Just be careful to not break your particle filter .. that is expensive. Watch out for black smoke behind your car.

Interesting stuff..... My only concern is it traceable if there's a problem with the engine and BMW hooks up the ECU to their computer.... Something like, 'external device detected' or something....

First of all I will say Hi, and great forum.
I used this forum to get the picture of the Abreib chip and where to fit it, as it did not have instructions.
Thanks to to member who posted the pic.
I have to say WOW what a piece of kit for ?55. Car is much quicker and smoother, but its the pic-up, really does give you a punch in the back.....and no smoke.
I have had many cars and have performed many mod's but this takes first prize. To get this much difference from my Porsche cost me a bomb.
Very Very impresed i will report back if its better on juice, but for now im off out for another drive.

I do fancy buying one to try before I remap mine. The only problem for me is by the time you see it smoking it will be too late you PF will be goosed

hi there, as long as this thing is connected on a rail-pressure sensor, all it does:
it raises the fuel pressure so the engine is getting more diesel (once you open that box you see a bunch of electronics on a little custom-made "abrieb.de" circuit-actually there are visible 2 routes for different engines?... it raises pressure according to some internaly set rules saved in that chip) and hence more power is produced... good part is that all safety features are still preserved (exhaust temps sensors and lambdas are still keeping eye on engine, the same with PDF-Partikel Filter and its self cleaning cycles)... downside is, that it can cause troubles with automatic or even manual gearbox at low rmp and hi torque figures produced (rattle while it fights with such high numbers not designed for)...
well, still a real bargain for that money :-) and far better than a simple resistor too...

I have just bought one. I fully intend remapping my car but I thought i would buy it for a bit of fun just to see how it performs. I will do some back to back tests tomorrow or the next day and report back

Ok. fitted it today.
Starts and runs as normal. No issues at all. In the town you would never know it was fitted. Once you give it some welly you deffo know it is there. Feels much quicker and the torque is deffo up. No smoke but I did not expect any. Just need to keep an eye on the DPF life now
I have tested my last few cars on a stretch of road below are my findings.
Test is. Start 50mph floor it up a steep hill then onto the flat where the tar changes so you feel a big bump. Not very scientific I know but I do it several times and take the average
E39 530d Remapped just under 100mph 240bhp
E39 M5 Remapped 118mph 420bhp
E60 535d Standard 110mph 272bhp
E60 535d with Abried 116mph 300bhp ?????
For the money you can't knock that figures
