Thinking of more power for 335i

As per the title I'm thinking of chipping the 335i a little to get a bit more oomph. I have seen good things about the procede and SSTT and I have access to gear in the US but I am a bit concerned as to what fuel these maps are for as I am in the UK where normal petrol (gas) is 95 ron and Super is 97 or 99 ron. Any advice on this??

Thanks

Finnie

the tuners can set you up with a different map for the higher octane. Probably give you something similar to what we would consider race gas here (100 octane)

You are perfectly fine.
The great thing about these tunes is that you will gain more hp automaticaly if you put higher fuel in.
Yes, it adjusts itself.

There are plenty of people here all over the world that have the procede and AA tune, etc that love it.
I believe that Eugen (e.n335) is in switzerland and he uses the same fuel as you.

Hey OP,
I'm just curious...I know that the gas is sold by the liter, but how much per gallon right now?
You have gotta have some serious cash to drive what you drive.

I went to scottland (fuel was $7 a gallon), and I swear that I saw a total of 2 pick up trucks and they were both diesel.

Mr.5

Fuel prices over here (UK) are crazy:

Petrol £1.10Ltr = £5.05 gallon = $9.88 (1 gallon = 4.55 litres)

Diesel £1.20 ltr = £5.46 gallon = $10.98

I will take Paypal donations, if you look here:




Did you notice the imaginary begging bowl?
I can't see it either, did you put your dollars in it?
