You can get around 220 hp from chip tuning, and improve handling and grip by installing Michelin Pilot Supersport tyres.

Difficult to say. This product is very new, since the encryption from BMW was rather recently broken from the chip tuning companies. That means the long term effects from the tuning is not yet known.

In this forum, BR Perfomance and Superchips have been recommended.

I think they only have piggyback boxes so far, not new maps in the engine management. They do however take over the warranty, so they are very safe in that regard.

Taking a chance on this old tread.
I have a 114i m-sport.
Upgrades ongoing; now a Milltek exhaust is ordered, and the next step is to send the ECU to ESS for a 218hp / 365nm upgrade.

Now the exhaust I have bought is a cat-back. Do I need to upgrade the downpipe, or is it the same as the 118i`s?

Is the original intercooler sufficient, er should one upgrade it for full utilization of the other upgrades?
