    another great Mark D review

    Just installed my chip/19# injectors and did a full tune up... Car runs better than it ever has, even the guy that tuned it for me said, "damn, this car has lots more power now, great upgrade" :-)

    Mid throttle is much better now and the car is so much more responsive, amazed me, how much of a difference the small increase in REVS made...

    Thanks Mark, you are the man.

    injectors is your only mod? Can you give me an update on gas mileage, with these changes?

        For the record, I have run various MarkD software versions in the past 3-4 years, and all of them consistently give better gas mileage. I switch back to stock very often to just for the shock value.

          good to hear that, i was getting horriable mileage before the tune up.

            I just saw your post. I'm glad you are happy with your chip. It's a big improvement in a 325i.

              yes it is..
              Slightly worse gas mileage, but what can you expect with larger fuel injectors..Really got to get on it this weekend, sooo much better throttle response...Best $150 mod $$ can buy.

                    well if you figure out where you got it from, let me know. It is like 229 on his site right now, granted that is cheaper than any other chip on the market, I dont have that to spend right now since the wife needs a new ride.

                      I'll chime in...

                      I bought a DME used ith a MarkD chip for my ETA.... Best thing i've done so far for the driveability and throttle response. Feels great, like it woke my car up after 20 years of old woman flogging.
