just to put it out there too, although "un-dyno'd".. can definitely feel the difference between having & not having the piggyback installed. Reducing boost in 1st & 2nd gears has helped with traction & when 3rd snaps in, it hooks!

was this with just the JB4 ? The mile an hour is low but the MPH is good as was the 60 ft meaning it hooked up fairly well . What tires were you running ?

2018 C63S Coupe
like I wrote, running with JB4, downpipes, BOV and BMC drop in filters
i didn’t understand what you meant by “the mile an hour is low but the mph is good”, this seems contradictory to me.
as I wrote on the post, I’m running pilot sport cup 2, and that was the best 60ft I managed. Trap speed was a bit higher on other runs 122/123 but it didn’t hook as well on the 60ft
cheers!

No known issues on the C63S! We've found map1 works really well. The higher maps might require you to close your factory spark plug gap a bit. No different than what you sometimes have to do with more aggressive flash maps.

I might be a knit picker and a bit uninformed but if I read that right what you're saying is that this only has 1 map for now... unless you change plug gaps, higher octane etc., will this change down the road or are we stuck with 1 map/HP level for those that don't want to make additional changes i.e. removing plugs and whatever else comes to light as this still seems to be in the sorting out the requirements stage. I ask this because you stated that map 2 would work great on my base c63 with high flow cats back in Dec... with no mention of further changes required. Not trying to be rough... just want some clear answers/numbers before I decide on a newly developed piggy vs. Existing albeit pricier established tunes...

Ok good to hear! I already have Zac carbon fiber open intakes so it breathes better and now I just need to up the boost and really let it eat. Also interested in running an e85 blend if that map is ironed out as well...I could do some data logging if needed to help dial it in.

You're stating the obvious. However first post on this thread says you developed this on a c63 not a c63s, not that there's a world of difference. You didn't really respond to any bit of my post are you inferring by your response that the c63 will not have the plug issue on map 2 vs the c63s... didn't really clarify anything.

At some power/boost level the factory plug gap will become an issue. The C63S runs more boost stock, so will hit any gap requiring at a lower relative power gain. On our C63 we haven't had to touch the factory plugs up to 560whp. On the C63S we know map1 boost levels are problem free at the stock plug gap. Maps 2+ are to be determined for the C63S.

I’m also waiting on more development info on the S.
I used a JB3 then the 4 when it came out way back on my 335i and was very happy.
i’m hoping for something similar from you guys when the S is ready for prime time.

I'm getting the feeling this hasn't produced the numbers they were hoping for and may be trying to work with those that have them to sort through the issues . Usually businesses can't wait to post numbers but this has been overly quiet on all fronts inc owners of installed units

From what I’ve read & what I’ve managed with my C63S that has drop in low profile air filters & secondary cat delete, you can check my posts in the 1/4 mile thread, there’s definitely a gain in the 1/2 mile of at least 5 mph compared to my 144-145 mph runs.
EDIT...
*** Sorry but I just realized I wasn’t quite clear... I do not have a jb4, I’m stock with just air filters & secondary cat delete & have run mid 11’s @ 121-123 in the 1/4 & 144-145mph in the 1/2, so I have yet to read of any gains in the 1/4 compared to what I’ve done with no tune ***
