JBD is an inexpensive way to get more power, but without as much control. $1300 is pretty steep though. It does include the hardware programmer, but damn. Anybody know if the ESS programmer is able to view or erase codes?

Just a general opinion question, will be picking up a new 335d with zsp, should i get rid of the RFTs as a first mod? Been reading majority says they are terrible with the 335i, but no comments with a 335d

Tires are tires and pretty much apply to all the platforms.

If u switch I recommend Continental DW, much better tread life than my previous Direzzas z1's, quieter, better in the rain, they just dint grip quite as well as the Direzzas in dry conditions, but my 2nd set of Direzzas lasted 3k miles, and that was with my wife putting most of the Milage on them.

My car came with Michelins instead of the Bridgestones - big improvement. My old 335i came with the Bridgestones and I replaced them with Michelins, which is why I know...

This was a great read. My JBD should be in my mailbox soon.
Not to question the results, but the runs were all done using a GPS like device? How do the results compare to a drag strip? Either way, good to see a stock v. JBD comparison using a before/after method.

hotrod, thanks for sharing and great write-up.
FYI, I think Mr.5 had thos wheels and 3/4 had cracks in them!! You might want to PM him to see if they're the same wheels. .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

That is inaccurate. Before swapping out my springs and shocks for the old BMW performance dampers I cross referenced part numbers with Tischer BMW comparing the "d" against a comprably equipped gas e90's and the suspension systems are the same.

My shocks in the rear for sure say "e90/91 Diesel" I've read somewhere too that part of the changes to a diesel was a specifically tuned suspension because it does weigh considerably more than a gas model. Maybe the sport suspension is different? not sure. i am pretty sure that the diesel and gas do have different suspension tuning of some sort. 335i vs 335d is a 300lbs difference in weight.

Believe it doesnt touch boost, just controls fuel.

To modify boost with the 335D/X5D takes a lot more than just the MAP sensor. You need the MAF sensor as well. Boost is already pretty high from the factory, I don't believe any tune is raising it significantly. Mike |

Mike,
Basically it looks like the results are similar I can't tell from your graph which run is JBD and which is VAC. I take it the JBD is upgradeable? I'm not familiar with the Canbus and cable option on your website. Is this just for diagnostics and upgrading the unit? I have an 08 M3 and now with a little girl in the family, it might be nice to get something different. Don't know if I can live with just Torque alone but if its really monster torque then maybe. Most of my driving lately is basic city driving so the M3 is overkill..... Any thoughts. PS: Just opened my eyes and see which is VAC and which is JBD....

And it is so easy to launch with all the torque. 2nd gear launches from an intersection are amazing. Around town is where the car shines. On the fwy, it is strange to refrain from down shifting too much. You can do a lot or passing starting at only 2500rpm on the fwy.
