Just installed the JB3 2.0 upgrade and the improvement is incredible!
The throttle response and acceleration are really good now. I would recommend this upgrade to anyone who has a JB. |

I did buy the data cable but the only thing you really need is the 2.0 upgrade chip. You just take out the JB3, open the cover and swap the chip. You don't need the cable unless you want to monitor engine parameters or change settings.
As long as you have the JB3 version with the serial port connector, you should just need this http://www.burgertuning.com/jb3update.html. As far as installing the JB3 (plug and play), the Z4 is much easier than other BMWs. The ECU sits right in the engine bay up high and all you need is a torx screw driver. The whole install process took me half an hour (I could do it in 10 minutes now that I've done it once). I'd come over and help you out but it's a bit far Cheers, Marc |

Well i got the chip 2.0, installed it. Put it on map 5, and went for a test drive.
To be totally honest, i didnt notice any difference between map 5 v1.4 or map 5 v2.0... What am i missing here :s |

Huge, as in more power? How much more HP is claimed between 1.4 and 2.0? Looking at some dyno charts, I couldn't find any real difference. People talked about smoother ride, but I also am not sure what should be smoother, what do I really feel?
