Simon did my 330d E92, great improvement and never missed a beat, and he's just a really nice person.

The ARBs are from Birds, so you'd need to ask Kevin about it. DT just do fitting and are pretty competitive anyway so don't imagine there's too much to be had there.

This is my worry about remapping, they have to physically remove the ECU, which (not sure about BMW, but with Audi) are secured with bolts that sheer off once tight, so you have to grind a slot into the bolt to undo it.

Assume this is what Emaps do as well? Has Simon confirmed what needs to be done, and what risks are involved?

PPK they remove the ECU and refit a new one so imagine the bolts undo fine.
