if your not a car freak like some of us it won't make sense...
I love the extra hp, torque and gas savings... some people don't i am not forcing people to buy this product i don't get anything for it ... i am just showing an installation for the product that might help someone that is trying to install it...
Right but what did you give up to get the extra hp torque and gas savings, perhaps by increasing the emissions? You can't get something for nothing. Consider a K&N filter, you will get a little performance gain but you will shorten your engine life.
BMW has been producing the same engines for 20 years...their 4.4 liter engine has been in production for 15+ years ... every single year they modify the engine to perform better... they keep adding more HP and Torque to the same engine over and over again... the manufacturers purposeful De-Tune their engines so they get 15+ years from the exact engine ... Do you know anything about cars?
KN filter WILL no way shorten your engine life...that is a complete false statement.
In fact changing your air filter (which i assume you are referring too) more frequently only prolongs your engine life.
10 years ago we were suppose to change the engine oil every 3 thousand miles... now since most vehicles come from the manufacturer with a maintenance contract for 2-4 years for free they have extended the engine oil change to 8-12 thousand miles... same exact engines ... the 4.4 liter from the 90's that you were suppose to change the oil every 3 months or 3 thousand miles is being changed every 10K miles plus has about 250 more HP.
You also don't increase your emissions because emissions are controlled by the catalytic converters in your vehicle...
Added more air to the engine makes the engine burn gas more efficient thus reducing emissions and burning more clean.
What about the charges?
The price of the race chip varies per model and vehicle.
They have 3 models but not all of them are available for all of the vehicles.
The G63 I have the GTS Black version which was 799 (USD) + 50 for the blue tooth app.
The BMW X1 Race Chip sets you back 599
If you plan on keeping the vehicle for a long period of time 2-5+ years its an awesome investment. :)
Cheers!
sweet, but why?
what you mean but why?
why the race chip? adds power.
at what cost?
the price for the additional gains and 20% better fuel economy is worth it... I installed it on my G wagon you can see the review here...

When they let more air in they let more dirt in, not to mention the oil on the filter getting sucked into your engine.
What about charges
