Results are attached for BMS JB4 on map 2 with 94 Octane... ambient temp around 15 degree C

I'm pretty sure the car can do 11.2's... But i felt sorry for the car after I did 5 back to back runs lol

I have done well with the car...a best of 12.19 at 117 MPH bone stock on stock tires (PS4’s).

I have beaten a bunch of much faster cars with it too on poor prep days against my RWD competition.

I can’t seem to post my slip - I will when I’m home.

I really didn't think this was possible, I love my m550i even more now! Lol!

Hey, I'm just a regular guy, 50 years old, just got an M550. I use pump gas, stock exhaust. If I am just using 93 octane, no modifications, no anything, and they're only offering map one right now for the JB4,is there really a difference between jb4 and jb1???

The reason I ask, is jb4 is saying 40- 100 HP gains, but is that with modifications and different fuel? I would like a plug-and-play system, but 40 hp seems minimal compared to the Dinan tune of 590+

Thanks so much for the response. Great information. Your personal Pinyan, cost efficiency, bang for the buck… Do I really need the Jb4 if the stage one is producing such good numbers? The numbers have persuaded me to go with BMS. But which one, that is the question

Also, I just received an email from Christine at BMS, she wrote that they are only using map one right now on the jb4, yet the other poster said he used map 2. I'm so confused

I never seem to see any quarter mile runs for 540's, seems to be only the 550's.

I have a 2018 540d xDrive. I just ordered a Dragy and will post some times by next week. I'm interested to see how the heavier, but torquey, diesel stacks up.

They have already fixed the launch problem.

This was shortly after installing the E50 tune, and also xHP. One of these mornings I'll get my ass up and see if I can get some 45F runs in, but not until I put real tires on the car.

Need two weeks for the weather to improve before I put my new wheels and tyres on. I'm willing to bet the car has a 10.8 in her using just a JB4 on pump. I don't think the LCI has much more till a full ECU tune comes along however.
