Performance Chips
Hey all,
I'm new to this site and forum and had a question for my first post. I have already posted this in the General and E30 forums, but am trying to reach as many people as I can. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using Performance chips in their E30. I have a 1987 325e and was looking on the internet for parts and saw an AC Schnitzer Peformance chip that is supposed to raise HP 26-28, torque 24-26lb, increase fuel economy and get rid of the top speed governor. I was wondering if the chip really worked and if it was worth it. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me anything that I should know about using performance chips for my E30. Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this and for your advice. Please e-mail me at bjsteinb@uiuc.edu with any insight. -BeemerGuy20 |

I'm sure that horse power gain is over rated, add a K&N drop in and a heat shield in to the mix and you will come lots closer to 25hp gain. I personally think my chip helped my 325iC a great deal but then thats just what I feel in the seat of my pants----->

what other mods do you have...
IHE Intake - Header - Exhaust Go with the basics the chip - then dyno tuning, you'll notice the gains with proper tuning - including bolt ons |
