Most driveable tune
Looking for feedback on what is the most drivable tune, and what has the best power overall curve. Not so concerned with peak HP, but more how it functions in everyday driving. Looking at Cobb/ESS/Dinan, etc..
Any input is appreciated. |

Here is another thread on basically the same topic:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629859 Really there just isn't a lot of experience here since the 1M is so new. For a lot more information go to the regular 1 series n54 engine and tuning section. They have a LOT of experience there and it is 99% the same car as ours enginewise.

The COBB AccessPORT stage 1 is great for a DD as EINSER M mentioned. You'll also be able to download and choose a number of maps and choose the one that suits your driving habits best!

I have been extremely pleased with my ESS tune. It actually improved the drivability of the vehicle while still adding power. More importantly, I have had absolutely no issues with it.

Dinan is another good choice for its warranty. |

JB4 install took 1 hour by mechanic.
Hidden cable for updates, map changes as well as adjustable exhaust baffle changes on the fly with steering wheel controls (channel up down, volume up down buttons). Love it! |

JB4 is honestly a great product. Terry is extremely customer service oriented, always researching and adding new features to his JB4. The on the fly map switching, fuel - boost gauge monitor and other tweaks are all amazing.
It's definitely a great way to go and its price is right. |

Undecided whether to upgrade the JB or just wait for the flash tunes to evolve. Last edited by Zuzu; 01-24-2012 at 12:21 AM.. |

Having looked into both of the front runners here, would others agree that
1. Cobb is good for customizability and adaptability to other mods like Fmic and exhaust 2. Ess is good for out of the box improved gains even without any other mods. It seems some had issues when downpipes were added. Has anyone actually gotten the dinan tune? |
