I've got mine and I scoped out where all the connections are last night, waiting to get my first service done before putting it in though. Hopefully soon.

All of the connections seem to be accessible from the top. The charge pipe sensor looks a little awkward to access but someone on the n54tech forums said they were able to get it connected by just removing the air box so I don't anticipate needing to lift the car.

It knocked our X4M from low 12s to high 10s. Definitely a lot of tuning potential with it, I can't wait until the all wheel drive G80 models start turning up.

That would be ideal but we could be looking at 2 years at least.

If it takes them that long, I will have to figure something else out. EuroCharge in Toronto is willing to do a custom tune for me but I'd imagine that would be pricy.

Nobody can do a custom tune because nobody knows how to break the new ecu encryption, JB4 or another piggyback is your only option. Maybe it will be broken in the future but this is a new level of protection that has not previously been seen.

You might be right. They told me the first have to get into the software "to see what can be done".

They're doing really good numbers with nice looking graphs with the jb4.

I think we'll be happy with it for now.

I'll be going full e85

Careful with Eurocharged. My M2 group in Toronto strongly advised me against dealing with EC. I was about to tune my Porsche with them and they made me aware of a lot of issues with the 43/63 AMGs they dealt with. Not taking a chance personally.

If I'm reading this correctly, its baseline, 91 and JB4?

That's a shitload of torque

Baseline, JB4 with 91 and JB4 with E50. On an X4M.

Not to be totally clueless. Can these cars run E50 without changing injectors, runners or fuel lines? It was a big ordeal in my son's STI that is running straight E85.
