BMS JB4 flash via Cobb AP
BMS JB4 flash via Cobb AP Who is going to try this new product? It is interesting how jb4 works like a flesh map, and Cobb has lots of features and is interesting too! I think somebody is runnig Cobb on 1M, does they have any specific map for the 1M, does the M button work? |

+1^, Backend flash is mainly to supplement fueling for those running upgraded turbos or higher concentrations of E85. If you're not doing that then running the regular maps with just the AP or JB4 is sufficient.

I recommend the Cobb, I'm running it for those reasons too. It's flexibility is nice, and being able to tune it myself without any downtime is great; It's currently setup for running E85 plus a bit more timing/boost than the OTS maps.
Plus if you ever do decide to go back to stock the resale value is there, where as it's pretty much zero with any other flash. |

I need to decide, to go with dp's and use all maps or to go with midpipes and go only with st.1 maps |

The closest map available from Cobb to what I'm running is their ST Race or E30 map, though mine has about 1-2deg more timing since I'm running a stronger concentration of E85. Compared to the base OTS Stage 2+FMIC map, mine still has about 5-6deg more timing up top, along with a bunch of other changes to make it smoother. I've also run the Stage2 Aggressive ST maps on my car when it was 100% stock w/E85, no issues there at all. My setup is currently only DCI's and DP's. The OTS maps are fairly conservative, we can get away with quite a bit. |

I'm going to make the FBO except intake, midpipe and blow-off, so I think it would be conservative set up for the st.2 maps, st.2+ I think I will use only on racings, but I'm not sure that I need it for a DD. Now looking for a DPs, VSRF with the discount are now $365 and BMS $379, did somebody try this DPs or heard obut it something? I used AR on my 335i, but now I think that BMS are like copy of them and I don't need to overpay for the brand... |

Nice! It'll be a nice bump in power. I do recommend getting at least DCI's, the stock intake is fairly restrictive.
A good option for them is to get these filters : http://************/crsdqru you'll need two of them. The one to use is the 2.25" inlet, 5" long ones, and pick up a 1ft section of Al tubing http://************/crj82vw This is basically the same thing as the BMS DCI, they use the same filters. The BMS DP's have been tried by many people on the other forums, feedback so far is that they fit perfect, much like the VRSF ones. Either one is a great option, and performs the same as the AR ones. |

So I did the same on my 335i, no intake! One of the guys did dyno on his 335i and he did with stock air filter and without any filer and he did the same result, so without stock air box shoul be more air flow than the aftermarket intake and still no power gain |

Nice times. For only $95, why not try the Burger DCI? With their 4 plus years of N54 testing, it might be worth a shot.

If the DCI didn't add a single HP it would still be worth of just for the added turbo noise you can hear once installed. At stock boost it might not add HP but what it does do is allow the motor to spool up quicker with less restriction. At stock power levels it's arguable if it adds HP but once you Increase boost it abs does.
