You can, but those chips are aftermarket. There is a BMW Performance Power Kit for the N55 in the E8x and E9x, but I haven't seen any word of their availability for the F30 yet. It adds 20hp and 17-35 lb/ft of torque, but doesn't change the speed limiter if you already have the Sports Package. Aftermarket tunes for the N55 offer a good bit more power but come with the warranty risk of being an aftermarket tune. Dinan offers dealer installed and Dinan warrantied tunes, and will probably be quick to offer an F30 tune for both the N55 and N20.
