335xi 6MT- 2008

I recently had the flash installed.

Dyno results
These have been posted before. @ 80WHP over stock and 100ft/lb over stock

Drivability
After coming off the JB3 (which I loved) the power comes on earlier, stays longer and is incredibly smooth. It feels just like a stock pull, just SOOO MUCH MORE Power. The AWD was breaking free easily in 1st and a bit in second. I actually had to pay attention, the car was a bit unruly! With the torgue band coming on so quick, you really feel it at the beginning of the pull.

AccessPort
This is probably the best part of the tune. It came loaded with 4 maps;
Stg 1 93 Octane
Stg 1 91 Octane
Valet
Map 0 (stock)

Stage 2 and custom maps for modded cars are on the way! I can hold up to 10 different maps on my AP unit- all of which I can easily pull off of their webite as they become available.

It takes about 20 minutes to load the flash, about 2 seconds to switch. The handheld unit is very intuitive and simple to navigate. Along with map management, I can view realtime info from rpm-afr-boost(no need for a boost guage)-iat etc. There are like 12-15 parameters. While watching, it records mx/min levels on the screen.
It can log up to 10 hrs of all of these parameters and with the usb cable (provided of course) you can dump all of this onto your PC and manage using the cobb management software.
The AP also allows you to read and clear all codes (no need for the BT tool).

Additionally, the AP can log 0-60 pulls and 1/4 mile pulls!

While I understand that the V4/5 and JB4 can also do most if not all of these functions, the best part is that after pulling my JB3 last night I NEVER HAVE TO ACCESS MY ECU AGAIN!. Gone are the days of planning the 30-45 minute "removal session" prior to a dealer vist.

Checklist-
Power YES
Smooth YES
Simple to use YES
Scalable with my mods YES
Stealthy YES
Safe YES
Data Logging YES
Clear codes YES

Congrats.

Are you going to custom tune your car with this?

[Alan l.]

Good to hear.

If possible you should post up some logs for everyone to see how they look. Boost, timing...the more the better.

This will give us a much better picture of how the car is running.

Thanks!

Alan

Love to but it will be a week or so- headed out of town.

Excellent! I like all the positive testimonies that affirm that this is the tune to go with!!! Thanks for the info! Can't wait for the '07 support

[scottp999]

Excellent review. I hope they work on something that will switch maps automatically if there is a meth failure. Even If you have to run a few wires to make that happen.

[Alex]

Excellent. I'm sure the XI owners will be grateful to know your first-hand experience.

[Dannydeleted]

Glad to hear you're having some fun!!!

[Willizm]

when is this becoming available for the xi models and also when is the tuning software going to be made available?

He will have to go to the dragstrip. This forum allows no street racing videos.

[Boostin335]

Do you/ Are you leaving the AP in your car at all times? How does it relate to cold temps (under 20 degrees) and over 100 degrees? Issues?

[**335i**]

yes i wanted to say dragstrip or closed street

[chiaobaby]

Good review but I have a question i just spend 20 minutes looking at Cobb website I saw all the maps for manual and auto I did not see a map for 335 XI from Cobbs first post states that they do not have a map for xi yet?? How come they did not post the map if you have it installed already?

Thanks

[mkPOTO]

TXSailor's car was the first 335XI this was tested on. We are doing additional testing and should be able to announce XI support shortly.

Thanks!

Gary - 2007 support soon please. I'm interested. May keep my current tune and buy yours as well. Of course would uninstall what I have now before trying yours.
