chicho13 · 07-15-2011, 03:18 PM

hi i was wondering if theres any chips for the 128i, ive been trying to look for something to make it faster. i already have an afe intake and a mangaflow exhaust.. any suggestions

There are really only 2 choices

AA DME softwear or BMS Power Box.

I like the BMS PowerBox as it is not a softwear down load, hence no warranty flagging issues. The Box is easily removable if needed. It gives Throttle re-map and timing / fuel bumps on the top end. Personally the re-map is well worth it.. gets totally rid of the dead pedal feeling. Great for track or street.

My .02

I recommend the AA tune

I had the PBX for awhile, it's a good bang for buck mod, but the tune is a level above.

I also recommend a tune. You can get much more out of the engine with a proper tune. Also most tuners now offer you a BlueFin or something similar so you can put back the original setup back whenever you want.
I Recomend these 2 companies that have been talked about here before... But it seems that they are the most reliable in the Market here in Europe. Its a matter to ask them if they have someone that works with them in America.

Use Google translator for the translation.

I also know of another US company that has a really good product that is called Mynes Tuning. i am not sure they have anything for for the bmw yet, but for Minis... its becoming very popular!

Here is a little explanation of their process

I really do not want to bash or anything like that of the powerbox. They might have some good things compared to a tune.

Enjoy

AA Tune is 2x the price but as Raine said a step above. This is what I am planning to get soon.
