Benefits of JB4 Map 6 Tuning:
1. Full Custom Control by RPM
We can control boost, fuel bias, and duty bias at each 500 RPM interval
Enables precision tuning for your exact fuel, mods, IAT behavior, etc.
Can shape your powerband to match your turbo’s efficiency curve or torque limits
2. Built-in Safety Layers Stay Active
Still uses factory DME knock correction, throttle intervention, fuel trims, etc.
You can’t blow the car up with just bad boost targets — the DME will still protect it (to a point)
Boost failsafe acts as an upper safety net
3. Perfect for E-Blends or Custom Fuels
93, E30, E40, E50, race gas — you can fine-tune the map for different fuels
Adjust fuel algorithms and boost pressure to extract more timing safely
Lets you safely run stronger and more consistent than generic maps without flashing the ECU
4. Adapts with Hardware
If you add a downpipe, intake, port injection or intercooler — we can update the map 6 to fine tune
Unlike Maps 1–2, you're not locked into a predetermined set of assumptions or algorithms
What Driving a BMW with a Well-Dialed NXTGEN Map 6 Feels Like:
1. Stronger Low-End Without the Lag
Map 6 can boost 2–3 psi earlier than OTS maps with the right duty bias settings
You feel the car move instantly at 2000–2500 RPM with no lag or delay
Perfect for daily city driving, stoplight jumps, and early pulls
2. Midrange Power (3000–5000 RPM)
Boost hits hard, torque is immediate
This is where a well tuned Map 6 starts to feel way stronger than Map 2 or 3
3. Cleaner Throttle & Less DME Intervention
You don’t get that “blip” of closure or hesitation when the DME freaks out
JB4 is tuned to stay within torque limits, so throttle stays open
Results in cleaner pulls, even in multi-gear WOT
4. More Consistent Timing (Especially on E30–E40)
Custom boost taper up top helps keep ignition advance stable
Less knock = smoother, safer power = more usable HP
5. Better Multi-Gear Pulls
Off-the-shelf maps can feel jumpy or throttle-y when going 2nd–3rd–4th
A dialed Map 6 is linear and composed, especially with xDrive or hybrids
A NXTGEN custom map 6 is smoother, stronger, more stable and consistent versus off the shelf maps, for a more flash tune-like feeling.

There it is…
The S58 is always talked about as such a powerhouse, but after my break-in service I was honestly a little underwhelmed. I wasn’t ready to FEMTO a new car, so after a bunch of reading, I went with the JB4 over other piggybacks. The car was smooth and had more pep, but I was still hoping for a little more. I started seeing that people with the best power and times had map 6 tunes. So i looked further into it, but didn’t have the knowledge to mess with it myself. I was looking for a place, but it seems like a lot of these map 6 tunes are done by individuals. I was hoping to find something a little more professional and eventually found NXTGEN. I am glad I did, as the service and the results are top notch. It’s a different car now and exactly what I was hoping for on E30.

Wow
I was running both map 3 and map 5 with E30 before having NXTGEN Automotive make me a map 6. I found map 3 was the most powerful and I had my best times. Map 5 was better for daily driving on the street, as it was smoother and more torquey. The car is smooth, powerful and it takes the best of map 3 and 5 and combines them, then ups it a notch. They strongly recommended a transmission tune, which I did and the car is insane now.

Noticeable improvement
The JB4 definitely woke the car up and this really woke the JB4 up. Thank you guys for the great service!

Great Experience
I had a great experience working with the NXTGEN team. After purchasing the map 6, they promptly reached out and asked about my vehicle. They then sent a detailed and professional PDF explaining the process and what needed to be done. I heeded the advice about adjusting the spark gap and having a transmission tune before the JB4 tune. Then I adjusted the JB4 and did some logging as instructed. After I sent in the logs a few times for some adjustments, it is a different car. This was some of the best money I spent on my vehicle yet, it is wicked fun now.
