Apparently cars made 6/2020 and prior are cracked. Anything newer is not.

But yes. Remaps are technically superior compared to piggybacks.

Just my 2 cents. Everyone should experience at least stage 1, but stage 2 is where it's at. Biggest decision maker for me was whether or not I wanted to add a downpipe. I obviously went catless to save money over catted, but super happy with the results. Sounds great with stock muffler and nothing obnoxious, but if you step on it your presence will be heard!

Bm3 stage 2
Vrsf catless downpipe

Stage 2 is soooo much more refined! Smooth shifts, TORQUE TORQUE TORQUE, and no more turbo lag.

Another factor for me was obviously reliability. I know for a fact that I never drive my car hard or try to race Infinitis and other cars alike lol. Just like knowing that the power is there when I need it. Overall, impressed with stage 2 so far and makes me want to drive the car all the time!

Re-installed JB4 a few weeks back after running the car stock for months. Custom map 6 with
~E25. Absolutely no other mods.

Boost season is back. It was cold today when I did a launch control run.

0-60 surprised me. Best ever so far!

In the mean time get a good remap, that will give it a healthy hp boost for 1k only.
Sadly, not every countries in the world have 340i. In my country for instance only sell 320i&330i. No 340i. So for some of us we’re stuck with 330i

Who did your map, and what was your trap speed at that run?

We have a (really) small WhatsApp group where we discuss tuning on the B46/48 and most of us run JB4s. So we post logs of our cars and then fiddle around with boost and duty bias and other stuff to extract performance while the logs still look perfect. I've been running this map for more than 10k miles with zero issues. I don't push the car and launch it very rarely nowadays. I love how it feels almost like a remap instead of a piggyback.

Trap speed was slightly more than 107mph. I don't have the dragy app on this phone so I can't check but I can post the actual speed after I get back home tomorrow.

Edit - Just checked the app. Trap speed was 106.25mph. Not the highest trap speed I've got (highest was 107.5mph).

It's pretty decent. Still not as good as the Audi EA888 engines though. Friends have JB4 running map 3 with 93 octane fuel and no other mods and they do 12.7s quarter miles and 0-60 in 4.4-4.5s.

Don't they have pretty serious oil consumption issues?

I don't think the new EA888 (gen 2 and 3) have oil consumption issues. I've never had to top up oil in my B9 A4 which was tuned and driven hard. I've had to top up oil in the B46 twice.

Interesting. I'd say you should get that checked out but not worth it since you're on a lease.
