Got my Jb3! About to take for a spin

Beta tester here....got my Jb3 installed, about to take it for a spin

Install was a breeze, Terry was helpful with some questions I had, just trying to be extra careful

edit: 6/08 build date, v81, downpipes + intake, steptronic

What is with the tease? We the people of e90post.com demand a road report!!

Ok, I can't speak for anyone else but it sounded legit there for a second...oh, maybe not.

Congrads bro - good luck and let us know how it works!


Peace

no check engine lights, letting the car warm up

so far so good, had to set the clock back because disconnecting the battery cleared it....pretty easy to fix

I thought MSD81 +JB3+downpipes was a no-no?

Only if you care about your warranty.

car feels GREAAATTTT, I'm running v81 w/ downpipes, terry said do so at your own risk, but no CEL's so far, just lots of power and pulls so smoooth

Took a few miles for my system to adjust after the ECU reset, but the car feels oustanding, I couldn't be happier

Thanks Terry!!!!!!

It isn't going to throw any CELs... It will be a hidden code that the dealer or BMWNA will see and tell you to take a hike.

People like you come off weak and paranoid... When BMW says theres a hidden code on your car and your car has stock DP's and ECU you can tell them to eat your pee pee as if they dont have proof of modifications they cant do a damn thing... Hidden code can lick my anus...People are so scared of propaganda...

I am so envious of everyone who's gotten their JB3's already. I missed the email and didn't order mine until late that night so I'm sure I'm in for a bit of a wait. Glad to hear you like it, I will have to live vicariously though all you beta guys for now..

Its not a "hidden code" it has been verified several times that it is a CEL

I could care less about my warranty... I was correcting what was being said.

And what you said is untrue. If they see the code and look at your data... You would have obviously done something to throw it. Reinstalling stock parts after the fact does nothing. BMW wouldn't care.
