N54>N55 IMO and I've had both. Now the upcoming M2 may be a totally different story.

I wanna know if anyone has gone up against an M235

[LMB335IS]

Yes, but we're comparing apples to oranges. He had a JB4 and intake and was going backwards fairly quickly.

I did, both of us stock..

Differences; I weighed 270lbs and the other driver 190lbs. My tires were almost bold at the time, he had new Michellin PSS's that come stock in those cars i believe.

20 Roll
I was spinning and still was dead even, top of 3rd I started to pull away about half a car ( i was slowly pulling away each shift, I have DCT ).

We did several since we didn't have much space to run and I have to say it was a fun race but I took him everytime slightly. I know with new tires I would've easily pulled in 1st.

No races from 3rd because we were limited on space for the road and time, which sucks because I wanted to see what kind of top end the M235 had. Hands down I will never get it, I expected more from a car that has a lot less room and almost making the same power. Im not a fan of the n55 and figured that it tuned would to be more impressive, but that was not the case at all.

Hey guys i just installed jb4 in my 335is.. What is the best map to run for now ( I am stock )

Looks great! I have the same car! Did you paint the bumper all black or did it come like that?

BuraQ tune? In all honesty, I do not know why you keep blowing them, but that really could be a culprit. I've been a big fan of a lot of stuff BuraQ does and was getting ready to purchase a tune from him and Wedge soon or PTF, but after doing some reading and deciding on a different route for my turbos, I was told by a few people that their tunes have caused a couple motors to pop. My car has 67k and although I do not know how the previous driver drove it, the last 38k miles have been hard, FBO miles and my turbos still are going strong.... I've even done several launches at the track, high RPM down shifts, and just in general beat the shit out of the car

Yeah, it's plastidipped. Figured I would try it out and see if I liked the black look before I pull the trigger on a CF diffuser. Gives the brushed Cyba tips a little more contrast too.

Not exactly sure if your talking about us or our competitor. However let me clear some stuff up since fanboys and haters like to put their own twist to things that reached your ears

Prior to Wedge and I partnering to become "BQ Tuning by WedgePerformance" it was just WedgePerformance whom offered backend flashes for JB4.

During that time yes there were two engines that blew that I am aware about. All of which was running the JB4 on top of the "FREE"Wedge backend flash. One of these cars I know the owner personally, as he lives couple of blocks from me. We raced just about every week and frequented the local track.

Prior to flashing the Wedge backend flash he was having problems with misfires and kept riding the misfires that he could not get resolve, no matter how much meth or E85 he used or changed plugs or coils. He went to Wedge for a custom backend flash with more timing cause Terry didn't want to give it to him.

He went to track and kept switching back and forth between the Wedge and BMS backend flash to see which one did best in the 1/4 mile but was getting misfire after misfire and he kept pushing it.

Next day car went RIP on him, unfortunately it was Wedge' flash that was on the car when it happened with whatever he was trying to do. I got called the same hour directly from him and got the break down and also found out he was not running the proper fueling mix ,

However the BS crap spread to the internet with a twisted story trying to protect the precious JB4. At this time I only heard about Wedge and never talked to him before.

His engine gets replaced by dealer, cost $50 , couple months later blew his transmission, cost $50, couple months later, HE BLEW HIS MOTOR AGAIN ! What tune was on his car ? The JB4 with backend Flash. He ditched the car and got a 435i . So this sheds some light on what type of car and person we are dealing with. Here is his time slip he was trying to achieve http://www.dragtimes.com/BMW-335i-Timeslip-26393.html in order to set the record as being the first N54 to break 121 mph on our local track with weight reduction which was said to be not possible as its a slow track.

Now the other guy that blew his motor is known as Sammy online with same symptoms ie He had misfire problems and kept riding the misfire and could not resolve the issue. So what does he do ? He disables misfire detection . Proof ? Please Google search for the topic " She has a heart murmur somewhere " which is on another site that I cannot mention here, and you will hear it directly from the owner himself

When I partnered with Wedge backend flashes were done away with, and high advance timing tuning out the door. We went strictly COBB and MHD Flasher for flash only tuning

We have tuned over 200+ N54 cars world wide after Wedge and I partnered, and only 1 blew its turbos which was from a failed injector verified by the owner himself .

As for our competitor you mentioned, there has been reports of blown turbos with their tune. However I do not know what the cause was other than before the car owner changed over to their tuning from a piggyback his turbos already had preexisting failure from running high dutycycle ie running the turbos outside their efficiency range. It so happened PTF got caught with the short end of the stick and were blamed for it.

