    Default Just Order EAT Chip '91 525i.

    Bought my wifey a '91 525i for her birthday last year.... she has loved drivig it for the past year... Well... now it's my turn.

    Just traded my 2000 Maxima in on a new Tahoe. Since I commute and she doesn't work, she gets to drive the big boy and I get the bimmer.

    I am so stoked I can't wait until the chip gets here.

    Mark, I hope it is as good as the reviews...

    Hi Jeff,
    I think it's as good as the reviews but very few people have the DME you have, I think most here have the M30 motor. But yes the chip you ordered also works well.

    I was wondering why I've had quite a few sales from Louisiana recently. Maybe it's one of the places that is warm? (or else Winfred is telling people about it) It's 4C here now, that's high 30's F.

    What the h$!! are you doing... you should be filling my order!

    Just kidding. It is about 80 here today and not a cloud in the sky. Has been this way for a week now. The pollen is horrible but worth it. Wishing I was out driving with the sunroof open or out trying to kill a little white ball.

    I will let you know the results.

    I've had the Ozzie version in my 535iA for 2 weeks and still can't keep my leadfoot off the accelerator.

    Is the performance really that noticeable? I would really like a "little" more power in my 525 but don't want to hurt that gas mileage for general driving since it is approaching $2 a gallon!

    You should expect a significant improvement in fuel economy along with better performance. What year/model do you have?

    Default I put an EAT chip in my 1991 525i a year or so ago

    The gas mileage was actually improved with the chip. It went from around 26 mpg to 28 mpg driving at 75 mph on the highway. The improvement in performance is certainly noticeable. My wife also has a 1991 525i that is unchipped. Her car has significantly less miles and the engine is in better condition. My EAT chipped car is quicker and smoother off of the line and it especially has more power in the upper rpm ranges. I didn't tell her about the chip, when I got it, and she noticed something different about how the car ran the first time she drove it. She asked me if I got it tuned up or something. I also had a significant improvement in a somewhat uneven idle.

    Dick,
    you ordered the chip on March 27 2002 (not really a year or so ago)
    I guess time flies when your having fun.

    I wonder why your wife didn't buy a chip after noticing how well your works. The savings in fuel would have paid it off and by now she would actually be making money!
