DPF/SCR/EGR Delete Completed

[JohnStoj]

Folks,

I just had my shop do the DPF/SCR/EGR delete last week. I bought all the parts & the tune from AARodriguez.

I ended up with the Stage 2 Race:
BMW X5 35D Performance - 2009-2013 JR AutoTuning

Frankly, I am not sure why I got the Stage 2 and not the 2.5, but either way, it's totally worth it. It wasn't cheap. In addition to the parts, my shop charged me 22 hours (including a oil change, but still). I was a guinea pig for them a bit, and I knew that would be the case, so be it. Your shop may go faster for one reason or another.

It really is like I got a new truck at 90k miles. The throttle response is night and day, and the turbos sound awesome, while the overall sound is "throatier," it isn't much louder than stock.

Cold starts after sitting overnight generate a bit of blue smoke, but nothing on warm starts during the day. There's a slight diesel smell, but not off-putting to me.

I'd do this upgrade all day.
