Chipped UK??

Post Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:17 pm

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone know's if the 318is chip or any other chip that CHIPPED UK sells are any good, I haven't seen any sort of feedback from anyone regarding these Chips???
The 318is chip sounds great, with a healthy rise in BHP, estimated at 25bhp. It also states that it has been specifically designed for the 318is......

Any sort of feedback on this would be appreciated...

Cheers

I have one in mine and it works fine. Not had chance to really give it some stick, but it drives smoothly and there's no problems with it at all.

The chip increases the rev limiter as well. It's smoothed out my idle and gives the acceleration a little more urgency.

Hope this helps...

Hiya Pal318is, i had a chip of Chipped uk about 2 years ago for my 325 sport, ive had absolutely no probs with the chip, my car runs good at high revs as stated, infact the car seems to thrive on it.
By the way Pal, i live in Bedfordshire myself, a little village called Arlesey.
I work on the Elms Industrial Estate, 30 seconds away from Elms BMW.
You coming to the Stevenage meet this Saturday ?????????????

Dude I love the motor, the leather looks sweet as a nut!!
Unfortunately I ain't gonne be able to come to the the Stevenage meet this Saturday, due to prior arrangements, bit of a bummer really would have been nice.
I know where Arelsey is and yes it's not that far from Bedford, considering it's not that far, I don't think I have ever seen your car out and about in Bedford??!! Maybe you should mo-zee on down one time and have a get together?? Have a chat and show the Bedfordian's what E30's are all about!!!
My little bro's just aquired a 318is too.....Hence, it RUN'S IN THE FAMILY........!!!

Cheers

I have one in my 318iS, before and after dyno tests

Before 136BHP (every single time)

After 147.7 with chip and K&N panel filter

Had some air leaks now fixed and yet to dyno again, i expect to get APPROX 155bhp

Post Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:49 pm

Ooooh, good results.

I've got the chip, a large bore throttle body, a K&N cold air induction kit and a free flow stainless exhaust system. If I could get 155bhp, I'd be happy. Not had it dyno'd though... It's got ALL new air pipes too, as I had problems with them before.

Are you the only one in the village?

Only Kidding, sorry!

People have differing view on chipped UK, I get the impresssion that people like his chips but have had trouble with postage etc.

I've had no problems from him, but don't forget the Zone chips! They're rather good.

Are these chips a DIY thing then? Should I pop one in the M3?

Post Thu Mar 24, 2005 9:20 am
