The JB4 details ( http://www.burgertuning.com/N55_JB4_...BMW_tuner.html) are good, however, the installation instructions ( http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showpo...33&postcount=1) say the following and a LOT more:
THIS PART IS LEGAL FOR USE ONLY IN COMPETITION RACING VEHICLES AS DEFINED UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, AND IS NOT LEGAL FOR USE IN ANY OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE.
Since I want to keep my car street legal, I presume I CANNOT have JB4 installed? If so, then my only option is "Stage 1" ( http://www.burgertuning.com/stage_1_...ce_tuners.html) which does NOT have any such warnings and/or legal issues? Please advice.
Thanks for all your help! |
Its more for liability reasons on their end. You can't sue them what not for your car not passing emissions or inspection.
You can have JB4 installed. However, be wary that if you car has mechanical issues and BMW catches you with it when you bring it in to get it checked out, you warranty will most likely not cover the issue/ repair.
