Okay to be CLEAR. I want the vehicle to perform just as good or better than the pre-facelift models. I understand that its optional technically, however from reading through all the past discussions about the 2019+ models it seems the only way to accomplish this is with the BCM. Is that a correct statement?

18 C43
Just ordered a JB4 for my ‘18 C43 last night, can’t wait to get it
A few questions regarding installation; am I correct in understanding that the purple wire patch AND the green wire patch are not used? Also would it be easier to install the bluetooth connector prior to the rest of it?
Thanks

Since the BCM is now needed to have perforamce levels of pre-facelift can you offer some sort of bundle for jb4/bluetooth/BCM for us facelift users. Im a big fan and previously came from the BMW community and love your products, however it really starts to get costly with all 3 products needed. Thank you for your time.

Ok I just want to make sure I am reading this right (it's early and I'm only half way through my 1st cup of coffee)
The BCM is needed in addition to the JB4 on my 2019 to give me the same power that a stand alone JB4 gave me on my 2018? So really a JB4 on my 2019 without the BCM isn't doing much for me then?

For 2019+ models the JB4 alone adds a lot more power vs. factory and most 2019+ customers still only add the JB4.
But to get up to 2018 max tuned levels (those running E85 mixtures, 11s 1/4 miles, etc) then the BCM is also required.

Is anyone with a 2020 c43 or even c300 in the area of Burger Tuning? I have a 2020 C43 with jb4 and BCM installed but Terry needs a 2020 to stop by so he can get the CANbus ID correct for full functionality. I can currently only control Maps and see Boost with no other parameters without OBD connection working.

Hey David,
You have a 2020c43? How did the car responded to the jb4 and bcm? I am local in Socal and though I am not around BMS facility, I can get there within an hour. I have always considered their tuning module but with the lack of supporting data as to how the facelifted responds to it. Lastly, did you install the piece by yourself?

Def great power increase over stock. Terry has been a great person to deal with. The BCM is suppose to solve the issues with getting the facelift to prefacelift power. However, without the CANbus NOT working on the 2020 im probably only seeing about 75% of the power as per Terry. I def recommend going to his shop. He put out on N54 tech that he will make it worth whoever's while if they come to the shop with a 2020. That could only be a good thing and I would head over there ASAP. Especially to help me out! Lol

I am sorry but I forgot to mention the year of my car. I have a 2019. LOL. Installation was easy? I do not do drag race or even do roll races. I would just like more power on the car. I had always had my eye on jb4 just cause of warranty purposes (im a sucker for them). I wonder if Terry and his team can provide help with installation if I visit the shop lol

What year? For 2019+ models we suggest adding in the BCM.

Do you have dyno graphs with and without the BCM ?
Before buying this over my jb4, it might be interesting to know what's the gain with the bcm on facelift model.
