Welcome to 1Addicts. Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Now get a tune on that sucker. I had JB3 on my N54 and it was a monster, easily keeping up with my friends E60 M5. Mad. |

JB3 (now JB4) offers +80 whp/wtq straight out of the box on an N54 135i. I believe JB also offer a similar upgrade for the N55, but the gains are more modest 50-60 whp/TQ: http://www.burgertuning.com/N55_Jb_B...nce_Tuner.html Mad. |

First off, welcome to 1Addicts. WRT the M5 - Absolutely, he could not get away! I was on my own, the M5 had a passenger. He saw me and was ahead I just heard him change down and rev the car and I was on it. I stopped his pull immediately then we were pretty much dead even up to 140. I bottled out after that, but he kept on - silly bugger. I'm really amazed with the JB3. I do miss full throttle in 1-2 gears, which is next to useless as traction starts to get limiting @ 400 BHP with only rear-wheel drive. If you get a 135i, they are great cars & real sleepers. No one really expects a little 1 series to be so quick (even stock). I have a TTRS now with 415 bhp/450 lbft TQ, and that is even quicker IMO, probably due to less weight and 4WD. Cheers, Mad. |

What HP does just a JB4 give you and how much does it cost?

On older twin turbo N54 engined cars, map 5/7 gives 80-100 bhp/100 lbft TQ at the crank. Later TwinPower single turbo N55 engined cars get similar or slightly less on the stage 2 JB4. All this is on a stock car running 98 octane fuel (93 US). For more info on pricing see: http://www.burgertuning.com/products.html Mad. |
