Which tuning do you guys recommend for N54 engine?

Hello. I have a 2009 BMW E92 335i. Not really sure which tuning kits to use. Cobb AP? Vishnu V5? JB4? Comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

You will start a large Fanboy argument !! start by reading reviews written which many has a comparison with other tunning system

For instance Idnans review on CObb V Jb4

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=688565

And if you fancy yourself a cobb

Jamjay maybe selling his and its worth to save a few hundred buying second hand!

If you just want someone to tell you what's the best to put on then sorry there is no one answer.

Hi

You can try the JB4 for 14 days...its comes with a 14 day money back guarantee.

No gimmicks either, if the JB4 doesn't give you the "Wow effect" send it back and we refund in full

Cheers

Neil

Thats like saying BMW is better than Audi, everyone has there own view and there are postives and negatives for both. If budget is your issue, then the JB4 is the better option. If you can't install the JB4 then the Cobb is a better option.

I suggest you do as Yoro says and read the review I posted and make your own mind up. Neil's offer of a 14 day money back guarantee is a good shout also.

Do the 14 day trial.. As an addict myself, I suspect you won't send it back!
