N20 JB4 tune?

Anyone tried the N20 JB4 piggyback tune from Burger on a F20 125i yet?
http://burgertuning.com/N20_BMW_performance_Tuner.html

Or are people waiting for stage 2/3 tune?

Could you tell us your experience with it? 0-100 times? acceleration response? Fuel economy?

Acceleration is much more responsive, not sure what the time would be but the same tune on a 328i is a good guide to look at. Remember this is a smaller and lighter car also. In sport mode you definitely get the best out of it. There is a lot less turbo lag which is the biggest feature for me. Fuel economy is unchanged , I think the way you drive will have more bearing on this than the tune itself.

How was the installation? Did you followed the instructions on the web site's pdf? Is it difficult?
Thanks.
PS: It seems that the instructions pdf is based on 328i's engine, i know it's the same n20, but is it the same layout (wiring, etc...)?

+1, also got one, had mine installed for the past 2 weeks.

There is definitely a noticeable difference in all aspects. I can write something up and also post photos up if there is enough interest.
