Anyone chipped a 320i...

... at the risk of being flamed for asking such a question, but , what the heck.

I know the numbers won't show much of a gain, but I'm more interested in improvements in 'driveability', throttle response, etc.

SOooooo, anyone done it, and if so, where....

Thanks!

PS Mine is a 2007 E92 320i M Sport. <<< like it says over there.....

Try Evolve.

I know it's not a BMW but I had an mk3 golf gti done at AMD when they were is Bicester.
A remap plus Magnex exhaust saw a 21bhp and 36lb/ft improvement. The drivability and fuel ecomony was much improved.

I'd be really interested in knowing how you get on. I have considered getting a Sprint Booster for my 320i as it can be very sluggish unless you really floor the accelerator.

I had a 316d (116bhp) courtesy car and even it was nicer to drive round town.
