Stock 2018 230i B48 + JB4

Anyone out there own a JB4 on their stock BMW?
What maps do you run and is it even worth getting a JB4 if the car is stock?
What are your gains?

Can't speak for actual gains but i've run up to map 5 (mostly map 3, map 5 at the track) without issue. Only other modification are a BMS intake. Is it worth it ? Yes it awakes the car a lot.

Alternative - Dinan V2

Since Dinan came out with Stage 1 V2 I have been very pleased and even though I didn't need to do it, I took it to a friend's shop and it passed CA smog. Power gains appear to be at or near what Dinan is publishing. So living in Cali you may want to consider.

Power gains are up to 40hp to the wheels (55hp crank) for a B48
gains with bolt on parts, higher octane, and larger turbos are even higher.
