Chipping a 130i

Franco · 03-12-2009, 07:44 PM

Does anyone have any experience with chipping a 130i?

I know there are not as many benefits in chippng a N/A engine compared to a turbo but I want a relatively cheap performace upgrade.

Does anyone know anywhere good in Aus, preferably Perth?

I chipped my 325i using a "Powerchip" (Victoria I think). I never dynoed it but it certainly seemed to improve the top end and increased the rev limit by ~500rpm. It was supposed to add ~13KW.

I emailed DMS about chipping the 125i and 130i, here are the facts for the 130i
130i Stock - 195kw and 315nm $2400 fully installed

DMS - 216kw and 346nm
