The superchip subject always seems to come up in the forums every now & then. Basic the MINI COOPER & ONE have more BHP that the offical figures qouted by BMW. Thies is down to the altitude that the car were tested @ to get their power figures. Although I like the sound of a SUPERCHIP there are a number of pro's & con's of having such an item fitted

Increased Insurance Premium
Fuel Consumption Goes down
etc etc

Plus the fact that you cant tell the difference between a car that has the superchip & a car that doesnt when the cars are parked side-by-side
