B.A.S.
Had a nice surprise this week for my birthday. The mrs organised a BAS remap box from Pete. She does listen to me sometimes, not always, but she obviously had this one on the back burner for a little while.
anyway, kudos to Pete. Very helpful over the phone, tried a few variations on the map, but went back to the original ECO map as my set-up.
Smoooooth is not the word, overtakes are now a joy and getting 29mpg on a run with MTR's on Low down torque makes quick (for a 3tonne car) get-aways and find myself not using 'sport' now as the flexibility in normal 'D' is top notch.
All in all, a very good birthday pressie.

As I keep saying, it's not a question of whether to remap or not, it's a question of which one!!!

Agreed, the D3 is more usable/responsive and enjoyable once you remap. Its like a totally new car.

Yip
Most impressed. I ran the extreme map and was at what the D3 was able to do, but that's not for me. If I wanted to have a car that goes like the clappers, I would not have bought a D3. For me the mix of drivability, smoothness and low down grunt is and makes the D3 a lot better.
