don't know anyone with a bmw thats bought one but one guy i know has a golf vr6 and he bought one, he reckons it gave bit more power and the rev limit was raised too. chip been in his car few weeks now i think with no problems

interesting.... yea i mean the theory is there.... but i dont see that it can give it more power and make the fuel consumption better... because anyone who knows engines knows that too get more power u have too put more air and therefore mor fuel in (you dont want it running lean now do you)

They are not that cheap.
You can get a chip for £65 that you know will work.

the only one that worries me is "rolling road showed little or no difference" from one guy... but other people say they have noticed a big difference it has given life too older high mileage engines etc

i know but i have spent ages looking threw it... and there are quite a few that have waited till they have fitted the chips to leave feedback and there are alot of people who seem too think they work...
im not saying it defitily will... im saying im gonna bite the bullet and give it a try. if it does then i will tell you lot on here and then you will all know...
if it doesnt then we all know not too bother

have you seen the majority of people who use ebay...? Most will pay the money and 'notice' a difference as theyve been told there will be one..

im sure i bought one from those guys! and so far so good! noticed a difference, it cleared all the nasty flat spots thro the revs, didnt change the dam consumption tho! has a slight fluctuation on idle but dont think this is the chip. and a bigger bonus mine was a lot cheaper home and delivered than the one you have there, i think i emailed him with a offer and he accepted it, so try it! what can you lose!!!

i got one for my girlfriends 316i m40 , its made the idle go up and down between 500-1500 revs also the rev limiter has come down to 4500rpm. not good

i've emailed the bloke and am waiting for response to send another or refund. mine was on a best offer @£20 , i will keep you updated.

well im gonna try it lol... if it messes with my car or doesnt work then it gets put back in the packaging and i lodge a complaint, if it works then all is well and i get another 7-10 bhp for forty quid. cant lose really.
plus i will get the instructions for free then and can fit another working chip.
