BMW F30 320i B48 Engine Tuning Chip
Does someone know some chip manufacturer who supports the new B48 engine in the F30 Sedan (facelift) ?
All companies i have mailed says that there only support the old engine. I am confused that pro tuner companies make ugly faces when i say the new 320i have an new engine. |

The 320i soldiers on with the N20 in the U.S., and in fact the F30 320i will probably never get the B48 (that'll be for the G20 generation). So don't expect any U.S.-based tuners to develop anything for the B48 320i.

Also - just FYI, they're not "chips" anymore. It's all software, whether flash tuning or piggyback. There are, however, some good tuners in Germany, and you're likely to find what you're looking for from one of them.

Piggyback tuningbox for the B48 Engine
https://www.cpa-chiptuning.de/en/chi...uning_2989.htm Here is another one, seams pretty serious. http://www.venturatuning.nl/chiptuni...ra-tuning.html If I understand correct the box connects to 4 sensors. I have never seen a boxtuning claim that high hp/nm increase. from 184hp-290nm to 265hp-405nm They also have a tune for the 330e Last edited by raywulf; 05-22-2016 at 11:47 AM.. |

Did anyone try the Burger Tuning mini piggyback
It is compatible on the mini B48 engine ... Would be interesting to see if it works with the BWM B48

The BMS JB4 B48 is fully compatible and offers CANbus, in dash gauges, map switching, boost by gear, and many unique and special features!

Hi Mike, I have a UK version of 2016 (Mar built) 320i M Sport "Sports Auto" which has the B48 engine. I have heard numerous people who have used JB and have overboost or turbo related errors stored on their ECU which has often invalidated their warranty and not just at that dealer but with all. Please can you provide a link to the the most plug and play version of the JB tuning box that I can use on my car without risk of errors not due to installation but how the box operates and how much cleverer the ECU is at picking up rogue devices Thank you |

Hi,
I just installed new JB4 beta - which was ordered from Mike - on BMW F30 LCI 320i B48 engine, Euro version. It works perfectly, map changed by BC button without problem, not as N20 engine version I had to get bluetooth device. JB4 beta for B58 engine written made me confused Only two sensors can be found easily TMAP MAP I also have local made catless downpipe, map 2 running impressive! I'm going to get BMS intake. |

I also wait for long time but no brand made air intake or even performance filter element for BMW F30 LCI B48 engine. At the moment, only BMS has made air intake for B58 engine, as I see on the photos I strongly believe it can fit on B48 engine, especially they use the same part number of MAF sensor. I'm ordering it from N54 and wait for delivery, will let you know result. Last edited by moonriver; 08-31-2016 at 07:21 AM.. |

Nice! I am still in doubt, JB4 or ECU tuning? BR Performance in Belgium promises around 270hp en 420nm for the 320i with stage1. They can program the power behind the buttons, so only with sport you have 270hp and comfort like 220hp.
Looking forward to your results. Thank you so far! |

Hello OP I am also an owner of the new B48 engine and looking for some performance upgrade (330i) .
May I ask so far what extra you had put into the car? For air intake I knew GruppeM had a carbon air intake system for BMW B48 engine. I am aware that Sgear in Taiwan will have the metal charge pipe coming soon. Do you know any source for full exhaust upgrade? I will love to have something outside the official M performance |

I see B48 engine exhaust muffler is the same with pre LCI N20 engine, we installed both Eisenmann and Remus without problem of fitment. But downpipe I can't find for B48 engine, there is only for B58 engine and not sure fitment.
