Hey folks...

Just took delivery of the M140i..and coming from multiple M3's, id love to give this mommy / daily rocket...bit more boost.

You remap the car yourself with a laptop and a choice of different maps based on the grade of fuel and physical mods you've done to the engine

I love the JB4. You can select various maps on the fly. Also has custom map if you want to tinker. Also supports turning on/off exhaust flap via blinker button - very nice.

M140i? That's a custom engine for the X3?

Mission Tune, both motor and transmission...by a long shot...some of the boys on here are hitting high 11's in the 1/4 with it.

How are you finding the stage 1 93 Oct map?
Has it brought the burbles back? Can you adjust this in bm3?
What power\torque figures are you getting?

Spoonhead · 06-08-2019, 05:33 PM

The tune is great. It’s early days so hard to put your foot down around town, but it feels faster. I’d only done 1500 miles anyway so getting used to the car still. Burbles are there but not like I remember from the 2018 car I drove on the test drive. Hopefully will improve over time. Will be looking out for exhaust mods later and then a new map.

I really want to get on a rolling road to see the difference, especially as I can test it on stock to compare. Claim is 20% increase in power.

I went there with my 330d PPK a few years back with others on the F30 forum. Great day out. Certainly nearby.
