I may want to get one of these just for comparison...
That is a pretty common issue with off the shelf performance tunes and california 91 octane gas. If you know the production date of your car I can make a pretty safe guess on which DME you have for the 95MY.

Turner and Dinan chips really need a better gas than 91 octane Cali gas. Can easily be adjusted for though if not using one of the 10+yo standard tunes.

It is very rare for any BMW equipt with knock sensors to ever hear any kind of pinging unless there is some major fuel delivery problems... The BOSCH adaptive knock control is extremely sensitive and a very very good system
