Hi
I want to buy a chip for my 325i touring but the site requires you to enter personal details prior to purchase, but the site does not appear secure, (no padlock at bottom).
Is there another way to purchase one of these chips.
Cheers

have you checked at the point where it asks for card details. this is the only part that is required to be secure. most smaller online shops like the zone shop use a third party company to handle car transactions. these companies invariably have secure servers.

that is indeed the case with the zone shop, the Card transaction section is SSL and totally secure

It looked fishy to me so I just called up instead.
