What does 370bhp feel like in an X5D from an acceleration perspective, is it worth getting the remap ? Any downside?
I was thinking of getting this done at Evolve.

I had mine done couple months ago from Evolve. Yes it does make a difference. Pottering about at normal speeds you can barely tell though initial pull away you notice you don't need to be on the accelerator as long to get up to the same speed, probably where you get the improved MPG savings from. Soon as you give it the beans your well planted into your chair and speed climbs up rapidly. I've fitted X5M brakes to my car certainly a better pedal feel.
We did try the X5 on there Dyno Dynamics rolling road but as they previously warned me it wouldn't be accurate due to the way the 4x4 system works on our cars. They had issues with other 4x4s aswell but still they were happy to give it a go even though it was very much inaccurate.
My previous 330D was also mapped from Evolve so they come highly recommended.
