Installed my JB4 and the only issue I'm running into is the steering wheel controls to switch maps. What a PITA to run the OBD connection into the car. Anyways, anyone know why I don't have fuctions via steering wheel may be? I was able to change to Map 5 via laptop and it looks like I do have the most current firmware. Did some test runs and I'm impressed with the amount of power I felt. Kinda scared me a bit lol. I do need to troubleshoot the steering wheel functions but I think since I'm ordering the Bluetooth connection than what's the point?

It's my first post here but I've been scouring these forums ever since I bought my F10 535. I felt compelled to write this up so anyone out there with an F10 535 doesn't have the same issue. I recently bought and had installed the JB4 and a VRSF downpipe on my car. When I ordered the JB4 I opted out of ordering the usb cable because I wasn't going to do any dyno readings and it was listed as optional. Once my mechanic installed the tune and the pipe, we were unable to change the maps via the BC button, the mechanic checked all the connections again and again but still there was no sign of life from the JB4. Finally, after researching it more, he found out that in the F10, the tune comes preset to map 1 and in order to activate the BC button you need to hook up the USB cable and enable the option to change the maps. I was a little upset because there wasn't a single note of that on the ordering page and now I would have to wait a few more days to receive the cable plus the extra expense. I emailed BMS and luckily Ando got back to me within a few minutes and said I could pick up the cable in person at their warehouse so I went there the same day. The mechanic hooked it up and now all is good. For anyone who's getting the JB4 for their F10, the usb cable or the bluetooth connection is not optional, its mandatory!

BRO...DO YOU EVEN CLAY? Clay bar time! For those who don't know or ever done clay bar can be one of the most beneficial aspects of your paint if you're really looking for that glass look. It removes all the contaminants on your paint that have accumulated throughout the year...shit even years if you don't clay


This is the paint in its purest form. No wax, no sealants.

New tires and spacers. Was looking at wheels too but thought I had more time. Back tires inner wear was way worse than I thought. I kept checking my tire wear but I guess its easy to miss the very inner side of the tires. First time buying tires from tire rack, got Continental Extreme Contact Sport xl (not run flats). Pretty happy with them and tire rack.

Spacer from ebay. Tire guys warned me about spacers, so I said if they are in any way not perfect just don't install them. But when I came back they told me that they were very high quality and everything was good! I'm more conservative than a lot of you all and went 10mm front, 12mm rear. I love it. It's a bit more but not too aggressive.
