jb vs active reflash?

1st, active autowerke flash is like 2x as much. lets exclude that for a second.


I'm new to BMW. I've had Audis forever and am much more familiar and comfortable with their tuners....

A tuner (porsche) nearby that does dyno tuning of a lot of porsche, audi, bmw cars metnioned seeing the JB tune run a bit lean on the AFR. Wanted to get the community's feedback on this. Active is certainly more money, and my car is leased so I shouldnt really care that much (i'm sure it'll last on a slightly lean tune for a couple years), but I'm wondering if anyone can comment on which runs better or if anyone here has even tried the Active N55 tune?

Thanks guys.

The JB comes with a 14-day money back guarantee so you may want to order one and try it to see what you think yourself. Sometimes thats the best way to evaluate a product. Can't comment on the active flash but I have many, many happy N55 JB customers

Thanks Mike,

I'll give it a shot... I found it on your site but still have little idea what I'm looking at. Can you give me the full n00b rundown?

Sure, I would order the Stage2 as it has all the cool CAN Control integration and map changing. You basically have full control of all the features, (dash gauges, etc.) from the steering wheel, along with map changing etc.

Comes with two main built in maps (map1, map2). Map1 is meant for mostly stock cars, and map2 is for 93 octane and cars with downpipes and intake.

The one major advantage of the JB versus any flash is the cool dash features and dash control and map changing abilities. Its pretty cool once you use it.

We have them in stock so just PM me when you order and I'll get one out to you ASAP. Usually only takes 1-2 days to arrive.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need some explanations.

Mike
