N55 JB4 Maps 1, 2 or 5?

Just wondering what map some of you are running, what you like about them over other maps and mods you have to run certain maps.

I have only ran map 1 on mine (93 octane) with the following mods in my 2013 535i:
Burger Intake
ER Charge Pipe
Megan Racing Axel back exhaust

Also, I have only been able to find a little info ab map 5 and that its not recommended for the F10, but people were stating that they had good results with it.

For Map 2, would I need to run higher than 93 octane and also have a catless downpipe?

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

I'm running jb4 on map 5 for 2 months now. Very similar to map 2. Try it out.

Any issues with it? What do you like better on map 5 over 2? Any more power or at least perceived power?

Map 2 is suitable for 93 octane

Map 5 made the tranny jumpy. Was not too happy w it during DD. Laying into it, map 5 seemed to wake the car up.

Switched over to map 2, seems to be a better mix of map 1 & 5.
Only been a couple days so well see.
