Car Forum / BMW Cars / March 2008Looking for new car
I cueently own a 95 E34, looking to purchase an 03 525 or 530 (sport) I like the added power of the 530, but came accross a clean 525. Any suggestions on how to chip-up the 525, and what HP that will net me? Thx. > I cueently own a 95 E34, looking to purchase an 03 525 or 530 (sport) > I like the added power of the 530, but came accross a clean 525.

The old "chip" the car worked by advancing the timing which on non-adaptive cars was set conservatively by the manufacturer. And you can't "chip" them - the ECU has to be re-programmed now, there are no replaceable chips in it. > > I cueently own a 95 E34, looking to purchase an 03 525 or 530 (sport) > > I like the added power of the 530, but came accross a clean 525.

Thx, I guess that makes my decision easy (or harder maybe) |
