2012 e89 35is chip tune help & recommendation
Hi, all
this is very very first time to do on my car except caliper paint warranty just expired so I want to start with simple thing now Chiptuning is the simplest one I think please give me advise 1) what do you recommend for beginner?(mine is 335HP now I want to reach 400HP) 2) how much it is? 3) does the chip tune require some hardware upgrade? 4) any special tool needed? ( I have jack & stands + basic tool 243pcs set) 5) how long will it take time for beginner? ( I will do my year-end vacation) Thank you guys |

Check out E90post, N54 engine section. You'll find all the help you'll need over there.
Keys items. JB4, Cobb, MHD are all for tuning. To reach the goal you want, 400hp, you'll also need some other mods such as FMIC (front mount intercooler), chargepipe, downpipes, panel air filter, and some decent gas. With all the above you'll be considered full bolt on, or FBO. Once you're at that level, and still need more power you can give custom tuners like Wedge, or PTF a call… GL!

Get a cobb access port. With a Stage 1 remap (takes no more than an hour) you will get quite close to 400. You will need a FMIC and downpipes for higher stages that should take you over 400

MHD offers bunch of maps and options right now. And they improve the app every single month. Cobb already left the platform and no updates anymore. You cannot find enough information about MHD here. Search it on e90 forums and you will definitly go with that. Or you can PM me any of your question and I can answer. I have used JB4, Cobb and MHD so have idea how they all work. If you still wanna go with Cobb, people are selling their Cobb in e90 forums because they all switched to MHD |

I bought this cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s01
and this OTG: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00 and they both work perfectly. I haven't had one issue. |
