But back to tuning. Im considering both the JB series as well as the Cobb flash. I may wait til JB4 is available for my N55 135i, but in the case I do go with a piggyback, is the Bav Technic tool the best way to erase the codes? I see where Burger sells their Can tool which allows you to reset codes from the driver seat using the dash gauges/lights to spit out hex digits to view the codes, but I believe thats only available with the JB4?.. The BT tool seems like it would produce an easier display to read, connecting the tool directly, Id imagine, from the obdII port to a laptop where the mgmt software has been installed. Cobb gives you the ability to erase the codes right from the Accessport hand held device. Neither the JB4 nor the Cobb Accessport are N55 ready though
I think the BT tool is a really great option and I was dead set on buying another one for this car until the AP came and I could read the codes/log. The code reading is not as nice as you just get the code number and not the description and it doesn't do CBS but I'm thinking both of those things could be remedied. The logging is far easier to use with the AP.
