Give map 5 a try. If it boost the same or more than map 2 I would say map 2 is fine.

+1 on map5

Map 2 and map 5 should be fine with just 94 and no other mods. You will find map 2 to be more constant but map 5 may yield higher boost.

Stop guessing, run some logs and post them in the support section.

Also, bear in mind map 5 sort of has 'built in' safety measures and will adjust down if you push things too far. Map 2 is set.

You only need the item you linked to if you want to connect via bluetooth and use the mobile app (this also cost some $)

This may work for you depending on what you're using etc.

Email the guys at BMS for support / to confirm exactly what you need.

Map 2 may be absolute if using old JB4 FW. My understanding of latest FW, both positap and OBD2, maps 1 and map 2 have initial partial adaptions to set parameters that a suitable/safe for the car configuration, fuel grade and driving style.

On a stock car, I'm convinced that an adapted map 2 may learn downwards to before becoming absolute and may not yield much more than adapted map 1.

Map 5 is constantly autotuning so should be optimising for stock configuration but sometimes autotuning can be "sluggish" when transitioning from DD / commuter mode to WOT demands. May take 1 or 2 WOT pulls before map 5 is optimised for WOT....

Why do you have the idea that NOT going past 5000rpm and going WOT will hurt your engine? Is it one of those "know it all types" that also believe in Area 51 that told you that?

[Bimmer_Boost]

I wouldn't spend the money on performance modifications if you only drive carefully (never WOT)

I really think you need to better understand your car. If you hit redline every time you go WOT you are hitting the kickdown. Also, with the stock turbo there is no point in even going past 6k rpms. Lastly, the auto trans will not let you go past redline. It seems like you need to learn how to drive the car properly.

That is what manual mode is for...

if you can't WOT once a day not worth driving it with tunes lol best enjoy its stock power

[keyap]

I did not check yet what are the spec. but, i flore it , in manual mode. I think I was around 4000rpm, in 4th and the transmission drop a gear in 3th and suddenly, the engine was at 6000. Like the engine know better what is my goal or feeling.

Would something like this help?
