you can install a chip yourself, I watched the guy i bought mine off do it at his house - he said it was easy. just let the car idle afterwards for half an hour for the obc to learn the new code, then take it on a run for 50 miles at under 3k revs.
But saying that, I'd have someone who knows what they are doing deal with it - in case owt goes wrong..

I looked under an E36 318is 1.8. They state that if you use 91 octane fuel, you would have 153hp, and with 93 octane, 155hp wiht 138lb torque.

390 bucks... is this legit?

These guys are very reputable here on the gold coast, they have lots of information regarding the chip for the 1.9 318ti

my friend knows someone who works there and he is currently over in the states setting up a shop over there i believe.

my price says $990 australian for the 1.9 318ti is $390 converted to US dollars.
for the 318ti i think the ysay you must use 98 RON fuel.

like i said i don't know too much about these sorts of things, but my friend is getting one for his car, and like i said these guys are very reputable often featuring in performance mags here in australia i believe.

my friend is contacting the person who works for the company who is currently in the states.

when i get my car back from being repaired i plan on getting this chip.

I would like to hear what some of you guys on the forum think.

i just found this rather interesting and sort of exciting since the lack of options for chips for our car.

hmmm seems if you choose the usa site you can't get the 318ti 1.9 chip.

i think the chip is specially designed for the type of fuel we get here in australia. as it says you need ultimate or optimax which is 98 octane,
