N52 PowerBox Final Map Configuration
Hey guys..
Now that we are finally shipping the new tune, I have had a lot of questions about the maps it comes pre-loaded with. Well here is the official map guide Map Guide for PBX Map 0: --Disables PBX, all signals pass through Map 1: --30% throttle remapping, performance tuning on Map 2: --60% throttle remapping, performance tuning on Map 3: --100% throttle remapping, performance tuning on Map 4: --30% throttle remapping, performance tuning off Map 5: --60% throttle remapping, performance tuning off Map 6: --100% throttle remapping, performance tuning off Map 7: -- Throttle remapping disabled, performance tuning on Mike |

Stupid question but why would you want performance tuning off? Map 4, for example. When would you want to use tuning off with only 30% throttle remap? Can you actually feel a difference from stock in real world driving with Map 4? Sorry for being clueless. Thanks!

It's kind of like a... Revolutionary new "Welcome" mat which claims to allow you to position it 8 different ways! Maybe so, but almost everyone will position it with the word "Welcome" facing up and directed at the people coming straight toward the door, since no other way makes any sense. Make any sense???
So, just use map #3... |

After 2 days driving around on the wet road with the BMS PowerBox Map 3 configuration. I found my 1st gear is quite useless coz it keeps losing grip above 3k rpm =). Therefore the other maps setting are available

I'm not exaggerating but in fact the car is faster. It's not fast like a bolt on turbo or 135i. It's fast like a faster stock 128i with 20hp more. Like I said it feels like a 129i if it existed. It will not hurt to add a few extra horses and torque anyway...you will only appreciate more the simpleness and beauty of a N/A inline 6 engine.

Yep, good to hear, waiting is painful at this stage.
Will be interested to see how the 125i performs with the BMS box, between the 2 of us (1 with injen and 1 without) and an iphone with the Dynolicious app, we should be able to give a fairly good review on the improvements. Makes it easy that you can turn the chip on and off too

Have installed the BMS box this afternoon. Went for a quick test drive, immediately noticeable is the throttle sensitivity. Will need more time to comment on performance improvement.
Only thing i noticed on the install which i would say needs a change is one of the wires is stated as being "white" when it's white with yellow stripe, not a huge deal as it also lists the port number on the connector thingy, but every other cable's noted correctly apart from this one, so was a little concerned initially.. car runs though - will check later and advise which wire it was (might be that the Aussie version has a slightly different wiring, our ECU is on the right side of the car when looking into the engine bay from the front - instead of left side like US?) Would be good if somehow the car could show what map it's on, like show as the CD track no. or something.. hard to be 100% sure of the map being on correctly. Anyway stoked!
