So what delivers more power than a chipped TDV8 without any loss in MPG?

5.0 sc  Gone,,TDV8 arctic frost,black leather,colour coded handles,rear entertainment,sunroof.
1980 Rolls Royce,shadow 2 in white.
Gone 07/57 TDV8 santorino,black leather.chrome handle's/mirror's.
Gone 02/52 FFRR vogue.

I made sure I added without any loss in MPG?

I'm very tempted to get mine remapped, it made a great difference to my 335d. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

the last one i had chipped at well lane turbo's was a ffrr 1998 2.5 dse,thats only because they were under powered & needed it but these v8's have more than enough power

Some people would say the same about the 2.7 TDV6, but not all of us would agree! WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Please excuse my ignorance... When the next person goes to superchips for a 'remap' will they just get the original posters maps put onto their ecu? I am always dubious of 'chip' companies as mapping a car is very specific to the car and its engine, the last car I had remapped took 5 hours to map properly. Would a company like superchips fit a average map or would they take the time to do a specific map to each car? I have a 08 4.2 SSC and have to say the Overfinch engine upgrade is of interest to me but think I might as well look at other options first... MY00 Subaru Impreza P1 Sonic Blue 350BHP 320 Ft-Lbs

Absolutely respect your point of view. It's not everyones cup of tea and if your V8 gives you everything you need then why spend the money. I only do it for amusement not to be the fastest on the road  Keith M
