Hi guys.Ive got a standard 318i,only mods are wheels and suspension,nothing performance based.
The car isnt to bad,quite nippy,but it would be nice to have a little extra pull in the low gears (ie through town :cool: )

Would a chip (Zone/Chipped UK Viper Chip) make much differnce? I know they can have quite noticably effects on the 318is,and 325's etc but would it be a waste of money for my car?

:mad: Has it got a CAT on it? Should be ok if it hasnt. I was going to do that mod about a year ago, twas advised not to because the lambra probe on the exhaust would over compensate.

Have a chat with Adam He da man :cool: .....MaK
