Have recently just done the same to my car. Managed to find a product called 'DTOX' which is approved by BMW. I think it may be new on the market. From memory I think it cost approx. �14 and was O.K. to use with CATS.

A few of us have used D-Tox as metioned by Ant above and have definately noticed a difference. I noticed a small difference on my M3 but I know another Guy, Stone Island M3 noticed a big difference on his 96 M3 so it must be doing something good.

I've just added ZX81, bought from Halfords. Used this in the past on a Celica which had slightly noisey Cams once ZX81 was added it quietened it down. I saw the d-tox too will give it a try next week.

See Ya..............

ZX81? Wasn't that a primitive home computer made by Sinclair?
