Have only tried EAT, but was entirely pleased with its performance.
What motor do you have? What do you mean by best? (i.e. all-out performance? bang-for-back?, etc...?)

Just which chip is the best?

I have a 1992 525i E34 with the M50 motor. I have ordered the AC Schnitzer chip for ECU's ending with 402. Has anyone had any experience with this configuration?Originally Posted by DueyT
I understand that M50's gain a pretty good boost from an EAT chip. Most EAT kudos seem to come from M30 owners, and my M60 has much more low-mid level power and a top end that doesn't seem to stop (plus I love the sound of a high-revving, 300+hp V8)

never met anyone who tried an ACS chip. I have an EAT, and the low and midrange performance is MUCH better.

Do you have a connection with him? The web site says to email first if you have a 540/530 before you order a chip. I've emailed twice and got back nothing. I'm not tossing $200 into the hopper until I get a response. It sounds like the M60 chip is not totally complete?
I've gone from Stock to Dinan, to Conforti to EAT on my 94 540i. The EAT chip gives you the best performance for the buck throughout the entire rpm range.
You notice the difference immediately. Mileage gets better too! Mark's M60 programming is right on the money.

Sweet, I understand that there may have been an issue with some 530iA's in the very early development of the M60B30 chip (interaction with the tranny chip) once Mark had finished the 540's, but I believe that has all been worked out. As far as I know, there have never been any problems with either auto or 6-speed 540's. I ran one of Mark's Beta 540i/6 chips (in fact it's still the one I run) and am totally pleased with it!!!Originally Posted by Sweetwater
I think you would be too, but I will ask him. I'll check with him to see what the situation is on the 530i chips. While I do that, if you were to record the DME number of the controller box, that might help determine if there are any issues with your car.
Cheers,

I dont think the 530 chips were ever corrected. Might want to look into other chips for the 530 such as the JC conforti chip. Works OK for me.
