    Some serious gains to be had on a remapped 330e. What kind of power figures does a Race Chip give?

    There is a few good 330e owner groups on Facebook. Have a look there for the same question and you'll get answers

    Not a bmw but on an audi.

    Im on my 2nd racechip, .

    120hp diesel up to 145hp.

    9 years on the previous car. 180k miles put on it, no issues with it, no engine issues.

    A good bit more economical too.

    Without it best car was getting 5.6l per 100km.

    With it , ive seen it drop to 4.3l per 100km..

    Well worth getting.

    The original one was a race chip one. Current one is a racechip gts.

    Tbh i havent done made any changes on it. They are meant to be preset up. As long as the car is running correctly,idling smoothly with no smoke im happy enough.

    TThe Efficiency comes from driving it handy. As i say driving it before 5.6l per 100km after it can drop to 4.3lper100km.

    80/90 k driving gets that handy.

    Motorway 120 gets 4.7/4.8.
