I've got a Bluefin (superchips) remap on my E90 330d and I reckon it's excellent. One of the main advantages is its easy to remove the map when you come to sell the car, and the Superchips unit can then either be sold on, or reprogrammed for your next car (at a cost, but less than buying a new unit)
The power delivery is really smooth - if you look at the charts its a very similar graph, just with more power and torque. Better throttle response tho, and obviously it's now a very fast car with the map. Claims of 275bhp are probably realistic. I cant comment on the 320d map, but would expect it to be good.
I had an A3 2.0TDi mapped at a mapping place in the past, and wasn't impressed. Power came in one huge lump (this is a characteristic of these engines, but made worth with the map) which would spin the wheels and made the clutch slip in top gear, and it seemed to introduce some flat-spots in the rev range.
