your 93 octane is the same as 98 ron octane?

Perhaps I will buy a chip later, would like to see some performance figures. My car doesn't drive yet, just finished an M42 swap this weekend

Yea I just ordered mine!

How many orders have you had now Mark?

You can put me down on the people that have paid list!
My paypal email is scooterpatch6465@peoplepc.com though
not my normal email address.
I went ahead and payed the full 230$ as it says you will just
send the discounts back. Are you going to do that via
paypal? Orrrr some other way?

Thanks!

I'm sending them back via PayPal. I had planned to do it this past week but had a bunch of work to do. I have to count up the total, and I'll post it here. I think I just got one or two more. The discounts will definitely go out this weekend.

Great! Yea this is my first part/mod or heck anything Ive purchased for this car. Ive only owned it for about 2 weeks haha...

Is it hard at all to install the chip??? And does it come with instructions?
I know that sounds like a huge newb question being that I already bought the chip but I am a very new to this car and BMW's.

Cant wait to get the chip though...should I be checking the mail for it sometime this week??

Its pretty easy, but your fingers have to work a bit more gingerly than when you are, say, yanking out a tranny, and you do want to be careful because you can mess up some electronics if you do something wrong. Here's some good write-ups:

Your welcome, Sheldon.

I also sent all the discounts out this morning via PayPal, so you should have yours also.

I am going to wait till after work tomorrow to install it as I think I still have 91 in my tank but Im soooooo excited! I think Im also going to do my oil change tomorrow as well as a good o'l tune up!

Chip is here and installed. 93 octane. Got the refund as well. Thanks for hosting the GB Mark, it has been a pleasure working with you.

As for the chip, midrange is infinitely better, and I can keep up with traffic without going over 3k rpm (not that I ever drive that slow

). Fuel economy seems to be about the same. The best part is being able to spin the wheels going into second

as well as the 7k rpm redline. It's like a whole new car!!
