28i tune

I know plenty of you have done a tune on your 35i. But couldn't find anyone who has done it on their 28. I am ready to buy just trying to get some feedback. Is it worth it? Pros cons? Any info would help out greatly! Thank you

I have the BMS Stage 2 and it definitely pulls harder. It will be even more worth it if I can get this damn downpipe installed...

How long does it take to put it on or take it off if you need to go to the dealer? I have a Split Second Turbo Tuner on my 335 and if you can reach it maybe 1 minute just a bitch to reach it. I may get a 228 convertible and would like a similar tune but easy to get off.

Obviously these tunes boost the hp and torque, but what do they do to mpg? Is there any effect? I have never had a tune-worthy car, so I am exploring now with the X1. Would be fun!

Depends on whether or not you can stay off the loud pedal

As fast as you can unplug 4 connections. I'd say 10 min tops. I don't take mine out for service and my service manager Is cool with it, although each dealership is different.

As far as mpg is concerned... I haven't noticed any difference either way. And if you're concerned about a few pennies here and there, I'd say your in the wrong class of vehicle to begin with.

If you really want more speed I would spend the extra $ for the 35i. If not, the 28i has a 8spd and auto stop/start and better gas mileage. By the time you "mod it up" to get 35i speed, you may as well have the warranty of an "unmolested" 35i. Just my thoughts, I drove both and they are both quick enough to not feel slow, even stock.

Wow. Never mind. Spend the $400 and enjoy.

If you are going to try and get into the 300+ hp range, I would still get the 35i. But that sounds like a good deal for an "in between" that will save a lot of $$

How much does it bump your hp/torque up to?
