Are you doing your runs in D or D/S mode(full performance here!)?
Bmw claim for the 2004 > 3.0 Diesel,0-100=8.3 but this is on 235/65/17 tyres
and I am not sure if this isnt for the Manual!Netherless,your 9.6 is way off!I know you have bigger wheels but theres still a big difference!
Could the 4.4 mufflers be slowing your car down?I am just trying to help because you sound disappointed and I am appreciative of your feedback.
The main reason why my exhaust project is taking longer than I wanted is because I need to open both mufflers(3.0D and 4.8)and study/change the internal piping to ensure that it isnt obstructive.Like you and a lot of us,we all want to have our exhausts exposed and our primary objective is not to gain power but not to LOOSE any!....
How do you compare the performance of you new X5 with the other one you had??....In theory a 184 bhp x5 "tuned" should have +/- the performance of a 218 bhp 2005 model.A 2005 "tuned" should really fly........THANKS for the feedback.
