[JpMcC]

[Crouchy]

Id like to know which chip this is too. Ive also been thinkin of getting mine chipped.

There is a company on ebay that get the ecu remaped to 135hp but they say it is undetecable but i have heard it is detectable

correct, no chip is undetectable

tuners might say they are, but hey how will you know till you have an accident and your insurance company refuse to pay and BMW was their hands of it due to the chip, anyone that says they are I would not buy a chip or retune off, as they should not be trusted

congratulations, hope you have told your insurance company, as I know I would hate to be hit my a driver that hasn't declared something like this as he would be an un-insured driver

[mike4]

well that burst my bubble . I have just told them.

it cost 175 and the guy came to me for a small extra fee for petrol etc, depends were you live i suppose the website link is http://www.mini2tuning.co.uk/ its definatly worth it though

[simon51]

Do you know where they are based? I'm interested in getting mine done now it's out of warranty!

but its the right move, you would hate to have something happen and be faced with the loss of your car and huge costs and legal action etc..

still made a saving from not buying a Cooper, so think of that and smile

[M1OUTT]

on the actual bmw diagnostics ti is undetectable, but insurance companies may be a bit more warey. As for wwwmini2tuning.com i cant see a remap promising 135-140bhp figures seeign as thats the only mod. all other chips and retunes say 30bhp increse or 35 but a 45-50 seems a bit too steep. iv highly modified my one wit a mth remap and on rollers i got 141bhp.

[tmvdv]

141bhp? that's quite an increase!
have you modded other parts to cope with the power then?

thinking more along the lines of clutch etc, not brakes :P

out of intrest how mutch did ur insurence go up by when you told them?

[mike4]

insurance didnt go up by much as i told them it was a 10% increase. i think hes based in birmingham, hes 144 miles from Guildford if thats any help! ,

[Scby555]

they just perform the same OBD ecu remap that MTH do etc. but if you do the MTH yourself you will save money and you will be able to get any problems resolved with a new map.
