We sell a lot of N55 JB4, it does not include dash features for the F30 yet.

I've had JB4 + DP (4" catless) for about 3 months

Works great. Many reviews (including mine) on this board.

I am changing to a catted downpipe as the smell is disturbing for me and my passengers. Its an Evolution Raceworks 3" catted unit. I don't expect to notice any performance change, but will post an update once done.

EDIT: You can switch between Map 0 (stock) and your preferred map (whichever you chose with the USB cable) using the volume control. It works fine.

I just had same thing for some reason .. Driving from the city my car went in to the limp mode .. no check engine light no power reduce warning .. but car felt like 15hp 2 cylinder .. my fan start blowing like crazy too and temperature going down .. anyway i stopped restarted the car and everything went away .. but still curious about it this is second time it happened to me in 2 months .. first time it was after i got my tune wet.. check engine didn't go away tho and stayed till i got new tune .. Now it happen for no reason.

I had a limp mode a month ago or so running Map 2. I was just driving down the road at like 40mph, not pushing it or anything. I got to a red light and car when limp like a 50hp 4 banger. I turned the car off and on and it was fine... You just have to learn to live with stuff like this when you mod...

People have had limp mode on virtually bran new stock cars. Not sure you can be sure it's due to mods.

How do you guys run logs? And are you able to select maps on the go?

Read the info on the bms forums for details about the software. In short you plug in you laptop and tell it to start logging while you drive. And yes you can change maps 'on the go' but the laptop has to be connected. Otherwise, you can only turn it off and back to the last used map prior to that. Can't cycle through the maps via the steering wheel, but that's not a huge disappointment I guess. Not sure how often one would need to swap maps and wouldn't have the laptop connected or doing logging anyway.
