Sweet ride black is always an awesome choice!!
I had my 335"eye s" for 1.5 yrs now and I'm eyeing some mods again so I'm trying to decide for a tune myself: it's between: 1. JB4 (a piggy back) - for undeniable great results, price and the best customer service around (Terry is awesome) 2. Cobb (a flash tune) - for proven reliability and results, super easy installation (aka flash tune for dummies, my grandma can do it), great customer service... Installation for JB4 (~30min): if you basically don't mind opening the cowel, unscrewing a few bolts and get to the DME to remove the tune prior to service, go for JB4! Compared to Cobb (~15min): plug in AP into OBDII, push button, make yourself a Mastro Lorenzo Espresso Intenso, sip-n-joy, and bam, flash is done! You really can't go wrong with either one performance wise!

You pay more for the Cobb for 2 main reasons: simplicity of (un)install and the fact that it overrides the stock ECU settings (unlike JB which intercepts them) making it a proper tune.
I recommend JB4 if you're mechanically inclined and want to save $$s; if you don't know the difference between torx and Phillips bolts, then Cobb it is. Being unbiased - BOTH will give you similar gains in performance...

Hell yea! Wait until you "break in" the car and start using the Sports button. I gave up on trying to save gas weeks ago! lol I believe the tint is 3M, 5% on the back 3 windows and 15% up front. Got a ticket on the 405 last week though, oh well. And as a matter of fact i got a no front plate ticket this morning ! damn you california !

n54 (2) medium turbos Its good that your chipping your is because a stage 3 needs the oil cooler that the is comes with. I would also suggest an intercooler (or cold air intake) if you actually are going to go with the stage 3 that you linked because of the increased heat generated from the engine being sucked into the intake. |

Grtz on the IS. lots of fun even without tune. There are lots of good comparisons on tunes in the engine section.
If you haven't driven in S+Sport mode. Ie. dct shifter left into drive sport and punch the sports button. (after you break in the car ) A lot more fun than drive+sport. Of course I think my gas meter is broken now, cause it always shows empty... -Hoi |

Have not dynoed the new software yet but its noticeably & measurably more powerful then the old version. One member has dropped from a 12.8 to a 12.5 second quarter with just the 335is software upgrade. Think both Cobb & JB are good systems but the JB4 has 335is specific maps. The Cobb is easier to install & uninstall.
