that seller is confused, he's gotten flamed on e90posts classified section as well for his misinformation. No such thing as a jb+2, perhaps a jb2 or even a jb+, either way that price is too high....a used jb2 should go for $100 if that since that tune is not even in production anymore....

a used jb+ should go for ~$160 - ~$180....

OP, if you are considering a piggyback tune...go with the jb3, if you don't want to go into the ecu and just want a little boost go with a jb+ (depending on your SW version and/or build date you'll want to buy a bavarian tech tool to delete any tuner codes). The jb3 does not throw any tuner codes.

If you are considering a flash, go with either GIAC or ESS....


GL with you mod decisions...

Will the Juicebox void my warranty? Also is it something that wont affect the HPFP? And in the end is it worth it? I would love to get 60 extra hp, any input is gladly appreciated, The things I want to do right now is full LED interior (Can I change my Reading lights to be white leds?)Tint all around, bumper plugs, roof spoiler and trunk lip spoiler.

I believe HPF is also in the works of developing a piggyback tune for the N54 engine as well...youtube hpf m3 if you want to see some of their work

***e90posts and n54tech are great resources for tuning/engine mods....

FYI I have a basically new, full set of LED interior lights for sale. I only installed some of the lights and then took them out immediately after. Not even 1 hour of use in my car. Purchased from brabusw209amg for something like $105 shipped. Willing to take $85 shipped.
