That is just total hooey! An internal combustion engine is really a fancy air pump. In order to increase horsepower by approximately 30% - you have to move alot more air through the system... larger throttle body, longer valve duration (ie, different cam), less restriction on the exhaust side. Then build up the strenght of the drivetrain - so that parts don't self destruct. That motor is capable of well over 150hp more and many capable shops do super work on Bimmers ( I have owned and loved my 3-series coupes). But chips alone are only marginally effective... one interesting exception seems to be th eease with which engine management changes can extract more HP from the VW/Audi 1.8 litre turbo. I loved my Audi TT when I had it
Best,
Eric
