Looking for best tune for 535I

AW535I · 06-22-2015, 07:15 PM

Just sold my 08 335XI loved the speed the JB+ gave me. I know the 11 535I is a bigger car, so I am looking for a simple piggy back that will give me similar results as the JB+ Any one out their have any ideas or good input? Thanks

I dont want to come off as a dick, but the first two pages in this forum have multiple reviews of devices and tunes for the 535.

Oh, and you wont get similar gains as your old TT car, The twin power cars dont pick up nearly the power of the older ones.

Let me rephrase, looking for some input from 535 owner that has a tune installed they like. Just looking for good experience or bad experience. I am looking at the Burger Motorsports JB4 stage 2. Thanks

Can't go wrong with BMS JB4 Stage 2.
For something simple, then you can consider BMS Stage 1 or RaceChip Ultimate.

How far are you planning in modding the 535?

AW535I my fellow friend with 535 http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1068292

Has tried BMS Stage1, Afe Scorcher and Racechip Ultimate you will read through the thread and see his opinion about each.

Best is the JB4.
It offers more control, more features, more safety, and more power than any other tune.

Jb+ is a boost adder very similar to every other stage 1 available on the market. JB4 is different than the JB+ by the fact that it does not just add a certain amount of boost across the board, instead it will give you complete control over your power curve and boost targets ( each 500 rpm can have its own boost target). On top of that you get a ton of cool features, unlimited support and free firmware upgrade + an unbeatable price.

Stick with the JB4 for sure.

AW535I · 06-23-2015, 05:46 PM

Thanks for the input. I am thinking the stage 2 and doing the BMS intake, other than that update the brakes. I imagine I will be ordering through RG Sport since it sounds like they have someone available for questions.

Thank you.

I personally had F10 528 with JB4 Stage 2, ER catless.
Now I have ActiveHybrid5, and was playing with BMS Stage 1 and RaceChip Ultimate, didn't got a chance to do JB4 since the car has been having problem from day one.
But yea, BMS JB4 Stage 2 and the Intake would be the first step to do.

any issues with the JB on the active hybrid?

would appreciate feedback as looking now for my activehybrid 5.

just looking for the stage 1 I suppose as no other mods except supersprint exhaust and not looking for anything else engine wise.

No issues.
I had issues with the car itself, but sold a few sets to AH3, and no problem.

GTATX · 12-31-2015, 10:14 AM

Plus 1 for JB4 with 40% e85 mix (if ur car likes it) and BMS intake.

Even though since muffler delete I'm getting more lag but trying to figure out how to fix the lag.
