Hey guys i actually purchased a 2016 550i myself and was hesitant on getting the jb4 only bcuz i was hearing i might need to upgrade sparkplugs or i might expierence misfires. Is this true or should i jus go ahead with the purchase of the jb4?

With more air and fuel packed into the cylinder with increased boost, the mixture gets harder to ignite. There's always a chance your spark plugs could be on their way out and running the JB4 will show you that. Many of us ran the JB4 for a long time without replacing anything.

Just have a code reader ready so if you do start experiencing misfires you can tell what cylinders they occur on and then start diagnoses (usually the coil goes first).

Then sould i just go ahead and purchase these performance coil set along with the jb4 or just wait and see if the misfires take place?

Since you have a 2016 which is the n63tu motor no need to change anything ur coils should be good just buy the jb4 get it installed and enjoy the difference

ARC550, are you guys for real? Running 3+ o'clock setting without downpipes? Sorry, do not take me the wrong way, but that is almost 4.5-5 additional PSI. What elevation and which gas u r using? How long have u been running on that high of a setting?
I am at 800 ft elevation and 93 octane and was concerned running anything above 1 o'clock.

The TU engines have fail safe built into Ecu. If it is not safe to go past certain psi it will Not. Your fine. I ran it for 30k miles no issues and I drive it like a stole it everyday.
Must make sure always 93 octane. Hell you can squeeze some E85 in and feel the difference! 30-35% ideally.

+1

Good quality 93 such as Shell, 76/Phillips66, Valero, Costco, BP or CITGO (TopTierGas.com rated)
Adding 3-5 gallons of E85 to your 3/4 tank will give you more performance and keep your IAT temps cooler with the more aggressive psi + (perfect for drag runs)

I just installed mine tonight. Is the difference supposed to be immediate or does it take awhile I don't feel much difference if any at all
