This high-performance Chip will work on both, manual or automatic transmission 325i and 525i models (E36 chassis) with the 2.5L engine, equipped with the VANOS system (Non-Turbo).
You may install this chip in the DME (engine computer) of some late 1993, most 1994, and early 1995 models. If your car’s DME computer is the “Bosch 0 261 200 413“, then this chip is for you! 🙂
A 28-pin EPROM socket and detailed installation instructions are included in the package. The 28-pin socket is included in case it is needed, but most of the DMEs installed in these car models already have the stock chip installed on a socket. You just need to pull out the stock chip and insert this performance chip. In the case that the chip in your DME is soldered directly to the circuit board, you will need to unsolder and remove the stock chip and solder the socket in its place, but these cases are the fewer.

1994-1995 BMW 325i Performance Chip
This chip was reprogrammed with higher fuel injection duty at specific RPMs and specific acceleration points (load). This custom programming also contains more aggressive ignition timing maps, especially for producing more torque and horsepower. The rev-limiter (redline) was raised from 6400 RPMs to 7000 RPMs. It will allow for even more power at those high engine speeds momentum, without the risk of spinning too high which could cause a dangerous condition for the engine called “valve float”.
If your car is equipped with the EWS security (anti-theft) system, included in the late 1995 models with the same DME or ECU, you can still use this chip, but two simple wiring modifications must be done to deactivate the EWS-II system and enable the starter. For more information on that, including a video, you can check the link below:
EWS DELETION CHIP
Having a “Silver-Label” ECU (DME) instead of a “Red-Label” one? No problem! You will just need to modify three wires:

This chip is the real thing and retails for $300.00 in other stores, so get it here for a fraction of that price while it lasts. We are sure that you will be satisfied with the results obtained as soon as you install this chip!
DETAILS
(1) Fuel and Ignition Tables were remapped and optimized for producing more horsepower and torque.
(2) Rev limiter (Redline) was raised up to 7000 RPMs
(3) Top Speed governor was removed to allow the car to reach its natural maximum speed.
(4) Will get rid of the EWS security system with only two minor modifications to the wiring.
(5) Will ONLY fit the Bosch 0 261 200 413 DME computer.
(6) You must use at least US 91 Octane fuel (R M/2), or Europe RON 95 fuel
(7) Not designed to be used on Turbo, Supercharger, or any other boosted application.

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Is this a real chip or one of those resistors sold in fancy boxes as “chips”?
A. This is a real EPROM chip (memory device). This chip holds the program to be run in the DME computer. We modified the code of such program to accommodate enhancements to the fuel delivery system, ignition management, and some other parts of the functions of the engine that are controlled by the DME engine computer.
Q. Are these chips vehicle or application specific?
A. Yes. They will only work with the Bosch DME model 0 261 200 413.
Q. How can I identify my computer type?
A. To identify your engine computer (DME) type, you must look at the computer’s top cover label. The number should be “0 261 200 413“. If the number is different, then this chip won’t work with your DME computer, unfortunately. For help locating your computer in your car, please refer to the above illustration. It is located below the passenger side (left side) wiper assembly, on the engine bay (under the hood).
Q. I found my computer, but instead of “Bosch”, it has “Siemens” on the label. Will this chip still fit on my computer?
A. Unfortunately, this chip will not fit in Siemens DME type. The program structure in the chip is for the Bosch DME type.
Q. How can I identify if my DME has the EWS security system or not?
A. You may easily identify it because by default, all DMEs without EWS have a maroon-colored label or sticker on their top cover and the ones with the EWS security system, have a silver-colored label.

LOCATION
Shipping is done from our local USA warehouse. It will take anything from 1 to 10 business days (processing time added) for locations in the USA.
Once your order is shipped, we will notify you and provide the details and the tracking number.
You may also receive a text (SMS) message with the same information as an alternative way of ensuring that the sent message reaches you. For this, it is optional but recommended, that you enter a mobile phone number when ordering.
LEAD TIME
Each product has a “lead time” from 1 to several days. This number is listed at the top of each product’s information page.
The lead time or “processing time” is the maximum time in business days that it may take to ship your order. Please note that since this is the maximum number of days, it may, and often does, take fewer days to be shipped. This time is used to process your order, including the time it takes when the product is requested from the warehouse (USA), the time for checking it and programming it if applicable, and some other processing that might be needed. This varies by product and options.
SHIPPING TO THE USA
There is a FREE shipping option (through USPS Priority Mail) for locations in the USA and USA Territories. This covers the USA’s 48 contiguous States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
Delivery time for the offered free shipping option to USA locations will be 3 to 5 business days. On the other hand, the faster (paid) USPS and FedEx options for USA locations will deliver the next business day for FedEx Priority, or 1-3 business days for USPS Express and FedEx Economy.
PO (Post Office box) and APO (Army Post Office box) addresses are accepted but only for the USPS shipping services.
INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS (OUT OF THE USA)
We ship to international locations covered by FedEx and in some selected cases, covered by USPS Express as an alternative of lower cost. Transit times vary with the location. Shipping through FedEx to most locations takes anything from 3 to 10 business days. USPS to selected international locations is less expensive but may take from 6 to 15 business days and is not as secure as FedEx due to the way the package is handled. When any package is shipped through USPS to any international location, once USPS reaches the destination country, the package is then handled by that country.
Import Customs clearance in the destination country may add one or more days to the delivery time when shipping to international locations.
RATES
You can calculate the exact shipping rates available for your location with the provided shipping calculator, shown in your cart when you Add-to-Cart this service.
It is important that the country, city, and postal code (if applicable) are entered to get accurate rates from the shipping calculator. Rate calculations will often be way off the actual rate if the needed information is not entered or is not accurate.
We DO NOT profit from shipping. Any rate shown by the provided calculator is passed to you directly from USPS and FedEx through our connection with both companies.
