BMW 340i - JB$ Install
Hello,
Just wanted to hear if this self-install is longer or hard or shorter and easier on the b58 engine. Any links or input? Thanks! |

Easiest install from my experience. It was my first piggyback install too. Just as easy as the bms intake.
Heck even the downpipe was easy. It took one hour only. Never took the exhaust off either. |

I'm not incredible at mods and I took a swing at it and it was no problem. Just make sure you disconnect the battery. You'll need a 10MM socket to take off the bolts to access the OBD2 under the steering wheel.
The in engine compartment connections will take 5-10 min for the OBD2 leave it disconnected and feed it back through the firewall from the inside up into the engine area then connect it to the JB4. Use the pics in the install guide take your time it's a 30-40 min install even for a newb first time. I'd def recommend a downpipe and BMS intake to go with it to really unleash the tune.

The only pain in the azz is if you have a stick car, getting the OBD connector through the firewall through the large grommet. Its a royal pain but can be done with a wire hangar and lots of patience, hanging upside down under the dask, and a few scraped up knuckles. LOL
