I just showed you how RaceChip compares to Stock 35i and Dinan 28i

Wait for Delnari and AlexGT how much of a bullet it will turn their M235 into

I'm installing mine next week I hope (fingers crossed) . I finally got the time to go to the dyno to do a "pre" piggy back check, now I'm just trying to find the enough time to find a good day to install the RaceChip with the friend that is helping me on this.

Have pulled my aFe Scorcher off a few weeks ago. Only taken the car out twice since and I really notice the loss in acceleration and harder hitting shifts. Changing job locations next week that will more than likely be putting me in the car more often (no more motorcycling to work) so this might hurry me along with my purchase of the Racechip. For now, I waiting to have my yearly inspection and oil change early next month and will keep the car free of any electronic aids until that is completed.

Eager to see some M235i results from the Racechip install.

Great chaddy74 !! Make a video when you have the time! Hope the wife's happy

chaddy74 · 02-13-2015, 09:29 PM

Curiosity has got to me now !! I just ordered the Racechip Ultimate for my car also to test out !!

dtcoff · 02-14-2015, 01:16 AM

I may try these on both my M235i and X3 3.0d then.

Guyhim1 · 02-14-2015, 03:14 AM

Just ordered mine! looking forward to try it out ..will be running it with AFE momentum and on 91 (cali) should get it in a few days

Delnari · 02-14-2015, 09:14 AM

I should be ready to order my Racechip for the M235i soon. Waiting to see what the dyno results are for those ahead of me first. Given I'm still in the dead of Winter and no snow tires having a "chipped" computer upgrade installed would not be a good thing. So, you warmer weather people please post your results.

chaddy74 · 02-14-2015, 08:29 PM

We should start a racechip thread for all that are testing !! Who's in ?

zengoski · 02-19-2015, 07:06 PM

Hey guys I have the dinan stage 1 tune on my m235i and I raced a stock q50s awd that weighs 3800 and has 328 hp. From 60-100 i pulled a half car length at the beginning and then he kept up to 100! After that I start pulling more but is there something wrong with my car? I feel like I should walk him. i mean with a car thats supposed to have 364 and 430 and weighs 300 less it should be no contest right?

Yep, something's not right. He shouldn't see where a stock M235 goes, let alone a tuned one.

What should I do? Should I dyno it and see the numbers? Or take it straight to the dealership?

No I actually bought the car with dinan stage 1, Dinan exhaust, and the suspension

well then you won't be able to tell what's the difference between stock and the tune.....

or at least get someone to dyno a stock M235 on the same dyno to have some reference

zengoski · 02-21-2015, 10:10 PM

Anybody raced a q50s yet while on stage 1 or even stock?
