M50B25 with VANOS chips

Post Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:24 pm

Does anyone do chips for M50B25 VANOS?

Don't want anything wild/track, just looking for mild/street.

How can I best nudge the engine past 200bhp (assuming the block, head, injectors etc... are good)?

Cams? exhaust system?

Thanks

Never seen generic chips for the vanos lumps

BMW did such a good job in the first place?

Custom remap worth anything (streetable)?

I have to confess I was considering one of these:

But I imagine to get most benefit out of your money you'd need an S50.

I guess cams get complicated with VANOS, and most likely will just shift the torque up the rev range a bit.
