His site says he has them for early 95 525's. Do you know what your production date is?

Also, for the m60 3.0 it mentions a field test for some software for $120?

OK the DME SAYS :
0 261 200 413 ..... this was the big number on the outside
( is there another number I should check or is this one good enough>?)
This number was also posted on Marks site ,
SO I GUESS I'm IN !!!

whats wierd is that the DME box has a lot of other little numbers onit ,
one of the numbers on the top right hand side of the box was 950804
could this be the production date ....... (on the car door sticker it says 01/95)

Hi Drooby,

is the label with the 0 261 200 413 number brown or grey?

My chip will work in the brown labelled box (no EWS) but not in the grey box. (it has EWS) I am still trying to solve an issue with the EWS chip but when that is done I can ship you a chip. (If you had a way to read your chip and email the file, I can make you an EWS chip now).

If you have the EWS DME, I can take your order later when the chip is ready, and count you as one of the 10 in the group buy.

Let me know wht colour that label is.

Not any longer. (at least not in combination with this discount)
I never had a single person interested in the chip trade-in offer during the 5 or 6 months I ran it.

My 95 525i 1/95 is a ews car. Therefore i will need to wait until you are ready. Just want to lock in a lower price if possible.

Thanks,

What are we up to? I'm kinda eager to get my hands on the chip... I've got my ECU in pieces all over my desk here. :)

Um, I'm in, I think, but do all 10 have to be the same chip?

andyman32
04-21-2004, 06:18 PM
I talked to by email yesterday; it didn't sound like it had to be 10 of the same chip. At first he wasn't even sure he had a chip for my car, but said he could try to program one if he didn't have it.

Is anyone in particular spearheading this group buy? If so, [s]he should tally the participants. It looks like there are a few people on the other boards who wanted in, too, but this deal has been building since April 7 - two weeks ago. I wonder if anyone has already gone off and purchased a chip independently?

It seems like we should have 10 people or very close to it. I pm'd everyone on both boards who were interested so far, so check your pm!

On top of those on the list, I had one order today and one yesterday. So we need only one more. If we don't get one more, I'll still honour the group buy.
At the price quoted, I'll be shipping by regular mail. All of you may want to possibly consider having all the chips sent by Fedex to one location and having them sent by Priority Post from there. Mikemaster, if I can send them by Fedex to your house and you can mail them out, I'll deduct the cost of the priority post envelopes from your order. Let me know if that's OK with you.

Thanks for organising this also.

I've been hanging back, but I'll be # 10.
I have a 1994 540iA that I'm converting to a six-speed. I guess I'll need the chip for the 1995 non-automatic V-8. I already have a JC chip for the automatic. :D

Will you be willing to handle shipping if Mark Fedexes all the chips to you? That would be OK with me. I suppose I'd be willing to do it if Mikemaster doesn't want to.

Also - who will we pay, and when? <waving $150 around frantically>

mikemaster
04-23-2004, 02:41 PM
I emailed Mark and told him I would be willing to ship them all out, as long as he gives me the addresses and labels which chip goes to who (which I'm sure he would.) Just waiting to hear back from him.

Do not buy Mark's chip! I have already installed one in my car and it has made it so much more enjoyable to drive that I will lose bragging rights if everyone else gets one too. Well...I guess that argument is somewhat selfserving???...ah hell..buy the EAT chip. Best money you will spend!

Hi Mike,

I was at the track today (spectator) and so didn't repond to your email yet. (I'm going out agin in 10 minutes) I suppose I'll have to ask everyone if I can give you their address because of the new privacy laws. :)

I haven't actually got any adresses yet. Everyone who is interested should send the funds via PayPal to mdsylva@sympatico.ca and specify which chip you want. I'll send all the address info to Mike.

Thanks

Mark

mark, when is the latest we can pay and when do you expect to ship and for us to recieve. I get payed and friday. I'm low on the cashflow. Finally picked up my 535Im. And have been dealing w/ tax, registration, insurance. So I'm low on funds.

mikemaster
04-26-2004, 02:52 PM
Just got another email from Mark D.

Everyone who said they were in, if you haven't done so already you should:

Send the PayPal payment ($165) to mdsylva@sympatico.ca and specify which chip they would like, by 11:30 pm April 28. (If anyone does not know how to use paypal, pm me.)
Then Mark can Fedex the chips to me on Thursday April 29 so I get them for Friday. (And hopefully have them sent out before the weekend, depending on when they arrive.)

Let's all try to get this buy finalized. Thanks.

Hi Mark.

I'm try and get you the payment tonite on paypal when I get home. I need a chip for my 92 535i manual. Which one do you recommend? Are they all the same except the rev limiter. Any noticeable differences or plus/minus on one versus the other.

I'd go with the 6800 rpm limit in a 5 speed. That is the same limit other companies use also.

That is the only difference.

Hi Mark, Payment sent. Send me the 6800 rev limiter one. I didn't see your post and put 6500 rev one on my payment info.
Thanks.
