Thats a good question. Is your car modded otherwise. The reason I ask is that the PBX on map0 is invisible to any diagnostic scan. The only way BMW can find it is if they open up the ECU and look for it. If your cat is stock otherwise there is no reason for them to look. Even if you are modded they wouldn't look IMO but the risk goes up a little.

Buddy has pbx and some vmr v710s. Those are the only mods

J330 · 03-09-2010, 02:33 PM

so the Powerbox would be a good buy for my 330i?

c_jeong89 · 03-09-2010, 02:52 PM

i recommend anyone with a 325/328/330 should get this.

Definitely. You can PM me for a Promo Code for it

There are nice gains to be had on a 330!

You think they will open ecu if they see new wheels?

Guys, I've just purchased PBX, thanks to Mike. So I will try to install it ASAP. (Tax just pissed me off). So wish me luck, no update on alarm, not activated yet, just flashing. Good for now. I hope PBX will be what I expect.

nelnelxd · 03-14-2010, 10:13 PM

hey just wondering is there a way to hook up a laptop to it to change the maps? what if i am on the wrong setting doing all the pressing on gas peddle before a service...

ni8shadow · 03-14-2010, 10:27 PM

Just put in the FOB, press the ignition key (lights on dash but engine not running) hold down the gas pedal for 4+ seconds, release and then start the car. That is map 0.

LOPEZ10 · 03-15-2010, 08:58 PM

I just installed the Power Box that I purchased from Mike and all I can say is DAMN! This is a MUST have for anyone that does not own a 335i. A++++ from me, Great job N54 Tuning!

MOTO69JOE · 03-16-2010, 01:42 AM

I'm enjoying mine. I can feel it in 1-2 gear especially with map 3. Thanks!

Glad you're enjoying it

Like I mentioned many times the PBX is really the best mod for the money for these cars. No other mod will transform the car the way the PBX does!

I have a love hate relationship with my PBX. I love how much more fun it is to drive. I hate that I have to buy gas so much more often

My only real wish is that there was something between Map 2 and 3. For DD I wish there was something in the middle-75% maybe?

2006330iFTW · 03-18-2010, 12:36 PM

just about ready to get this thing

daheechang · 03-18-2010, 03:44 PM

just bought one 2 days ago. very excited to installa nd try it out. i have supersprint full cat w/ haman quads, gruppe m intake and mfd scoops. i was wondering, how do you tell which map you're in. i know you can reset and always get it to 0, but how can you tell which map you're in after tapping the pedal? does it show up on the dash?

c_jeong89 · 03-18-2010, 03:47 PM

nope u can't tell which map your in on the dash. but it comes with map 3 already so when you install it and start the car it'll be on map 3.

How big of a difference is the MPG with PBX?

daheechang · 03-18-2010, 04:29 PM

how do you swtich between the maps then?

c_jeong89 · 03-18-2010, 04:36 PM

well if you want to be sure just hold the gas pedal all the way down for 4+ seconds and you will be set to map 0. after that push the pedal all the way down and let go you will be at map 1. want map 2, push it again and let go, 3 do the same etc. once u get to the map number u want start the car.

Desi · 03-18-2010, 04:41 PM

Your website says that this works for all US and Canadian cars but dosen't list the 323i. However Mr.&Mrs323i, who appear to be driving a 323i, are talking this thing up. I wanted to confirm that this is compatible with my car.

Picking mine up tomorrow!
