The JB3 is considered Stage 1 for the N55, you can adjust the settings if you get the USB cable for it but it isn't included.

I also have the JB3 in my 35i and it's great. Easy install like you said once I tracked down the connectors. I found for the X3 only using 2 of the 3 plugs worked best. I put mine near the cabin...

Yes, I did that. Ordered it from my dealer here in AZ, then flew to SC and picked it up from there and drove it home. It was a blast, I would definitely recommend doing it if you can.

Germans don't know what A/C means, all of my german vehicles have been lacking. I had a 2000 GMC and that thing would grow ice on the vents.

The X3 drives like a sedan when compared to other similar SUVs, like the Audi Q5 or GLK. While nice vehicles, compared to the X3 the BMW feels like a real sports car even if it isn't. Compared to...

From what I remember on mine you just release the lever by pulling it down, then you turn the lever itself, no hex screws to mess with. Then it just pulls right off.

It seems like even with this set to zero, you still need to hold the lock button for a hair longer than just pressing it like normal to get them to close. Is this the same for you? Anyone know if...

I don't have any factual information for you, but I would imagine the extra torque in the 35 would make it nicer to tow with.

If the A/C compressor needs the engine running to keep up it won't shut off the engine, which is by design.
