2012 X5d Tuned, Deleted & Wheels Refinished

[sunny_j]

2 weeks ago I installed M Sport roof rails on the X5d. I was surprised to find debris stuck between the headliner and roof

Man, I really wish my D had the comfort seats, and the HUD. Mine's pretty base, but it's brown interior at least! Also deleted+ tuned.

Crazy that there was stuff under the headliner, I wonder if it's been off before?

How was taking down the headliner? I want to remove my roof rack too but am daunted by the task.

if you go slow and take your time you will be fine. hardest part was removing the front clip that holds the headliner to the roof

About 2 months ago I bit the bullet and ordered the Android Head Unit from 4x4 shop Canada. Overall I am super happy with the unit ever since I routed audio through an USB DAC

Before


After







Some of the plastic housing had to be trimmed to clear the mounting points


Routed the wires


Wrapped any connectors with weather stripping to prevent and rattles


USB extension to arm rest for DAC

Another USB extension for my mp3s which live on a 64gb USB

Got myself a fault EMP sensor or an exhaust leak. You can see the exhaust pressure slowly build over time in a linear way in this run. You can also see how other parameters fluctuate during the couple runs I did. Still no CEL...

[sunny_j]

before with dead EMP sensor


after. the exhaust pressure is more dynamic and fluctuates unlike before


swapped out the air filter





data logging

Amazing work bro!
I’ll be in touch to retro the headunit soon, hey what’s the software you used to log ? I have mhd for the other car but last I checked they don’t support diesels

Love your truck dude
