BMS stage1 vs jb4

strig1 · 07-02-2014, 07:58 AM

I know this is asked a lot but i cant find the exact question I need the answer to. I plan on installing the tune and keeping it on 1 setting the entire time. What will be the HP/Torque difference between the 2 tunes on 93 Oct gas. I don't plan on using the e85, and difficulty/ time needed to install isn't really an issue. Thanks!

If you look at BMS' charts on their site or the other forum n54 tech you'll get your answer. On a 320 the difference is about 50 hp and torque, can't remember of top of my head exact numbers but definitely worth the extra $175. But it's rather easy to find on their site or on the forum.

I have been looking for the same thing. Some people say it's worth going to stage 2 JB4 others say they don't see any difference from stage 1. I may upgrade to see for myself.

@DS_BMW, it is worth to go Stage 2. Most people felt the difference on the Stage 1 since it is more rough, so you feel the kick more.
But, the Stage 2 has better control of the car, so the power gain is more smooth. With additional mapping and access to the CAN, it is worth the upgrade.

I started with Stage 1 on both of my F10 and F15, then after a switch to Stage 2, I never wanted to go back to Stage 1.
