JB4 Map 1 vs BM3 Stage 1 performance numbers ?

Currently have JB4 map 1 on my stock 2016 50i, I’ve had it running for roughly 25k with no issues. Noticeable difference from stock.

I’ve been told to switch over to BM3 which seems like most users are happy with, I’m just trying to justify the $900 price tag for BM3. I’m not complaining about the price as I know a lot goes into R&D, and I’m sure the guys at PTF have a great product.

Just trying to see if someone has rough performance numbers between both products, on my end swapping over to BM3 for a 10-20hp difference isn’t worth $900, to some yes, just not me.

Thanks

Also, the car has some vibration after flashing and some knocking codes but I am in process with them and trying to fix the problem.

Stay away from this tune, it's shit for the N63.

Not sure if they had middle schoolers write the tune or if they don't have all the kinks worked out. But the amount of people who are nowhere near having smooth performance is shocking.
