BMW 335I...crazy aftermarket mod (better bang for the buck than our PI TC!)
BMW 335I...crazy aftermarket mod (better bang for the buck than our PI TC!)
I just got my latest edition of Road & Track yesterday. The new BMW 335I has an aftermarket mod called the PROcede ECU piggyback and Vishnu exhaust package. It keeps all warranty in tact from BMW and adds over 70whp! The price...$2650 including the exhaust!!! Unbelievable, I'm sure this setup will help the 335I give the new 2008 BMW M3 a run for the $$$. Oh, BMW said the modded 335I will be capable of 12.8/12.9 in the 1/4 mile and a 4.5 sec 0-60...WOW!
chipping a turbo car (raises boost) yields big power? This is a world first! This is nothing new, you can do the same thing in any STi/Evo or any turbocharged car for that matter. Too bad engine life decreases as a result of increasing the power
and I doubt you keep the warranty intact, for instance if you leave hte pigback on when they start inspecting your engine/ECU because of a warranty problem thats a red flag that you did some mod. Yea the warranty is intact when you remove the piggyback to take it to the dealer

Sorry, I put this in the wrong discussion area...any1 have a gun to blow my head off???
I should have put it in the General Discussion area...my bad.
Anywho...I just thought I might throw this out there to show others who don't realize that the car industry seems to be taking a more drastic turn towards high power #'s than ever before. I mean c'mon we have new Honda Accords pulling 270HP...and Maximas even higher. 300HP was a great deal of power and usually put you ahead of a lot of cars not so anymore.
Also, my friend that lives across the street from me is getting the new 335I and they OFFER the PROcede ECU and exhaust package THROUGH THE DEALER and the warranty is STILL in effect after installation.
I always known that chipping and such is a great mod but usually for gasoline engines FI or NA it wouldn't yield ~90HP (crank) on this alone! I would expect results like this from turbo diesels but not gasoline engines. This is why I thought this was impressive. Not to mention that the cost is only around $2600 for this massive boost in power. Dashocker (Sean) must be loving his Bimmer right now...lol

Someone already dyno'd it with the chip & exhaust...They pulled 340 at the wheel. That's about right, the 335i has been said to lay down about 270 at the wheel in stock form.

That guy Shiv Pathak I think is the owner of the Vishnu company. He was mentioned in the Road & Track article. So 340whp would probably equate to around 390hp @ the crank...maybe? Not bad...I wish someone would come out with a nasty chip/ECU for the 2nd gen GS...
