My 520d has the N47 engine with 184hp stock. Is stage 1 remap worth it on this engine? Mainly want better overtaking power on the highway. Dont want to sacrifice fuel economy too much tho.

What kind of numbers can I expect?

    Did mine last year. Fuel economy stayed the same or even slightly better because you dont need to rev as hard. Best mod I ever did on my 520d.

    Absolutely worth it on the N47. You can expect around 220-230hp and 450nm with a good stage 1 map. The torque increase is the real benefit for highway driving.
