I've asked tuners about combining their chips and here are their answers:
Hartge: Yes, this is possible.
AC Schnitzer: Unfortunately is it not possible for us to say if these modifications will work together because we test our performance upgrade only with BMW standard engines without any modifications.
RaceChip: You can use the chip in your car.
The RaceChip receives data from the ECU (control box from the car) and optimizes these. The Injection volume, duration of injection and the boost will be changed by the RaceChip.
Thereby you have more performance and torque.
The values given on our website are the calculated maximum values. Not every vehicle reaches this value because it also depends on the tolerance range of the vehicle.
Our chip is mainly active in the acceleration and pulling phase. The work area is about 1500-3500 rpm. Normally, the top speed is the same before.
We supply the chip with a basic setting for your vehicle. With this basic setting, you have a power increase about 20%. This is the best compromise between fuel economy and performance.
We do not avoid any security systems on your car. So when the power is too much, your car will be shut down to the safety mode. Therefore your car is still protected.
Kelleners: We would not recommend combining the BMW Performance power increase with a tuning box like ours without upgrading the whole drive train of the car.
The resulting power and torque output is likely to exceed the electronic and/or physical limits of gearbox, clutch and xDrive system in certain situations. The engine is also likely to have serious temperature issues under heavy load which can cause damage to the engine and exhaust system.
