Is it worth getting the jb4 stage 2 for my 535i???

JY3232 · 03-11-2014, 09:41 PM

I have a 2012 535i and i have came across a guy that is trying to sell me his tune. Now I don't know really about the tune, so I want to hear some pros and cons about this. Thanks guys!!!

Also I know there is 2 types of harnesses, how would I know which one would fit mine?

pros: your car is more powerful
cons: ...

as far as harness goes, you need to check it out for yourself by reading some instructions.

cons: BMW warranty would probably not support any damage caused by this product, if they could prove such was the case

thank you, and how much do you think is a fair price for a used one?

FWIW, I bought one used from someone else on the forum for $330, which I thought was a good deal.

How long is install on such a device??

well I didn't really know my way around my car very well beforehand so it took me a couple hours or more to get it all done. For example, it took me over 20 minutes just to figure out where the battery was to disconnect. Then I was re-reading the instructions several times, going back online to hunt for answers if anything was unclear, etc...

For someone who knows what they are doing it only takes a few minutes.
