Send me a PM or have a look through my website (PolarPerformance) and I'll talk you through the various options.

The Chip you have linked to is not one of mine, but I have been known to advertise on Ebay

You may want to find some others that have used the above chip before you bid. I know there are people on here that have bought one.

i got one from ebay it was from scott (polar performance)for my94 uk model and it has made a huge difference to the car its alot smoother and really goes well.
i had a z4 in it before which was a big improvment on stock but nothing compared to performance of the car now since fitting the chip.
dont know anything about the chip you are looking at on ebay but i can reccomend the one in mine from scott...

G7 sounds like a Legacy ECU. The live mapping adaptor currently doesn't support the Legacy, due to it having different 'Running & Diagnostic' Code.
