Anytime you add more stress and heat to mechanical components, you shorten their service life. Is it worth it? You decide. ianc

I'd opine that rigorous maintenance (the old BMW schedule) would provide more life than any tune within the components capabilities (JB+ / JB<7) would take away. |

Maybe, but then one could go a step further and say that rigorous maintenance and NO tune would extend life still further...

But that same logic would have me eating bran for breakfast, cutting out all alcohol and getting at least 10 hours sleep per night, every night. And what fun would that be? Take care of your car/body within reason and you can push it a bit more. Balance is the key to life. |

However, in response to the question " will running a tune shorten my engine's life expectancy?', there is only one answer. Whether it's worth it or not is totally up to the individual. Apparently a lot of people think so... ianc

Concerning Turbo Lag due to recall of HPFP and Computer Reflash Per Katherine's voice mail: "BMW with the programming recall, has actually, um, done some modifications there, because of the throttle being too high, um, on these turbo engines. So, that's actually normal." So, BMW fixed that problem with a program to "design in" a normal defect. ;-) No "JOY." No "Ultimate..." Last edited by Brad135; 08-04-2011 at 10:58 AM..

Jb4 or Jb+ is an excellent way to add power. It could decrease the longetivety of the turbos, and probably will. Wastage's will develop rattle and oil seals will go faster. As far as engine there should be no problems. You will need to replace spark plugs and coil packs more often, but thats wear and tear. Good luck.
