I think the three option switchable Evolve unit is a great idea and would make great sense on the 335d.

I would have one set as standard, one set up as economy mode for my M/Way driving and one for DXB beating mode which it is now.

Like Carlos has said for him and his circumstances it wouldn't make sense, but for most of us it probably would.

Another reason why it's a good idea is to reduce the amount of time it actually runs in it's most powerful mode. As we all know, remapping will accelerate wear and tear on various componants such as turbo's, drivetrain etc so being able to switch to a softer map for the times where you don't want to be thrashing the car will be extremely beneficial. I would say that the turbos on a remapeed car that is driven hard all of the time will be good for a max of 60k before they start to fail, in fact I would bet that quite a few that have done 40k will be passing oil already.....time will tell.
