BavAuto Chip VS Eat Chip

[alexander525]

i have been browsing for a performance ECU and i noticed that the vast majority of people on this forum use the EAT chip. personaly i was leaning towards ordering the bavrian autosport one. is their any real difference between the chips. pros and cons exc.. ? any advice would be appreciated.

I had a BavAuto chip on my old E34. Dyno results were good (10rwhp and about 14ft-lbs of torque peak gains) but it pinged like mad. With all the good reviews of the EAT chip I don't know why anyone would buy anything else.

Yup, it was terrible. I took it out it was so bad.

Then I installed a turbo. :)

I ran a BavAuto chip in my car for a 1 1/2 years that the PO had installed, before I ordered an EAT chip and found out the bavauto one was in there! I guess it worked fine, but I can't compare either with stock b/c I've never had a stock chip in there. Biggest improvement from going from BavAuto to EAT was STARTING!! It started somewhat long and lumpy before, now the engine turns over a couple times and goes! Definitely seems to be an improvement for low rpms too. RECOMMEND EAT!

EAT ! Been running one for 3 years and the car runs better than ever with 186k on it.

Is the EAT chip recommended over the Dinan chip?

Also is this recommendation for the M60B40 engine?
