Had the CSL remapped

[anissut]

Guys, a bit of an update on this.

Car went into Andy at Murketts a couple of weeks back. Had a new clutch, flywheel, software, rtabs etc. all done under warranty. Also had the seat adjusted to tilt forward and that has made a huge difference to me, can really throw the car around even more now.

Anyway, got in the car at Murketts to drive home, turn it on and think, bloody hell, car's a bit quiet? Turn right out of the dealership and up to the roundabout and think, damn this feels a bit slow. Thought maybe I should turn around and go and get it checked out. Then I realised that the sport button wasn't on.

My remap from Evolve had programmed sport button memory. So basically the remap had been wiped when the did the clutch software. All I can say is that the remap was clearly bloody good because the difference was instantly noticeable. The remap also made the car sound louder and more mean so missing that as well.

Anyways, taking the car to Evolve next week to get it remapped for free again and may as well get my pads, hose and fluid done at the same time ready for SPA/Ring. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

He reckons he can get 300bhp out of my wifes X3 3.0d sport as well. Might get that done as well..........won't tell the mrs. though, lol.

Know the feeling!!!

I think youll find BMW have a new SMG software update an dthis was installed on your box

Mine was done as well :bigcry:

I bet it slows the gearchanges down and saves BMW some clutch money

They've been making it slower for a while, I've got very, very early software on mine :thumbs:

ive had mine remapped by Evolve and you guys coming in Wednesday are more than welcome to give it a go.

I had it done briefly before my recent visit to BMW but then returned to stock for a while but now have it back on again

Ill do a full review later after Bedford and Snetterton this week but it really IS worth doing

Hi Shimmy,

How much is the re-map and where are they based?

You'll do well speaking to Rob @ DMS Automotive www.dmsautomotive.com U'll be amazed what he can get out of the S54 engine (safely) ... I was :thumbs: especially @ 6200 rpm where the CSL has a flat spot :whistle:

Remapping the S54 is only going to bring benefits low down. No one is going get much more than BMW from the top end...

agree regarding healine power but you have to try Evolves as the car pulls very differently

Totally agree with Shimmy. My CSL was the first CSL to be remapped by Evolve and they know what they are doing. Compared to STD the car feels stronger to me throughout the rev range along with a meaner noise.

We could do a few "tests" on the SPA/Ring trip as I would be surprised if my car doesn't pull harder than a std CSL. I'm sure Evolve do a try before you buy anyway, right Shim?

I'm more interested if my car pulls better than it used to!

My data from trackdays should go someway to show if it is.

Not really Shimster - you're 100kg lighter with a different diff, lighter wheels etc etc etc

I couldn't agree more :thumbs: ... mine feels much more muscular in mid range then it did before RR, so much so that I don't feel the need to go to 7900 rpm for MAX power, all of the time :whistle:

Agreed mate but I'm totally convinced mine pulls better than it used to. I knew straight away when I put my foot down on a dual carriageway on the way back from Murketts. It felt flat and didn't pull as hard at any point through the rev range.

I can't believe that people remap a CSL :banghead:
After all BMW may cancel your warranty :bigcry: I know a car they have removed the bmw warranty from after it was remapped :whistle:


Buyer beware
