        Maybe by the time we do this I'll have all my chip and tuning gear........not that I could tune in between pulls without having to pay a lot more i'm sure...

        i'm into extreme DIY, I've tuned other obd1 chips before, I'm learning the obd1 413 structure, hopefully I'll have time before the day to build one custom tune with my gear and wideband o2.....

            On their site it says self tune is 120 an hour, billed every 15 minutes after that. No idea if there is a discount if we do the group thing but I will make sure to ask.

              David, I drove the car before without issue I believe.

              PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

                  Info update!!!

                  First off, these guys sound pretty cool over the phone. They usually only do group discounts for 10+ cars which we might be able to get from here. I might expand to union1609/bimmerforums if I need to.

                  -Discount runs about $60 for their baseline run (3 pulls) which is $15 off
                  -AFR is included with every run free of charge. YAY
                  -Tuning is allowed. They usually put that person at the end. They can knock off $20 or so an hour.
                  -They like to have a 2-3 week notice
                  -They WILL do a saturday

                  Now to do it we NEED more then 10 people that WILL run and pay $60. That is a pretty good price for a good dyno (dynojet), good shop, and afr included. Some shops charge extra for the O2 logging.

                  PM me if you are in for sure. We will wait till everyone is ready (Sorry not you Eric, lol).

                  We have two so far. My E30 and E36, unless the Ti is torn apart at that time.

                  We will do it on a Saturday morning if that works for everyone. We can get lunch after/photoshoot if we want.

                    I am definitely in pending final date selection. I have another friend with a 540i (auto) who I'll ask too.

                      But was that after I adjusted and moved the seat a few inches?

                        Am I the only one that thought Ben could drive the manwagon and David the M? It seems too easy.

                            Would love to put the S52 e30 on the dyno, but it's parked until spring time. I could do the wagon, but I don't need a dyno to re-confirm it needs another 100hp.

                              Friend with 540 is in. I think we should do Feb 5. Plenty of notice and time to get a good group...And I should have some chips done then... :)
