Update the table in Post #1 to include additional chips, and snapshot of BMW's M Performance Power Kit for 25d/30d/35d.

Many thanks to MattBianco for this great thread. I think this is probably a stupid question but here goes! For 30d/35d owners the M Performance Power Kit includes a "more powerful charge air cooler" which seems to be the only piece of hardware. I was wondering if anyone knows if this air cooler is really needed, or just there to make people feel better about paying so much for such a modest power improvement? Is it standard on the 40d and 50d models? Thanks in advance for any comments.

What I can tell you is that nearly all of the manufacturers listed also offer a gas-engine chip. You might want to look the ones that intrigue you the most on the diesel spreadsheet, and then check the makers equivalent gas engine chip. I wish I had the time to cover 35i and 50i, but I cannot. |

to clarify, as perhaps i'm slow. But which piggy backs/tuners are available for the US market 35d? I'm struggling to confirm. Everything I can find is EU, AUS, etc.

The other one is JBD, which is not as popular. I do have the RaceChip Ultimate in stock ready to ship and not stocking the JBD anymore due to its low on demand.

How much for the Racechip? Is it plug & play? And does it leave any software artifacts that BMW might find?

I just noticed that Racechip now also has a Racechip connect version that has bluetooth connection to allow you to change settings on the fly. This seems convenient, although the downside is you can't fine tune the settings like you could with the other versions. I'm fine with that, as long as the settings are well tested. Their version is almost twice the price of the similarly functioned Dinan unit. Although the Racechip has slightly higher performance gain. I haven't seen the Dinan unit in person, but the Racechip is a well built unit. Not sure how durable the Dinan unit is. |

But I only sell the RaceChip Ultimate. Supposedly you can reflash it and get the proper cable if you change to another vehicle that RaceChip support.

Great list!
it seems to me that the racechip ultimate is still the way to go. The maxchip is impressive as well, but I would be more comfortable with the tried and true. |
