Nice. I doubt it’s exactly the same we have different tunes

I am loving these updates! Keep them coming!

First off, great thread. Glad you're not just out here trying to make it sunshine and rainbows. Keep with the updates!

I'm looking for an X5d right now; trying to not spend CAD15k on one.

You’re putting unnecessary strain on the engine and drivetrain with the stock 6spd. There’s a reason bmw went with 3.64 gearing in these and it wasn’t because of towing.

Do you have a link to the kit the guy is selling?

Join the NABOG group on facebook and you’ll find the guy (I don’t want to say his name on here). Also I think if you contacted Santjer performance they also have a kit available. Btw you need a f15 35d transmission to go with both kits.
