Question
Hello,

I'm driving a BMW 320i Cabrio (1989). It drives very smooth but I would like to add some extra torque or so.
I keep finding information about a 325i Performance Chip (DINAN), but nothing for a 320i.

Do you have any idea if such thing exists and if so, what's the gain?

Kind regards,
Niels R.

Answer
Neils,

 We did not recieve the 320i in the United States, only the 325(i/e) and the 318i.  Dinan makes chips for US cars, so that's probably why there isn't one available for the 320i.  I would check with Alpina, or Hartge (both European companies) and see if they can help you.

 I dont think a Chip is going to do a whole lot, it might add a little Horsepower, but probably not much torque.  

 Good luck,
 Josh

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
