X5FX, apparently the 2012 and 2013 X5 have some differences in the engine software management code. So far, I've gotten consistent answers from Dinan and Dinan BMW dealer.

I know about the stage 2 tune for N55 X5. However, this is only for X5 built up to and including 2012. Dinan confirmed this. Apparently, BMW changed some of the engine management codes for 2013...

Thanks for the responses,guys. The 8 speed transmission doesn't bother me that much. When I have it in MS (MD?) mode, it holds the revs long enough not to be bothersome to me. I haven't tried out...

Crap. :saad: The Dinan Stage 2 tune is not available for the 2013 X5 yet. Apparently BMW changed the computer code and Dinan hasn't updated their tune yet.

No worries. I'll see how I like my new X5 with its stock power until its broken in. If I feel the need, I'll splurge for the Dinan. I like Dinan not only for their warranty but also because BMW...

I really hope the F15 will not have similar front end as the new 3 series. The sloping front hood before it meets the head light reminds me of an elephant seal's nose. Butt ugly.:sick:

McLovin, I appreciate your comments. My plan is not getting the service or vehicle warranty. I will probably trade in or sell my vehicle after 4 to 5 years, so I don't have to worry.

Finn1969, I think you will receive your X5 before me. I ordered mine last Tuesday. That carbon black is awesome color. Almost makes up for the expensive M sport package to get this color option. :D