Also just to add. My very first N54 engine blew 3 times with the Dinan tune and it was much much more conservative. and had less timing than the mainstream tuning out there

For those of you interested. Here is my 335is laying down record for the local track to be the FASTEST N54 on stock turbos FULL WEIGHT + Driver weight 260 LBS and was consistent 121+ mph. Not a one time fluke, neither did I have any transmission slippage

Here are the slips for the back to back runs




Here are some logs of other customer cars that are N54 cars with DCT I have tuned

I do believe the E60 tune is very aggressive, this will be my second set in two weeks, and the third set under this tune. Its kinda killing the fun of the car, its fast AF though with it lol

[SCCThree]

I bought into the Wedge/BQ tune business about 3-4 months ago (335is DCT). While there have been a series of events that have prevented me from getting those guys one single log (its on me) to work on, just their base tune (on Cobb) is massively more powerful than the OTS Cobb tunes. Best $250 mod I have spent on any of the performance cars I have owned (lots) and I havent even started the custom tuning process yet. So far... I highly recommend these guys.

Once I get past the crappy weather, cracked wheels, flat tires and long business trips MAYBE I can get a log or two in.

I will be honest and say that I was talking about you guys, but like I said, it us just stuff I have read. Once again, I'll reiterate that I love what you do and have done/proven with our cars. It was more so a joke as you have already stated you can't always believe what you read on the internet! If it means anything, I will be getting a tune from you guys now that I figured out what my misfire was! Going to be emailing you/wedge here in a few minutes!

I dont have a clue who this but shoot me an email or something cause this is news to me unless you never followed up with logs etc. ?

If your blowing same bank turbo then there is high possibility an injectory is instantly failing at a a particular load. The best way to find it is pull you plug on the bank the turbo is blowing on

[bryce-o]

nice thread! I just picked up a 2013 335is 6mt with 40k miles. previously had a 135i FBO, 335i FBO, and 335i flash tune only. picked up a cobb v3 and getting a pro tune from BQ/wedgeperformance. no pics yet, I'll try and snap some soon.

my car is alpine white with beige interior. saw a chart in this thread and it looks like mine is 1 of 5 created, pretty cool!

[SUHleen]

BuraQ Do you use launch control at the track? Or what is your method? At one track when I used launch control, it would work fine besides the car spinning (obviously) and then just go (on street tires normal PSI). On another track that is way better than the first one mentioned, I dropped the PSI some on my rears to about 25-28, used launch control, and as soon as I'd let off the brake, the car would just cut out and not even launch? Any idea?

look at his stats, and then his threads made. He has a thread that teaches you how to use launch control that will work every time, just needs some practice... after you get the foot cordination correctly, this car's launch is deadly... trust me

I know how to use launch control and I've done it successfully plenty of times before. But at the specific track I am talking about, as soon as the car launched (Using launch control, after the flag came on the dash and I let the brake go), the traction control light came on and completely cut all power to the car and the turbos lost all their spool and I had to roll it out. I'll double check his threads incase I missed anything but once again, I know how to do the launch control...

My apologies bud. In fact, I have experienced the same thing as you have before. One time I was at the track when I was trying BuraQ's launch method for the first time ( at the track ). I thought maybe I missed something and didn't think anything of it... Never has it happened to me again tho, interested to see if Dimitri has experienced this as well

I'll have to try his short method and see how it works. I think part of it may had to do with dropping the PSI on the tires but when I did, I was thinking that the lower PSI would increase the contact patch and help it hook up some more. I would never go below 25-28 PSI on street tires though incase anyone is reading this and wants to try

are you currently using the stock LC feature on the IS reving to 5k and then launching?

That is how I did it at both tracks and only had trouble at the second, better track.

Bro stay awayyyyy from using that feature.. you will end up breaking something, even at STOCK power levels.. again, highly recommend only usisng the short method to launch both at the track and street. You can control how hard you want to launch and also control the spin.

My first time at the track I didn't run anything lower than a 13.4-13.5... Since then I've used the short method from BuraQ and was running low 13.1's with almost BALD rear tires. I am confident I can break the 13's now that I put on new Michelin PSS's. As you can see, the time shaved off from the proper launch is very significant. I even made a thread my self you can find and see my progress till I finally got it down with the help of BuraQ. It'll just take practice man but I gurantee you will love the car that much more once you can get it done everytime. GL bud
