One thing I have noticed is that from a standing start it doesn't feel as quick - mind you I may have just got used to the power of the 335d now. I have noticed that the gearbox shifts up sooner with the racechip or at least it seems to.
Pull is crazy even in comfort mode - it's definitely transformed the car but in some areas it doesn't feel as good as stock.
Going to stick it out for a bit longer and see  |
My experience with RaceChip was that the company has fantastic marketing, making you want to believe that the product actually does something to the car. I would rev the car up to 4000rpm in a low gear, take my foot of the pedal, then go full throttle, and then, as the (stock!) turbo kicked in, I would talk myself into believing that the car was faster.
The sad reality that I eventually had to face, was that, despite the hype, the product does nothing. This became very apparent when I tried the BMS Stage 1 and JB4.
