Csl remap

[david]

We're changing a few parts this weekend on my Csl and on the E46 of my friend, he pics up my good used SS exhaut and I'm going on a New SS oversize header + cats + new X pipe with resonator. So just after we are going back for remap adjusments + dyno behind that

where to get a decent remap, we've looked around France, but with all the good and bad feedbacks we have and seen on Bmw forums in my country we are not too confident to get a try at french dealers and the 2 well knowed decent guy's making remaps don't have any dyno's. So we're looking forward to crossi the channel and get a decent remap + dyno on my Csl and the M3 E46 in UK

so, any good address?

we have in mind

- thorney motorsport
- simpson motorsport


so, advices are welcomed

thank for help

Both are good outfits..... go for the one nearest to you

But did it make it any better ????

Thorney look's easy access from my location and takes less time I would say even with a few more miles to drive, pop thru channel tunnel + a few hours drive and done, Simpsons look's to be around Bristol, nasty tripp by car, need to take the ferry and spend 2x8 hours in/out on the ferry + to drive there. Whent to Wales last year to have a few day's off with my wife around Tenby thru Bristol/swansea and tripp was really a nightmare it was pouring down buckets of water for 5 days with csl on cup's that was nasty....

I'm migh take option thorney trip and roads looks better

Initially I had a full Stage 2 remap: Miltek 100 cell cats, plus Miltek full exhaust system and ITG filter - 380bhp. Car felt a lot keener mid-range but there was an irritating rattle from the exhaust tunnel and a drone at times. My insurer wasn't happy either, so...

I have now reverted to a Stage 1 tune: Standard CSL 200 cell cats, plus Miltek system and ITG filter - 370bhp. Car feels almost identical to the Stage 2 tune but doesn't rattle at all or drone as much. Oh, and my insurer is placated once more!

I'm happy with the Stage 1 tune and de-limit. It was also nice to see that it is only 10bhp down (on that day's rolling road conditions) on the Stage 2 and it is marginally better on fuel economy with the standard 200 cell cats back in place.

i think all of these mods have very little real affect on the car, and i have some of them.

If you have gone for the exhaust mods simpsons (ESS) or thorney (superchips) will be able to make the most of the upgrades although dont expect too much overall.....

actually I have SS header, SS cat 100cc, X pipe and Einsenmann stage II rearbox with light remap and delimit

managed a good deal for a full SS exhaust with race header and race cat.

I'm not looking forward for Extra Hp and torque, I just need an re ajustement or a reset and a good remap matching with mods, a fresh check up with good sparkpluggs, filter and whatever comes around. But something and done by someone serious, not a jackass.

will probably make a jump at thorney in october, will give him a ring to get an appointment

for reasons of sound and looks I can understand why people want to play around with exhaust parts on the csl. But in terms of outright power i think you are pretty much wasting your time on what is already a well-mapped engine from factory. For the money vs. Actual improvements I really wouldn't bother. And you could even lose power and torque by messing around with the headers and trying to match with recalibrated software.

good luck with whatever you go for and hope it feels good when done - but personally I would not start messing around with such a good factory setup.

I understand your point of view, Csl stock is already a extremly good weapon on track, but... I'm Tickeld by my few friend around me owning for exemple E46 with ESS TS, ASA compressors or M5 60 and GT3 RS4 or RS6.... I had the opportunity to get a Header oversize with 100cell cat oversize for stock price without VAT and sell back my stuff near new for rather the same price, I just have to drop a few extra £ to have the stuff. The remap I had is just a basic ship tuning done by a local dealer, not a M3 specialist, and he could not even get my car on his 2 wheeler dyno because is doesn't know how to pass around the DSC/ECU system.

So this time, I just want things to be done perfectly, with the results and done clearly propally with all what come's with it. nothing more, whatever the power is, just want a perfect ajustement.
