Not sure if this thread has been started on 2addicts, but I want to start a post to see what everyone is running with their setup and what map.

I just purchased my JB4 and should be here next week. I have MPE and ER downpipe. I ordered the EWG add-on and FF harness comes with it now.

Should I run map1 or map5? I know my friends with E92/n54 run map 5 for auto tuning.

Not sure if I will run E85 at first, maybe down the road.

All depends on what type of fuel your gonna run. I'm running e35 on a custom map 6. I'm FBO with a STG 1 turbo upgrade.

Map 5 with dp and intake. I like it better than map 1 - lot less jerk when shifting

[rmshashaty]

See my signature.

[YYZF22N55]

Map 5 with DP and intake as well.

More pull than map1 running 91 octane.

Havnt tried map 2 vs map5 on 94 octane though. Waiting to put my summer tires on first.

No EWG or FF, running map2 on 93

Map 5 for daily driving

[bbbenwilliamson]

running map2 on 93 for my daily but getting some serious lag between gears when I open the throttle…. Going to see what I can do to fix this because its very annoying.

Map2. MPE, ER downpipe & BMS intake.
I'm also experiencing significant lag, but off the line.

Map 2, 91 octane no FF or EWG (though doing both of those this week).

I was using map 1, but was told by Burger Tuning that map 2 was the "base" map for the M235i and that map 1 would be "like stock".

Interesting. What octane are you using? I will try map5 off the bat. I will be running same setup, minus the intake.

hmmm. This is what I read on n54 tech -

Map Info

Map 0: JB4 disabled
Map 1: Peak boost 12.5psi, suggest for most racing applications.
Map 2: Peak boost 14.0psi, suggested for those using exhaust mods and 93 RM2 octane or higher fuels
Map 3: Progressive methanol mapping
Map 4: Stock performance, JB4 on
Map 5: Autotuning, enabled in 8.8 and later firmware
Map 6: User definable map. Suggested for troubleshooting by professionals only.
Map 7: Race gas map. Peak boost 18.5psi. Requires straight unleaded race gas.


Let me know the difference after you install the EWG and FF and what you think about it.

93 octane

Shankska - Yes, I totally agree. The docs posted are misleading.

Since I only have the JB4 - no other mods yet - and only 91 gas here, I was using Map 1.

I emailed in to find out some info about Map 1, as I wasn't noticing much of anything. I was told the following by Jon at BMS..

We recommend map 2 in the M235i as map 1 will provide similar performance to the factory tuning.

With that I tried Map 2, and haven't went back since. No knocking, etc in my M235i with 91 gas around 2000-2500' above sea level, and a noticeable improvement in performance! I'll get back to you later this week once I get my EWG wires.

Thanks for your input. Surely this will be helpful to myself and others! Thanks.

I have catless downpipe, intercooler and hi flow filter, on a 93 octane fuel; which map do you recommend?
Do octane booster really work?

Sorry about my ignorance, what is EWG and FF?
