500 quid?!

Wow, I'd send it back mate. Speedtouch on here does the same chips 22+ BHP chips for 35 quid I think. I have one in my m30b35, they are good.

Speedtouch chips are a rep of the BBR chip (same thing)

Similar, yes, not quite the same. There are subtle differences in the program. :wink:

Whether they actually manage to sell any at £500 is another thing, of course...

I've got one of your chips in mine Maurice, and was very pleased with how it has changed my car, more of a shove in the back mid-range, and seems smoother when driving slowly around town. Actually, I think i might have bought it off of you Lee, can't remember it was a while ago!?

Good to hear that, fella. :)

I had one in a 1988 E34 535iSE and it certainly went well.
