Been looking at possibly getting a 320d and chipping it rather than getting the 330d to save quite a few bucks. I've seen a bunch of the sites say they can get the 163bhp to 200HP and the 177bhp to 220ish. I.e. www.evo-s.co.uk
So the question I've got then is, what exactly is the chipping doing and is it destroying the engine / tranny while using it? I'm guessing it's upping some pressure somewhere, but if it was safe to do wouldn't BMW have done this in the first place? Does the chipping work as well as it seems to in those graphs? I'm not going to be getting a car with warranty so I'm not that worried about it.
Last question, would I have to disclose that I had a chip in the car to an insurance company?
