    Default Need recommendations for Chip for 95 530iA

    Anyone chipped their 95, 530iA, M60 and notice improvements? If so, what did you notice and what chip did you buy?

    Thanks

    I got a JC chip, will buy Marks too if its ~ever done

    I noticed the power came on a little earlier and stronger up the rpms. I wouldnt want to go back to the stock chip at all. A slight improvement in mpg on the highway too.

    Pop one of them in and a 3:64 rear gear and you have a whole new car.

    Default Sounds like a good upgrade for my 530iA.

    Thanks for the info. I was not sure the chip made much difference as my 530iA is relatively slow from start and good at higher RPMs. I chipped my son's e36 and it is definitely better and more sporty even with an Auto.

    Which chip is better and why?

    Do you have the 3.64 Diff? What car can I get this from for my 530iA?

    ~not too much of a choice in the chips.

    ~I got it from Rigmaster, a few people save and sell parts on here, put an ad in th classifieds or PM Rigmaster.

    No rush as long as it's done in 2-3 yrs when I rebuild the engine w/ sport cams, change the diff and covert to a stick....
