As a side note, the BMS CAN tool is on sale now. This tool lets you hijack the speedo and fuel gauge to display boost, timing, temps etc. It also reads codes and will silence codes for those with catless downpipes.

Also the clutch stop is a must for everyone with a manual.

 

It claims 2008+, is there a reason the 07 isnt included?

 

What's the brake sensor update?

 

I think it's related to an inaccurate countdown for brake pad replacement. My CM has said I need brakes in 1100 miles for about 6 months now.

 

That's based on some kind of timer or use pattern logging? I thought BMWs just use an electrical connector in the pad that grounds out when it gets worn down enough.

 

You got it!! I purposely held off on this last time I was in for service.

 

I'm pretty sure that the newer ones have a sensor that actually measures the distance, and aren't sacrificial, hence the calibration change to adjust the distance for pad wear. I had this done on mine a few months ago. Be prepared to lose your trip meter from the main display (meaning that you no longer have the odometer, trip, and whatever your auxiliary info was, like temperature).

 

Can you program all of the info back in?

 

It requires CAN communications at the OBDII port. Honestly no idea what year MINI added CAN there. With BMW it was 2008.

 

How about you drive over to Simi and we install one so you can give us your feedback? I need a few local early adopters for the JB+.

 

hey terry,
i emailed you via your profile about early adoption. not sure if you got it or not. i may be able to drive up that way. feel free to email me at sfmoy29@gmail.com.

 

Nothing in my inbox. My email address is terry@burgertuning.com

 

email sent!

 

Got the JB+ installed by Terry himself. It took less than 10 seconds to put it on. It's my very first mod so i can't compare it to anything. We drove around for a bit and all i can say is that my stock MCS pulls much harder and it doesn't take long to get up to speed. I definitely like the way my car drives now compared to stock. This is how the car should have come in the first place. Thanks Terry!

 

Nope. The newer software only puts the odometer on the bottom, and your choice of secondary info up top, with the trip meter being one of the options now. I personally find it to be a step backwards. The bottom right side of the display is now just for warning lights.

 

soooo in a few weeks imma be getting the nm engineering tune. should i wait for a more viable tune or is the nm tune good regardless of what might be coming out.

 

yes, that's correct.

 

what is correct? the nm tune is good regardless or i should wait. lol

-__- hate you....

 

NM is good for a canned tune, but they require the physical ECU to tune. If you go to the dealer they can detect your tune and possibly void your warranty or at the least, overwrite it when a software update comes out. Personally I would wait for JB+ as it offers the same power gains at much cheaper price. Also you can unplug the JB+ piggyback when going to the dealer, or even sell it when you decide to.

 

Ya, so how is it for you?

 

any ETA on the JB+?
