I got one in my E34 M50 engined 525i and there is a noticeable increase in Torque low down and more pep in the top end, economy is just as bad or good as it was before. Makes it feel a bit more like a M30 535i. Anyway at 30 euros it was cheap enough that it didnt matter one way or other seeing as no soldering is nessacary. |

We need a back-to-back test - so swap out the chip and tell us what the difference is |

.....not sure for definite cos theres so many other things but, i am sure it revs cleaner to the red line. the original felt flat at 4k revs where as now its more linear

These are usually rubbish IIRC. If you want to get proper gains then go to a reputable chip expert or remap specialist!
