X5M performance and handling mods?

[bcredliner]

Would like to hear from those that have done mods to their X5M. I am most interested in anything that improves 0-60 ET but I would also like to learn what you have done to improve handling and how you chose to lower the vehicle.

In January, I will start looking for a 2015-17 X5M.

I might end up buying a new one and pick it up at the plant. I think that would limit me to Dinan to keep the factory warranty so hearing from anyone that has gone the Dinan route would be great. If I buy used it will be one with less then 30,000 miles.

I would like to hear about HP/TQ gains and how far I can go before I have to worry about something breaking every time I launch it though I have not problem going to the iffy point.

Sorry, posted some stuff for E70. My mistake.

Does everyone on this forum leave their X5M stock? No one can offer any suggestions?

I don't get the impression much is happening with the F85 package yet. The forum at Xbimmers.com for that platform has some activity, and Burger Motorsports has some things going on that get some discussion at N54tech.com.

Good luck with your search.

I'm interested in getting Burger's JB4 w/boost control for my '11 x5m with upgraded Turbos and catless downpipes. Explain please, why Burger is shady. I've already made the mistake of buying from Omar @Velos...

And why is that? I have lots of their stuff on both my X5 and my 335 N54. They've been more than wonderful for years now. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a BMW tuner who's working harder to unlock these cars SAFELY. They're not like a Cobb who's tuning dozens of cars...

That's what I thought too... After spending $3,415 and ~$2,250 of that for my "Custom Dyno Tune" the remaining for catless DPs, last August 2016... The most I've received to date is a self admitted "Base(modest) M5 PureTurbo Tune". I have called repeatedly, emailed to the point Omar says he won't email and to call. ALL without any real support or even having one called returned... I've setup 2 private 'dyno days' to the tune(pun intended) of $550 additional without the help of Velos or Omar. Last month I finally asked for a refund several times and never receive a satisfactory response to this date. Every time I call I get varying responses ALL end with me not getting to, talk to Omar. "He's out to lunch", "he's on a plane"x2, "he's not here", etc... Each time asking for him to call me back, leaving my name and number. Which if my memory serves me, he's never called me back once. I won't even get into how bad the emails are... Yeah, I guess now I see how safe they are. So safe, they just refuse to tune my truck. I have track slips and dyno sheets to prove my claims. After spending $~8k, I've gained 60wtq and 100whp. It's pathetic... I would have been better off going stage 2 Velos, but question if my experience would have been any better.
