Aye, when I had the M3 Chipped the acceleration was alot more torque'y low down coming straight in at about 2700 rpm, it was great. Not to mention the 155mph limiter it removed!!

A chip to bore out your engine to 2.2 that would be impressive!!! I take it you mean the performance of a 2.2 A chip wont make an amazing difference but is probably the cheapest way to get a few extra horses and make it much perkier to drive |

Where about in Falkirk you at? I live up the High Station way. Maybe see you around Falkirk, and at one of the meets soon. Welcome mate, and I am sure that someone one here will be able to help you with ANY problems you have with your E36. Hopefully none right enough but you never know! |

Nope, hasn't been anywhere near the rollers yet. I meant to do before/after runs with the exhaust and induction kit but didn't get round to it before I fitted them. Hopefully I'll be getting a remap soonish and will be able to check the power then. She's definitely quicker and is a lot more responsive to the throttle so I'm guessing there's been an increase over the standard bhp with the two of them on. Probably not much but every little helps Stuart. |

Stuart - your car looked way impressive in me rearview as we were going from Newhouse down to Davy's
 Took a swatch at it at BM Motors - what exhaust are you running?

Hi Graham and welcome to the club and forum, nice looking car you have mate Thanks to everyone that organised the meet, was a cracking day out. Was great to watch Davy doing his thing on our cars and always good to learn more about them. Glad to hear you got home without any problems Nero, hope you get it all sorted ok. Stuart. |

Pete the model is an E36..has only the 1.9in her but just shorty is being booked in to be chipped and have been told with the correct tuning this should take it to roughly 2.2...that is if this is true, as i dont want to spend money where its not needed!! i feel the car is quick enough but just want that bit extra edge..have looked for an M3 but found most are run into the ground!!so ill make do with this one and just cruise behind all you guys and try to sit in your slipstreams and save on fuel..ill be uploading pics hopefully tomorrow after work but hope you guys can tell me how to as im still green with this pc..going to bed now up at 330am for that dreaded thing called work!!! the things one must do so one can eat and feed a family.haha..take care all who replied to me.. |
