Cobb AP - euro support inplace - groupbuy?

335iLondon · 12-19-2011, 09:08 AM

Right costs are 750 USD shipped
I need to clarify that this is to three address's not the same one!

Thoughts?

Happy enough with that (est about Â£580ish after customs)... Is there anyway to minimise customs charges etc

Cozy · 12-19-2011, 05:57 PM

Sounds good, at today's rate that's £480 shipped + taxes. As above, best way to tackle?

The Cobb AccessPORT is a great tune and I've been extremely happy with the results on my 335i as well. I'm actually excited for all you guys in EU as there the tune is finally supported!!

Nigelo · 12-20-2011, 11:08 AM

I'm looking forward to getting it too - I had a mazdaspeed 3 before the 335I and was always jealous that the US guys had an accessport but it wasn't supported for the UK. Cobb seem to be pretty good with map availability so I can put it on before I get my dp's and intercooler fitted, and simply swap to the more aggressive maps then.

Only thing thats a bit of a downer is the lack of integrated meth control as I was thinking about it.

Just read through the above and got a bit more excited about this!

Am awaiting a response from Alan at modbargins.

Wil update when we have defiantly found the best price!

Re Meth, that is coming soon with the stage 3 maps, or so it is speculated on the US boards.

Cozy · 12-21-2011, 02:49 AM

Awesome review! I need this.

Nigelo · 12-23-2011, 04:28 AM

Just a wee bump in case anyone else would like to jump in to a group buy!

Cozy · 12-23-2011, 09:03 AM

+1

I'm ready to part with my money

zltm089 · 12-23-2011, 04:46 PM

what price for the group buy?....

Nigelo · 12-23-2011, 06:21 PM

Think we're at US$735 shipped currently.

Cozy · 12-23-2011, 10:18 PM

£470 approx

To be honest I've paid more for a remap without the option of changing maps or updates so it's looking pretty good however, if we get a couple more in then the price could drop further.

zltm089 · 12-24-2011, 07:40 AM

At £470, I still think it is a "bit" much....Other "popular" (JB4, evolve etc) remapping options are around the £300/£350 mark.....

Come on Cobb, bring the price down......

Cozy · 12-24-2011, 08:50 AM

How much is the Evolve handheld flash (whatever it's called)? Does it have all of COBB's functions?

Nigelo · 12-25-2011, 06:25 AM

The cobb unit is a little different. We all know evolves maps are excellent, so I'll just give cobb's features. Cobb give the user a range of maps for different stages and setups for no extra, and any updates are free (and Cobb do keep refining), Cobb's box will read and delete codes, datalog and do live sensor readouts, and eventually they release accesstuner so your car's map can be worked on locally. You can also resell it for max value as the buyer doesn't need to pay for new maps.

Just to be clear, you will not get the number of maps, with the switchable features the cobb ap offers for less money.
Ie an evolve-r is min 600 quid with map.

Trust me, if you want a flash based tuning option which you can grow with the addition of other mods to the car, Cobb is the way to go.

Flash and forget - or more personalised flash tuning on dyno, evolve all the way!

seanblee · 12-25-2011, 02:41 PM

Evolve don't do 'dyno tuning' per se, at least not for stage one - they read your standard map, dyno the car, apply their modified map then dyno it again. It may be different for stage two of course...

You don't need a dyno to put a flash tune on a car today at all, actually. You only need the dyno for developing the tune - or of course making a custom one-off for very specific hardware (which is what the professional COBB option will be able to do).

Flash and forget - Evolve all the way!

I'd agree with the latter part of that. As for Cobb, their customer service to UK customers is, as yet, untested. Not saying it won't be fine, but I prefer the familiarity of Imran and the Evolve guys up there in Luton. I've found their service levels to be spot on so far and will be getting the stage 2 from them in early January.

But I shall watch this Cobb development with interest.

Certainly, if you have the N54 motor, you're spoiled for choice - Evolve, JB4 and now Cobb to name but three.

Happy New Year guys! Mike.

For the first time in two weeks I'm going to be sober enough to drive again (damn you Christmas!) so I want to hurry and order this

Cozy · 12-30-2011, 05:36 PM
