Morego BMW Remap - 2.5ltr

[markizok]

I have a 2.5se Z4 and would like ot get a bit more poke from it.

I have heard of "Star Chips (morego)" and they are local and they can increase it by c. 12bhp plus 4bhp with a new air filter - has anyone had this done and has it made any difference, or would i just be better of saving an extra £3k and trading uo for a 3ltr next summer?

Cheers
Mark

If you want it done I can get you a discount at E-maps, and they will come to you.

find one who will chip it and let you try

imho there isnt much obvious benefit on non turbo cars, had a 328i chipped a few yrs back and couldnt tell any difference

Cheers for the responses guys - i will take a look at emap and will let you know!

So i guess getting a turbo is out of the question?

Have you thought about supercharging? Costs around £4.5K I believe.

[markizok]

Tad expensive for me - would however be fantastic im sure!

My 3.0 Z4 is supercharged and I can assure you it's worth every penny, M3 beater without any questions. For a while I messed around with exhausts etc which for a Milltek cost £1000 for 4.5bhp, so for £ hp supercharging is def the best option, or of course trade it in for a 3.0.

Like others have said, you get very small increase, maybe 10bhp, not sure you'd even notice.

I have the 2.5 litre e46 coupe and it runs 202hp and 195.5lb ft of torque on a superchip, pre superchip it was 200.3hp and 184lb ft of torque. Is it worth it? Just about, you can feel the extra torque lower down.

2Bhp gain? - easier to lay of the pies for a while. 10ft-lb of torque is buttons too.
