Have you looked at the snow performance stage 2.5 kit? the controller is really epic doubles up as a boost a gauge as well.it comes in both nylon lines and braided hoses with an fittings.

I was considering their kit, bit the AEM unit seemed better built. I already have p3 vent gauge. Pricing seems similar. how big is your tank?

BMS is the best and easiest meth integration kit I've ever used. Keeping it long term to stack with a BEF, it's honestly that good.

What sets it apart? I'm not interested in JB4, so that alone kills it for me.

I need a simple boost actuated system with a baffled large capacity tank. It has to have stainless braided lines, a shut off toggle switch, and some indicator leds. The BEF, FBOs, xdi hpfp, and pure stage 2 turbo have already been taken care of...

this is my buddies set up i have just ordered the same kit. i think the quality of the snow kit is exceptional AEM is definitely not better built they as good as each other. i got the snow kit was due to the braided lines with AN fittings and the digital controller love it. the tank is the 3quart one but ill upgrade to the 2.5gal tank as you can empty that tiny tank very quickly.

I've read many people's reviews regarding the unreliability of the snow controller. It scares me. The AEM controller is simple, and I have not read one review of it breaking. I'm looking to run at least 5 gallons of meth/H2O mix so I don't have to refuel all the time. I'm probably going to buy a plastic fuel cell for that job.

It's the integrated management that coincides with the JB4's interface. I've used them all, AEM/SnowP/Frozenboost etc. and this tops them all from an end users management perspective. It has several safety features built in that most do not, that alone is worth it, for me. I won't use the JB4 for much else in the future as I'll have a BEF, but keeping the JB4 solely for meth control, it is that good.

Have you set this up yet? I'm planning on doing the same setup as you. Meth lines have been clogged for a while now and I'm just waiting for more time and better weather to get it up and running again.

The BEF? Not yet, hoping for summertime! Otherwise the system is still fully functioning as it was when I installed. Just using a meth mix now as opposed to the blue washer fluid, performs better and not all that expensive either.

Ideally, I would have went with custom map with meth. However, since I’ve had the JB4 already and I mostly street drive, I decided to go with JB4 + BMS’s BEF + their BMS WMI kit. Here’s what I think of the BMS kit so far:

Pros:
- fully integrate with JB4
- Ease of set-up with good support from BMS
- Have failsafe
- Can change to non-meth maps on the fly
- can log on the Bluetooth app and monitor if everything is working as it should

Cons:
- Sprays 100% on or off, not progressive
- No actual flow sensor, only measure voltage to pump
- Nylon hose only, no protection
- Would be nice to have a meth level sensor in tank

If I am missing anything, pls feel free to chime in

Question for you guys....what boost line are you tapping into to get an accurate boost measurement to the WMI controller ? Thanks in advance for any input (and pics? ).

I'm doing the atpturbo tap.

"FTG-QuickTap-CompHSG for boost port on silicone hose instead of compressor housing"

$18 shipped. Taps into the silicone hose on the charge pipe.

You could also try the rubber cap on your chargepipe if you're running a manual car.

Or the hose that comes out of that hole if you're car is auto

For the windshield washer idea, could swap out the sensor for this one?

Don't run it in the windshield washer tank. The tanks cannot handle the higher concentration of methanol. They leak and cause fires.

Hey what as lines are you running? Did they come with your kit? I upgraded my bms kit with DO ss lines and had nothing but issues. The lines corroded internally and plugged my nozzles up on two separate occasions.

The SS lines that I had looked identical to the ones in your setup. Although they could be different. Just wanted to give you a head up.

The way I noticed is that my tank wouldn't need to be filled as often/ just stopped going down altogether.

Just spent a pretty penny on all fragola lines and connections hopefully that solves my issues. The DO lines I was running were not cheap either. If I remember correctly they were $150-200. I think the Frag ran me just over $300.

I almost wish I just stayed with the stock plastic lines... But something about running fuel through crackable non heat resistant lines sketched me out.

Thanks for the heads up. I am running the braided lines from Snow Performance. If there was an oxidation issue, id hope they would have found out by now. Snow performance only makes meth injection kits so it is unlikely they will sell such product. Regardless I will watch the fuel level closely. 50/50 with distilled is less prone, but the 100% is pretty corrosive.

Braided lines feels so much better yes LOL, specially at the connectors and in engine bay. my friend got nylon lines and braided them himself with some harness covers. pretty savy

Looking for photos of pumps installed in engine bay.

I couldn't find any space when I removed the passenger wheel liner and bumper.

I've seen other photos of installing under headlight, but I have oil cooler there. I've seen installed on bumper support beam, but I have the old cooler duct in the way.

M235i rwd 6mt USA

Also interested in photos of trunk installs and where you drilled to make access holes for wires and hoses
