Chipped Breadvan

[flying trotter]

Just back from a blast across Europe (Chunnel-Heidelberg-Frieberg-Geneva-Dijon-Chunnel)having had the 'van chipped

I was unsure whether it would make a meaningful difference - but it certainly does - from 5500 rpm to 7700 rpm it really moves

Has anyone on the board gone for the ACS suspension upgrade - if so I'd welcome thoughts on its value

Ian,

What chip did you install? Superchip?

Is the breadvan still under BMW warranty, or how did you go about not risking to invalidate it?

Thinking about doing that myself, 321 little ponies simply aren't enough

There was a thread a while back talking about the AC suspension kit. Try a search

I went for Superchips and with free flow K&N air filter

they do it with a software tweak which is supposedly hard to detect and is removable. They provide a top up warranty that supposedly kicks in if the manufacturers doesn't respond - I have some unease about this and would welcome hearing from anyone that has had an issue on this

I have to say it was my real concern and delayed my taking up the option - I guess if I blew something expensive at a speed above the level the limiter should kick in or with the ECU showing revs above 7500 rpm they could baulk and I'd have to try and get the top up to respond - I'm within 6 months of the end of the 3 years and will take the software off when I sell the car on/trade it
