Evening,

Has anyone here tried doing their own chip-tuning?

Having bought a tuned 535d i'm amazed at what can be done. It set me thinking that it would be fun to try doing something similar on cars across the family, where there are quite a few diesels (~5, 2005-2015, value all <10K).

I don't really fancy paying £££ a pop to visit a "garage" where they simply flash something they downloaded if i could buy something to do it myself. It would also be quite satisfying: i used to play at tuning Webers on my TR.

My initial reading is that KES clones are cheap and sell in large numbers, but cannot actually work. I then got a bit lost in the world of alternatives: is there one? Happy to spend up to £500, as much less as possible, but preferably not to become someone's slave......
