I'm curious about the BMS Power Box for the N52 engine. Does it increase MPG? Does it save your throttle map settings everytime you use the car?

Thanks,

Balbs

Yeah I saw those threads. They didn't answer my questions though. However, on one thread it says that the Power Box didn't save their settings, but on the products description it says it does so I just wanted confirmation from actual users.

Hello Balbs,

The BMS Powerbox saves the throttle maps settings as long as you're still in that map setting. You can adjust this feature from the driver's seat via gas pedal stomp. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot over a PM.

We have these items in stock as well!

I fnally got around to installing the PBX over this past weekend. I was a little intimidated doing it myself but once I got the ECU wiring exposed I figured it's now or never. The instructions says that the car would have to get used to the PBX over time. I noticed the throttle feels more responsive so so far i'm liking it !

Glad you like it! I tried doing the transmission reset trick last week and turned off the powerbox instead by accident. Man the car sucks without it, I had to pull over and turn it back on
