Superchip - Any opinions?

[gwatson]

I thinking of having my car chipped to remove flat spots and increase power slightly. Oh it's a 2003 BMW Z4 3.0.

Superchip is the only company I can consider although I realise that others may be better. I need someone local in the Aberdeen area, can't justify driving down south just for a chip.

Does anyone have experiance of fitting the chip emap espcially to a 3.0 engine. Especially looking for driving differences, fuel consumption and of course insurance increases

Any problems passing emmission testsat MOT time after a remap?

No point in remap/Schip. Supercharger is the only way. ASA Sk Plus from www.ca-at.co.uk

Yeah I know, that is the long term solution - ess supercharger. The problem is it's 10x more expensive and that's without fitting an intercooler I am just looking for a short term helping hand until I can get £3000 together and justify it

the only chip i ever did on a petrol car was a 911, it was supposed to give me 20+bhp plus a sharper throttle response, i have to be honest i couldn't feel a damn thing for my £300, maybe someone has a better experience with bmw's.

Spoke to Mike at DMS who was very helpful. Their remap sounds very good, upto 24bhp more and the same in torque. Problem is £595 + VAT Will maybe need to save up first, but it is my preferred solution over a superchip. Taking the car to around 255bhp would be perfect.

The do work at the Porsche garage in Aberdeen every second week, so no problem with logistics

Not good experience with Superchip, DMS come much more highly reccomended from me.

i spoke to a guy at emap last week, seemed to really know his stuff and good prices, i have chipped over ten cars in the past and i think emap are going to be the guys to do my diesel. i can get you the number if reqd. he had just spet a day fine tuning a csl.
