2012 X5d Tuned, Deleted & Wheels Refinished

[blue dragon]

Thats a lot of carbon buildup on the swirl flaps for 113k km. Here is what my manifold looked like at 118k km.

Currently I have 206k km on original active and passive tanks. Both NOX sensors were changed

From what I remember, you use the x5d to tow a boat right? Could that be the reason why you had less CBU?

What tune and downpipe are you going with? I'm not going to lie, I am s little worried about the transmission and transfer case but that's why I serviced them.

I am on the waiting for list for DWR's TCU tune. Granted his tunes cost a little more but it is worth it. If you read the thread I linked or the posts on the Facebook bmw diesel page, everyone praises his tunes. So much so that xHP is getting jealous and upping the price for the general licence from $119 to $139 and charging DWR an extra $50 bringing the cost of his tune to $175. Shame on xHP for gouging us enthusiasts

I was thinking of having AAROD do al the work and his tune. I could choose stage 2, 2.5, 2.8 depending on how worried I was about that too. On the one had I would be worried at 2.5 or 2.8, but then again I never to a dark launch from start, where that land would be the worst. No one has been able to tell me what the tranny or T-Case are rated for torque wise. I had a pretty hot-rodded Audi and was able to learn form XF directly (web searches) what that cars version of their 8 speed auto was rated for torque wise, and I just stayed under that.
