Chip Mods 128i
I currently sit with a 2009 128i. Im looking for a chip that would increase my HP/Torque by a substantial amount. Any ideas on some legit and trustworthy chips?
Help appreciated! Im new to chipping on BMW's. |

Only tunes that are out there are the active autowerk or oe tuning(gitani). I would personally go with the AA tune, as I believe it is cheaper and they both have similar gains.

Its not a substantial amount, but BurgerMotorsports has a plug n play tune that gives 10hp/10tq.

The PowerBox is the best bang for your buck, I'd suggest the Active Autowerke ECU Tune if you want a custom setup that can be tuned for other mods such as an intake or exhaust.

I am not sure what you mean by "substantial" amount, but you are not going to see the kind of improvement the turbo 135s are getting from their software upgrades. Maybe chip, intake and exhaust together might get you 20hp or so but that's some serious money.
