I drive an 08 335i n54 of course and i was thinking about purchasing the jb2 pinout (n54 stage 1) for my car and i wanted to know if it was safe for the car. my car currently has 41k miles. let me know if theres anything else i need to know about that tune. thanks!

BMS tunes are very safe and unbelievably reliable in the N54's.
I run a JB4 and not a single issue. If money permits I strongly recommend the JB4 over their smaller mod you are looking at. I understand $ can be an issue tho. Look on the forums, you can probably get a JB4 cheaper than what it is brand new!

Get a JB4. The JB2 is outdated as hell(you can't even buy one new from BMS AFAIK.) As far as safety goes: all currently available big name tunes are very safe and very reliable, including the juice boxes.

i would pass on the pin out. its pain to install/uninstall and jb/proceed prices have come down so much that it doesnt make sense to buy. if you're set on a piggyback u can probably find a used jb4/proceed for dirt cheap.
