Thinking about ordering a Juice Plus, can anyone using one or having any experience with one on a E60 535 please share their experience. Can you really feel worthwhile results?

I really am not looking for huge power gains, just more driving fun. Will this do it?

Thanks

I was BMS's jb+ 535i beta tester. I've had it for about +/-1 yr. No problems since initial install. I've been running at 75% the entire time. I absolutely satisfied with my jb+. Love not having to go into the ecu, TMAP sensor install is fast and easy. IMO, the 535i should have been tuned this way from the tfactory. Torque down low in the first 3-4 gears is great, especially in DS mode . I am actually able to chirp my tires . Great price for the gains in performance IMO.

***depending on your 535i year and/or SW version you should consider purchasing a BT tool as well to delete manip/warranty codes if needed


***install is easier if you remove your air box, here's my DIY for it: http://forums.5serie...__1#entry900201

My 535 is a 2008, and build date was 09/07, so my ECU SW version should not show codes. Is that correct?

^yes that is correct, you have pre 29.2 SW/no tuner detection, unless you've had an SW upgrade while in for service at some point....and pm replied

nope, aside from the BMS power box...all BMS piggybacks are designed for the FI N54 engine(135, 335, 535, X6 .35)...not for any NA engines, including the 530i...sorry

If you look at what he posted carefully , it also has the Powerbox on the page mixed in with the Jb's....

On the 530i the Power box will work it give like 10-15 hp and has 3-4 different settings for a throttle booster...( like a sprint booster that is adjustable)
The key is what year is your 530i? If you have the M54 it won't work , if you have N52 you are good to go.
