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

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!!
