I usually run the Group Buys with a discount that varies with the number of sales and in the past it's been anywhere from 10 to 15% off.
Last November I ran a sale for the American Thanksgiving where I the discount level was greater, but then I had around 50 sales.

Most chips on my site are $229 USD. The current exchange rate is:

229.00 USD=297.588 CAD
United States Dollars Canada Dollars
1 USD = 1.29951 CAD 1 CAD = 0.769521 USD


What do you think if I offer the chip to you at $245 CAN, which is roughly 18% off. They will be shipped by XPRESSPOST, which now costs $13 to BC but will be included in the $245 price.

Almost all the BMW OEM EPROMs have those other numbers, I think they are just for quality control, probably the ID number of whoever programmed them.

Again, does this group buy include the 17# or 19# injectors?
or is it just for the chip?

Yes, the 93 octane version has a more torque and it's quite noticeable, both at part and full throttle.

The price is only for the chip.

Honestly, you don't really need bigger injectors with an M20B25.
I'd only suggest upgrading if your injectors needed replacement. I increased the duty cycle to the injectors slightly to inject more fuel, they are not as maxed out as some people would suggest.

So what happens if you just can't find 93 octane gas where you reside, and you end up using 91 every time?
How will it perform?

Thanks Mark, I was really wondering about those little numbers.

I have another question. I sometimes go down to Portland for track day at PIR and its very hard to find 93 or 94 octane down there. I'm thinking of using NOS Octane Booster Street Formula fuel additive just on those occasions, added to a tank of 92 octane. Do you have any info on the effectiveness of this specific product?

Thats a great deal. I would be surprised if we can muster 50+ sales off this board. How many sales are required to achieve this price?

I was thinking 5 sales, as I know there are less people on this board, plus I'm trying to give the Canadians a better break.

Excuse me for sounding like an idiot but how do i get access to this chip in the car? where exactly is it located in a 91 318IC???? and more importantly would this work for me?

Like you, I was ignorant of how to get at the chip until three days ago when I opened mine up. I found some instructions on a couple of sites after googling. One site is at Pelican Parts where they have some tech notes. There are several other sites with photos.

I can tell you that it is dead easy once you know how. Took me about 30 minutes to pull the ECU out and remove its cover to find the chip. Reassembly just as easy. Definitely a DIY project if you are handy. Otherwise, get together with someone who has done it.

The chip is inside the ECU box, which is bolted to the dashboard just above the glove box.

If you could get, say 10 sales, would the price be lower?

[Mike30e]

Mark, I sent you a pm on anotheR forum before I saw this thread, hope you have a minute to respond, but I am definitely interested in getting the chip for my eta engine...

[RadioRon]

Mark is offering a generous discount for only 5 units. I've seen some previous group buys on other boards that had more people and with lesser discounts. So I say its time to pull the trigger.

[theox69]

Alright, I was just curious -- not complaining..
I know how much these go for!
When can we start signing up for the GB?
