wants to checkout the (reported)gains on their car         &nb sp;  Look

What price range are we taking here? If it's a group buy surely there should be a good discount.
E39 Black, DSG off.
