30whp seems like the max B48 can take with ecu chip tuning.
RAPID chip also released their product, and quite a few members are getting 30whp gain as well. which is not bad at all for under $1000 investment. Although i was hoping it could hit 300hp (not whp) with the chip.. |

Or to put another way, if you can't notice, you don't need the extra power. |

530i is putting down anywhere from 220 ~ 230 at the wheels. Chip will get you somewhere around 250~260. I've seen 265 on premium gas mapping today. It doesn't feel much down low, but difference truly shows on the highway or when the RPM goes above 3000rpm. |

Just an update, people are hitting 270~275whp with 700 dollar chip tuning without other modifications. Simple bolt-on.
That puts us into a slightly slower 540i stock range. Just FYI. |

Does the b48 from the 530e and the 530i net the same end hp?

In the EU we also have a 520i, as far as I can see , the 520i , 530e and the 530i has the same engine. But what is the difference ? just tuned down for the 520i and 530e ?
Or does the 530i have som different parts to get more power? |

I have my 2018 530i now for 4 months and have have tried 2 different tunes. First I had the JB+. It was set at 4 pounds of extra boost and took about 30 seconds to install. I liked it. You can definitely feel the difference.
But then I had the chance to pick up the dinan sport tune. I am liking this tune a lot more than the JB+. It took 5 minutes to install because it plugs into an extra sensor and I zip tied the wires to hide them. It has Bluetooth so you can switch between different boost pressure settings and even has a built in boost gauge in the app. Although it supposedly only increases boost by 4 pounds, it feels substantially stronger and smoother than the JB+. Luckily I got a 430 GC for the wife so I put the JB+ in her car. When I get bored, I'll try the JB4 and possibly the Active Autowerke tunes. So far I'm very happy with the Dinan tune. |

Although BMS website does not have the 530 under list of compatible cars with the Jb+ and Jb4 im sure it is compatible.
I sent an email to Terry to confirm

FWIW, for those with the 530e, I've received confirmation from Terry that both the JB+ and JB4 B48 tunes will work on the 530e. I'm excited to try these out.
I contacted Dinan and they said their tunes are not compatible with the 530e, so there's that. |

I bought a JB+ to test it out. Will post my impressions. I know there's another forum member who's been running the JB+ on his 530e for the past 3-4 months without issue. |

Post JB+ Experience
Ok guys - I just installed the JB+ on my 2018 530e this evening. I was a bit nervous but I saw that this will go only in one of the map connectors and was also worried if I fitted it losely but it came out to be a snug fit. Also, I don't think the engine would have fired if I had connected it losely so all is good. I also maxed out the psi level all the way clockwise to the right (5 o-clock).
So then I took her for a spin up and down the hills, about 10-12 Miles round trip, and quite frankly, didn't notice much of a difference. I had gauged with the sport displays before the JB+ and it had tapped out at 240/300 and I had similar results after the JB+, maybe around 250/310. I drive efficiently most of the time so flooring the gas l is not what I do usually but I did most often in my "test drive" post JB+ installation, but it didn't go past 245-250ish. Is there a break in and learning period for the JB+? Am I going to feel the difference on the freeway when I pass other cars? Tell me more ... |
