It was me who said that, 3 people told me that same story, but i’m not that tecky enough to know if its the truth or not, now i don’t know (or pretend to know) about BMWs etc, but if the gear box isn’t a BMW one and has different ratios etc, would a BMW chip do the same job as a Land Rover one? the Landy weighs a heck of a lot more than a car, so will (i’m supposing) use different ratios for the gearing? but this is all guess work, but it kida makes sense though don’t you think? i can see where your coming from though, find a scrappy BMW and take the chip out and swap it over, when i had my chip done it took 3 mins to put in, its a very easy job, but it needed an extra piece on it to make it fit (an adapter) it went under the bonnet (nr the battery) in the ECU
This is the BMW that the same engine went in to, (there could be others)
