are there any cheaper chips?

ECU enhancement is not something to be cheap about.

As of now, the Xede is the only option btw.

I'm still a little unclear. Will the XEDE mod void your warranty? My 335i is on a lease, and I need the mods to be able to sneak under the radar. thanks.

i wouldnt say untraceable since i believe even the newest one requires some manipulation of hoses, if they went looking they would find it

the new one shiv is working on is even more untedectable to the human eye.

Modifying your car doesn't automatically 'void' your warranty. That's just an overstated misconception. Dealers will state that it does; however, most are uninformed about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975... or they hoping you don't know about it.

I have personal experience in this arena. I put an aftermarket stereo in a car and within my warranty period, the HVAC controls died. The dealer stated since I modified the stereo, it voided my warranty and they would not replace ANY electrical component. A call from my attorney to the dealer manager and the HVAC controls were replaced. I had to do this again with a coil pack. Then they tried to state a hole in the intake manifold was not covered because of aftermarket exhaust. Again, they replaced it after a letter from an attorney. Don't let dealers con you into think you have screwed up your warranty

It applies to any part of the warranty. It has to be proven that the modification resulted in the failure for the warranty repair to be denied.

I wish this thread would disappear!! Every time I see it I'm reminded that my XEDE still isn't here.

I hate I the missing 50hp & 75ft-lbs!
