Well guys I finally bit the bullet and got the car modded. Downunder we do not have quite as many options as the rest of the world, however this is what I went for:
Xede/Chip Torque System which is the Xede processor.
I have seen a lot of Dyno results around and I am not sure how many are real and under what conditions, so I have attached the Dyno sheet showing before (Red) and after (Blue). The figures are for my car, the figures seemed a little low to me for the stock measurement, however I have since found that this dyno reads about 10kw lower than most (No ideas why), I will leave that to those in the know.
The long and the short of it is:
Stock kW: 189kw
After mod: 223.7kw
Stock Torque: 320nm
After Mod: 413.1nm
I had the valet swicth fitted so I can switch it back to stock when it goes into BMW, however the difference on the road is nothing short of awesome.
From about 30km an hour in a straight line I bury the foot and it looses traction easily. The grunt is just beautiful and really hurls you back in your seat.:buttrock
I have been told that an exhaust should grab an extra 15 - 20kw from the system, however I do not want the car to be any louder.
So guys here is my results, I am going to post some 0 - 100km videos soon with the switch on and off so we can see the real world difference whilst driving.
Cheers,
Gibbo
