Ordered the PBX for my 128i, should have it installed in my car within the next two weeks. When I install it, I will try and post new 0-60 times, don't think I'll be able to do a video though and my numbers will not be 100% accurate. As of now I have an injen CAI, and lighter tires. My car does 0-60 in the low 6s. Between 6.1-6.5. I have some videos on you tube to prove this. Another factor that comes into play also will be the weather, it is in the 30s and this will provide me with another big advantage. Also my car is AT

If you have PBX on Map 3 + Injen you will hear a breathing sound no matter how gentle or hard you hit the pedal. It drones and gets louder through out the entire rev band. Finally it gets very loud above 3500rpm.

Thanks for the input guys! Yeah it seems the high rpm breathing really benefits from the increased airflow of the Injen, when combined with the PBX. Consistent, repeatable high 5's from 0-60 make for a sweet, good performing street machine!

I timed (using my iphone's stopwatch lol) the 0-62 at 6.5secs - MUCH better than my personal best of 7.5secs in my 125i. (with power box, grr)

still dont have the pbx yet! It was supposed to be delivered on Sat. but i wasn't home to sign the delivery. Went to post office to pick it up on Monday, guy there said the package was out for redelivery, and I signed a thing so I didn't have to be home to sign for the package. Said it was suppose to be there later in the day. It's now Tuesday and the PBX still hasn't been delivered yet

So finally I have the PBX installed in my car after a very long wait. Anyways there is good news and bad news to this. I'll start with the good first. The installation was pretty straightfoward, and directions were easy to follow. The only major difficulty was plugging the ECU after you take it out. Performance wise there is definetly a difference, you can feel the car pull harder and accelerate quicker. I do not know how all the maps work yet though; so far I've only used map three. Which leads me to the bad news. For the first time in two years, and in this car, I got pulled over! Clearly it was my fault, I accelerated from 0-60 from a redlight on a 50 mph road because this car with an injen and pbx is just insane to do it with! The officer was kind enough to give me a ticket for doing 5 over but let this be a lesson for those who get the pbx pls watch out for cops when speeding or don't speed haha! If anyone has any questions about installation or wants more information on how the performance is let me know I'll be sure to post another review

Any updates regarding codes or dealer inquiries after taking in your car for servicing after installing the PBX?

install is not bad, just getting to the ecu is the frustrating part.
