What's the best chip for an 840?

  • Zitat von Anonymous

    And the build date of the car is?


    Really does make a considerable difference in the answer.


    10/1993....from what I've found out according to the VIN thread that my car is an 840i. What's the difference between an "i" and "Ci?" Nobody has confirmed my model for sure....on my door jam, it says "Ci" And many according to many sources, that there were no "i's" shipped to the U.S. I am so confused.


    Thanks,

  • It is a Ci don't worry.


    Chips are available from Dinan (Wussy and overpriced in my opinion)
    Conforti-Pricey but good and only available till mid '95 build.


    My chip is a European tuners variant that makes Dinan feel real weak.
    I don't know how it compares to Conforti but I would guess it was real close. A lot cheaper too!! Email me at tyohnka@comcast.net -I have a spare.

    It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others. Mine sometimes feels that way.

  • so does any one know what a good chip for the 840ci 1996 would be? i don't know if the bios or eprom may be a variant of the one you guys are using :!:

  • Hi
    Your chip is different than the early versions.


    Email the seller of this auction and ask him what he can get for you.


    They may ask you to test something for them. I have found him to be straightforward an honest with me.


    Post the results of your communications please. There are several others here and on other boards who would be interested.
