JB4 Alpha + DCT=

persian54 · 11-26-2010, 01:22 PM

Smooth

Not pushing as much boost as with map5 JB3

but it's smoother :P

Small ticker in 3rd at low RPMs and low speeds when in D and normal though, but no one else who drove the car could tell (I'm just anal with small stuff)

Love changing maps on the fly, having a boost gauge, and the shift light is cool (though in a DCT it's not really needed lol)

Just thought I'd share.

I like having the only DCT JB4 hehe.

Though the more people who get it the more logs Terry can get..

Is it easy to change maps on the fly?

minag3 · 11-26-2010, 02:49 PM

I'm a noob here, but i'm planning on getting a 2009 convertible 335 in jan/feb of 2011.

I'm hoping that by then, the jb4 is out, tested and ready for some serious and safe fun

very easy

at first i forgot which menu was for what, but after a few times i got the hang of the options i use (boost gauge on/off, map changing)

Is it installed in the same way as the JB3 or is there an extra wire for power like Procede?

Proper Motion LLC · 11-26-2010, 10:26 PM

Why wouldn't the shift light Be needed with a DCT tranny? You should still be short shifting

gt3fever · 11-26-2010, 11:07 PM

the drivability on the jb4 is way diff than JB3. its sooo smooth and easy to modulate the throttle. i agree the boost is still conservative but once it gets right tuning the game will be excited

No idea, Terry did the install himself.

Cause it's cool? lol

I have it set to where the S shifts on WOT.

But I like using M mode, it's more involving and fun.
but it doesn't matter much since if the RPMs get too high it shifts like any other non-manual (times like this I hate not having a manual anymore... but my commutes to LA remind me of why I got rid of manuals; along with the super quick DCT shifting hehe)

persian54 · 12-22-2010, 03:31 PM

JB4 ftw :P

scott135i · 12-22-2010, 07:47 PM

My mother drives a JB3 and soon to be JB4 powered 135i.... my old 135i...

And when taking the tune out for service, she left me a voice mail saying, and I quote:

"Hi, it's your mother. I didn't move so fast when I stepped on it on the highway. When are you putting that chip back in my car... Goodbye...."

Nuff said.

P4335i · 12-23-2010, 01:13 AM

LoL. My wife said just about the same thing when I took out the JB3 for service. "You're car is running slow. You should put those computer wires back in the engine again."
