According to a friend whose helping me piece everything together for the build they do, but after reading on some other forums and talking with others I think I'm going a different route. Probably HCP or DME tuning.

BMS don't do backend flash for S63. Other platforms (eg N54/55) yes.

Halim seems to have the best results with other builds, but I would suggest getting the JB4 installed and tweaked before trying to stack a S63 backend on it. S63 JB4 is less than a year old, so there's not much testing done with flash integration.

What happened to your VELOS tune?

PS - I like your 300-style 22's! Wish BMW had sold the E70 with 22" wheels...

Yeah thats the plan to get the JB4 on there first and go from there. Its hard as hell to get a JB4/BCM in California, let alone have them help you with the build. Apparently CA emissions cracked down on them and now they haven't been selling or communicating with any shops in California for 3 years which makes everything that much more difficult...

Luckily m5james has been helping me every step of the way, without him, I probably wouldn't have bothered with this build. Just not enough support or people willing to help me. Really thankful to have him as a forum member here, great guy.

Luckily a local shop who I've been going to for years was able to get the JB4/BCM ordered up for me and is getting me discounts on pretty much everything. That, plus Jame's support, is why I decided to go through with the stage 2 build.

Will probably get a ZF built transmission as well to hold the torque. Also reaching out to DSS for upgraded axles. Getting two step colder plugs so the plugs don't peter out immediately... (thanks yet again for the info James!). Also having my fab guy fab up some custom metal charge pipes with meth bungs. Meth is already unsafe to begin with so leaking issues and cracked charge pipe scenarios scare me. This will put my mind at ease.

Velos tune was never installed on the car and Velos won't let me return it... so I'm forced to try to sell it here. Priced lower then their black friday deals and still no luck. Oh well... it'll sell eventually I'm sure. Not in any rush for money so I'll just sit on the FS thread all year if I have to lol

Thanks man I love the 22" rep wheels as well! Decided to get a set of 22" forged wheels because I've always been a bit of a wheel whore with my builds lol.

Thank you for your input though, I'm always open to suggestions! Especially since theres VERY little support for this platform.

Hahaha! I've actually read that! I spend more time on *********** these days because this site isn't very active. That engine build is absolutely nuts

Can you imagine a 1500hp SUV!? No one would ever see it coming... LOL

New injectors are in. Also ordered a new set of stage 2 pure turbos to pair up with a Buger Motorsport JB4/BCM. Plus a backend flash from BMS as well. Will most likely add Meth as well once everything is tuned and running properly.

Along with m5james, I think we'll be the only stage 2 turbo e70 x5ms in the world! At least to my knowledge...

More updates to come stay tuned!
As Donald Trump would say "WRONG!", but in a good way...

Now there will be 3 Pure Turbo'ed X5Ms right here on these pages!
I bit the bullet and purchased my stg2 Pure Turbos, JB4 and BCM last Wednesday!
Just waiting on parts to come in to make it happen!

Hell yeah Gixxer!!!!

Can't wait to hear how you like it! You and I will probably be doing the install around the same time. Can't wait to get these be boys dialed in!

I saw your post on Instagram and ha da feeling you might've pulled the trigger on pure turbos! Time to make some serious power!!

Nice work guys - will be interested in having further discussions about fuelling - Methanol will only go so far, and running large amounts of Ethanol-based fuel quickly maxes out factory pumps. Not sure I've found the limit on these factory turbos yet, so will continue to push until they run out of puff.

Hopefully with more people modding these, Terry might do some fuel upgrades for the S63, including a direct-port kit with injector options for either meth or fuel.

Be careful out there fellas - in that thread above they killed a rod in a S63TU at around 700ftlbs...

EDIT: If you need any help installing the JB4 & BCM let me know - I posted a quick guide over in this thread as the BMS guides are a little convoluted.

Hey thanks man I appreciate it!! I've been meaning to edit the pics I took from XS Car Night but have just been busy as hell. I'll get some posted this weekend! They're badass and are half the weight of the 22" reps I had on there lol Those things were like anchors!
