So....i happen to be running the JB4 Stage 2 on Map 2 plus BMS intake AND aftermarket stainless steel chargepipe (stock one is plastic and supposedly can't handle the extra boost, or so I'm told). Mine is a 2014 640i xdrive coupe, not gc.

I've been running this setup for close to 1 year now and no problem whatsoever. As im sure you've been reading it truly does feel like a totally different car. When i put the car in Sport + and S mode, the car would accelerate violently from 0..but still total control (maybe since i have xdrive). I haven't officially timed 0-60 but i might be close to under 5 seconds. When you approach 80MPH it can quickly jump to 120mph in a matter of seconds. I've opened up full throttle on my way to Vegas a couple of times and going up to 120-130mph very quickly...its just amazing how quick this car is now.

I really want to dyno this thing as i would like to know extract hp and tq...but if the bms numbers are right, you're gaining 80hp (tune), 10hp (intake) and 100 ft-lb tq...for total.of ~405hp/430tq...(stock 315/325)

No one really cares about your collection here or what you want to prove unfortunately. We do care about information pertaining to these cars/engines.

Sorry, but I suffer from Aspergers (in fact the poster child I am told), one of many things it does is cause me to just blurt out information. Social skills are not (I am now learning about that) one of my major assets as I have lived most of my life alone (other than four legged companions), and have almost no ability to understand human emotion.

Pulling the trigger on a stage 2 JB4. Fingers crossed. I don't need light speed just something a little closer to the 650. Thanks for the counsel.

JB4-2 installed today. WOW!! This is what the 640 should have been off the lot. 😀. Thanks for the advice! I'm glad that I pulled the trigger. So....what else am I missing out on?

You should look into some catless downpipes. Awesome mod to add onto stage 2 bms

Does sprint booster really work well as a performance mod? I've heard mixed opinions on this mod
