Right~ I have my PBX installed almot a month~ no lights no nothing working like a charm!

as for warranty issue u probably have to un-install ur injen when u go for an oil change which is like a 45mins job. I doubt they will open up ur HVAC covers and stuff just to take a look at your ECU wiring.

I believe I can answer your concerns a bit better this time cozza.

Prior to the PBX, I was getting 11.0-11.3 L/100km average, the best tank I think was 10.8. The last tank (first full tank with the PBX) was 11.5, so nothing out of the ordinary really.

50km into this next tank though and I'm happy to report: 9.0 L/100km. Nine-point-f*#kn-zero. I drove my regular route in the same conditions I've been doing all along.

I'm a slightly economy-minded driver so to say I'm chuffed would be an understatement! Simple truth of the matter is, my fuel economy has improved by 20%. IMO this is largely due to 6th gear being so usable now

On this discovery alone I would highly recommend the PBX.

my mileage went down since my tune most likely due to my steel foot flooring it all the time

Interesting observation. Thanks

I have also experienced better overall mileage due to increased use of sixth gear. I find that when in sixth at low rpm, I now have better torque and response. In my view, this has increased the useability of the vehicle, in addition to the outright performance being improved. Pbox=great idea.

Finally done some before/after acceleration tests with both auto and manual 125i.

The good news:
Auto: 0.44 seconds faster 0-100kph
Manual: 0.19 seconds faster 0-100kph

The bad news.
