Clarification - the dials/gauges is pre-set by BMW to shows 330hp max. And the chip is only piggy back, it doesn't have access to the car ECU to change the sport display values.
The ECU reading is not read from the same components as it supposedly is, it is reading from the piggy back unit where it changed the value from the actual reading coming off the sensor. So, the piggy back unit is telling the ECU that the fuel flow is not enough in the fuel rail (which actually is, but the piggy back telling the ECU to deliver more by telling it that it is currently not up to the aimed target value).
It is almost the same as obesity, the stomach is full, but the hormone tells the brain that you are still hungry. Then, what you get, an overweight individual.
Make sense?
