Like the title says.. looking for a Cobb AccessPORT. I am in no huge rush, so if you come across the post and have one to sell shoot me and PM. I'll update this thread when I buy one.. so if you come across this a week or a month from when I first post and it's not updated.. I've not bought one so let me know what you've got.

When you're looking, make sure that the seller states they have uninstalled it from their car as it can only be installed on one car at a time. I've heard a few stories where the sells has forgotten to do this.

I have an access port that I absolutely love! You'll be thoroughly satisfied even if you pay full price.

I'm not trying to open up a debate here, but there are some big differences between the two. Cobb delivering more power smoothly is just one of the benefits. Just the fact that Cobb produces more power, it is going to be a more likely choice for most.

This is pulled out of a thread of JB4 vs. Cobb on Bimmerforums:
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1760852
"Cobb is an actual ECU flash which changes the timing map for the car. JB4 keeps the current timing map, but feeds in modified data to the ECU. You're left with the engine's knock sensor keeping you out of trouble and compensating for the much "harsher" data. I don't like the philosophy of that. Users have also reported much better usability and smoother power delivery under Cobb."


Here is another thread with Dyno sheets of Stock vs JB4 vs Cobb:

The Cobb was producing +12HP ant +25TQ.


There's lots of information out there on people's experiences with both. However, I've been seeing an increasing number of threads of satisfied people switching from JB4 to Cobb.

Quite the opposite for me and many others

Just research and you probably did

I've have both and for the 5 series, especially now with JB4, 15 ohmns, NOT 18 ohms, with E85 fuel, puts more power and smoother.

But like I said, I have both, Cobb is easier and has great power, but since I've moved over to JB4 and soon to the new G5 board, I haven't look back.


Also, I have to add, GREAT support at BMS, one on one with emails and logging


They're both great and each have benefits over each other

Install, enjoy and be safe
