BMS JB4 installation

Hey - I wanted to see if any of you have experience with the BMS stage I or II tune? I wanted some installation advice and any feedback regarding the tune.
Any comments on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don't know if you're still looking for some feedback, but I have a JB4 (Stage 2) in my F07 535...nice improvement, smooth, powerful, not a rocket, but darn fast...highway passing is a real joy...it's amazing how fast you can accelerate from 100 km to 140...easy to get into trouble but feels great! Best of luck.

ya, I went with the JB Stg 1 and removed the charcoal filters and did a cat back M5 mufflers, it worked out really well, not too high pressure and very noticeable difference in power, happy with it.

I went with stage 1 and it seems like its a lot easier to install/remove than II so not too sure I can be of too much help to you. Stg II is awesome apparently. Let us know how it goes.

Nice, I'm sure its crazy Have you done the Customer care recall stuff for your car yet? I noticed after I did mine that it seemed to pull harder as well then again I wasn't firing on all cylinders before the changes.

Sounds like a good idea, ride it out and get a bunch of new parts at the end of summer. Enjoy the tune that you just put on (as long as your under warranty)
