    195i tune

Also to mention, it has the cold...

    195i tune

    I got a vsiii motor in my vr with the VM prefix but no sign of it being a 195i, I have put in a non original chip in because of vats. Is it worth getting a 195i tune on a normal 5L? Is there meant to be any supporting mods or is it only a tune?

    5L timing and leads

    The real annoying part is it looks to be darting from 9-12 degrees if that makes sense, I set it anyway on 10ish degrees and now it hammers in low end rpm, just hate timing as I'm scared too much advance will murder my motor

I'm tipping no, also timed the motor and forgot to put it in diagnostic mode, it's...
