You need to check to see if you have an electric of pneumatic boost solenoid. It's on the other side of the engine above the turbo. There is a picture of it on the BMS website. If you have the one that matches the BMS picture you are good.
For downpipe, there are only a couple on the market, I believe the ER catless and the Challenge catless and high f low cat. I went with the ER and love it. It is a bit louder but sounds good and you can definitely use it on a daily driver. Same deal with the intake, only a couple on the market, I believe AFE and Injen both make one for the F30. Also there are a couple drop in filters available. All can be either dry or oiled and have different cleaning/oiling requirements. I ended up going with an AFE drop in until the BMS intake is ready. I heard its in the finally stages and should be available soon. Last edited by D.Mathys; 06-23-2013 at 12:13 AM.. |

If you are in front of the car looking at the motor, it is on the left hand side. Connection with the split loom is the top. |

I just installed my JB4 stage 2 in F30 335 today, European version.
I cant find the solenoid in the left side. I do find similar one near the IMAP. So I plug the blue cable in it, did I do the right thing? Here is the image. Can someone help? Thanks |

Same as before actually. You can use the JB4 without that connection. Stage 1 actually tells you not to connect it. Stage 2 could go either way. There is a slight gain by using it but not sure you'd notice it unless you're going all out on mods.

When Terry released a recent software update he said the update was specifically a tweak for those cars with the solenoid connected. I'd ask BMS if you are concerned, I'm sure they are willing to answer any questions you may have. There are people running it without the solenoid connected for sure though. |
