Please share your experience of ECU

Hi All,

I am interesting to have ECU chip on to gain some more power. One of my main concern is the modification will void the warranty.
So I am here to ask your experience of this type of upgrade. Please give me some idea for this decision.

If dont mind, please share which brand of ECU you are using, how long have you installed, and how you feel the upgrade,

Many thanks.

Not too sure about the tunes for the 520i engine. But if I were you I'd want a tune too, all that weight with only 181hp/199tq has got to be challenging.

Yes, the car feels a bit heavy, it is good enough for daily use, but not like driving a BMW
