Unleashed the Beast

I have been researching the forum for over a year and decided to purchase an e90 335i as my DD. I've only had the car for four months and began to get bored with the power. ... After tons of reviews on the JB3 from BMS I decided to place my order. Let me say first off that the delivery was extremely quick and the install only took me 1hr (friend accidently dropped screw driver in engine bay and took 30min to retrieve). While I am no mechanic I have to say this is an amazing product.

1st Test Drive:

JB3 v1.4 Map 3

Power felt smooth and linear as I coasted. However, as soon as I decided to mash the pedal during a WOT run I was immediately thrown back chirping 1st and 2nd gear. All I can say is this is defenitely the best bang for buck tune on the market and I forsee myself being a long term BMS customer.

That's hilarious that you mention ponticrap G8s. Every day, and it really does seem like every day, some douche tries to blow past me in his ponticrap G6 (not 8) on the way to work. Needless to say, the success rate of this maneuver is limited to when I'm not willing to burn the gas, however; life is too short to waste time worrying about burning gas

Nice! You won't need Map 5 or 7 to beat a G8 all you need is Map 3, no problem. Have fun!
