Cobb Tuning reviews?

[Big A]

Nobody does a stage II for the n55 X-series, which makes no sense to me. I guess the DME's are different enough that nobody's found it cost-effective to do testing, but I would think that the stage II is just a few parameter changes on the stage one.

If I'm spending over 2 grand on a tune/install, I'd like to at least crack 400ftlbs.

COBB is really high quality stuff. I would have zero reservations about their tune.

My friend had an access port on a newer Z4 and that thing was bad ass and he had no problems with it.

I have a 2010 535i and recently installed a jb4, dci, ER chargepipe with Tial BOV (bung ready for meth as well).

It was a quick little car prior, but the tune has definitely woken it up. It took me a while to decide which tuner to go with, I was stuck between the Cobb & jb4. The Cobb is more simple in the sense that you just connect it via your obd2 and the jb4 takes a few minutes more to connect via your eec. (It literally takes 15 minutes or so to install or remove the jb4 once you get in there)

Cobb Tune

I have a Z4 35is - enjoyed it - but now with the cobb tune, I am really enjoying the car. Did install some catted down pipes and stepped up the tune - car is really fun!

In the cold weather even tried the FMIC tune - even more noticeable power and drivability - and tune is FREE - with warmer weather will switch back to aggressive 2 ST.

Pay to Play, but you will notice the difference and they are "in" many BMW's with no problems.

Check edit and call RK. Why? Because he is the best (better than NickG IMO). Cool thing is, Jordan will tell you what the best option is and I Believe he is going for the fastest 335i in the country right now, lol.

Rk has to have the ecu, its my wifes daily, cant have the car down a week or more waiting for the mailman.

Jb4 has a bunch of install work, not looking to hard wire a new ecu in... want something i can switch back and forth easily if needed. That said is the Cobb tune a pos? Friend of mine said they will do a custom tune if I drove there, would that be more worth it than the stock tunes? I dont like how they drop boost up near redline... gives good pwr under curve but less gains up top than could be achieved by leaving the boost psi alone. My gti tune was like that, it felt slower at redline than it did when it shifted. Not into the diesel truck feeling!

From what I've gathered, the two advantages of Dinan are drive ability being a full reflash, and warantee, there is much cheaper hp available. I'm leaning towards "wasting" money on the Dinan tune for the warranty alone, being that it's a new vehicle. Warranty off the table, it wouldn't even be in consideration.

Clownshoe (mad respect) and autoscope do good work on bimmers. Personally I would go jb4 instead of Cobb.

Reasons? I was gonna go Dinan, but the Cobb makes about the same pwr, has the cool handheld to swap back to stock of I go out of town etc amd cant get 93... Dinan is also 2100 vs 895...
