who has chipped their N55 DCT car?

Hey guys,

Most posts here seem to be for cars with the N54 motor.

Anyone have experienced with a chipped N55 DCT car (2012 sDrive35i)?

I'm especially interested in how high your oil temperature went at the track.

The OP is correct. The 35i has the N55 motor while the 35is has the N54 motor.

MY 2011 35i has the N54...

I have the JB4 and the last week i installed 2 (TWO!) downpipes, that's sure...

Never heard that MY 2012 and 2013 35i switched to N55

Thanks guys, I stand corrected.

I went downstairs and took a look at the valve cover and it looks like the N54 (per this thread) http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...06&postcount=2

This is actually great news, thanks guys!
