I agree I ll know more this weekend once installed but the fact the Cobb is much easier to install and uninstall is a huge plus for me

Cobb tune (if and when it is released) will be the last mod on my X5 (if it will even work on the E70 platform). Next purchase is a BMW motorcycle... Haven't decided which one yet though...

^^ how has the JB3 been on your X5? Any check engine lights, limp mode or codes with it? I am going to hang on to my Cobb when i return my 335 in hopes that they'll have a tune ready for the F10 by then. If not i'll have to switch back to the JB which i rather not do unless i have to.

only time I had issues with the JB3 was when it was first released (as I was the test dummy for the X series), but after the last update back in march '11 no issues with the tune... I've had another issue, but i don't think its the tunes fault... When I got the FMIC upgraded, the JB3 actually caused a boost leak when set to +5 over boost (because the silicon hose popped off the passenger side of the FMIC)... I need to update my sig block because I'm set to only +3 over with no pop off issues...

I may invest in a CP as well, but I don't see any that are compatible with the E70/F10 series... (X5 and 5 series share the same parts)

Can't wait, I've been waiting for cobb.

Too bad Matt isn't around to help you with the mods anymore.

I like mine okay but after I took it off the last time I vowed it would never go back on. Complete nightmare I would never relive again. I'll be selling mine when I get around to it. I'm either going with the Cobb or a flash tune that is available locally.

Oh well, everyone moves on to better and brighter things eventually... If he told me I had to go to where he is now for service/mod support, I would go there... It doesn't matter what shop he's located at, as long as I could get the same type of service from him..

Like I said, as long as HE's the one providing the service, it doesn't matter what *Business* name it's under...

Guess I'll be holding off on future mods anyway... a Charge Pipe and Cobb's tune are the final pieces for the X, and it's done... No meth (and I don't want to be the first X5 with meth either, no thanks, unless it's free *hint, hint*), no DP (because someone would kill me if I did)...

Got to save up for the BMW F 800 ST (because the S 1000 RR is out of my league)

Blood and tears removing the fuel connector. Took me days and I have scars to prove it. Went on fine but was impossible to get off. Likely if you have small vice-grip-like hands it might be easy. Sadly I have gigantic paws not suitable for it.

Good news! it make my day

How did the device perform? Any issues there?

Sam335ix · 03-09-2012, 08:45 PM

Called Cobb, they are long ways out to what they said! Maybe end of summer.

N55 is helpless.
