X6M decreased power
Hey all,
I have owned my 2011 x6m for 45,000 miles now. I have a meisterschaft gtc exhaust. It's been a while since I last pushed my car to maximum throttle and recently I noticed that the car is under performing. It's not pushing like how it used to. Could there be build-ups in the engine, clogs or anything that needs to be cleaned out for the car the perform the way it used to? Thanks in advance! |

Hey OP. tough question. Maybe miss fires. That will typically feel like lost power in the higher RPMs especially with turbo cars.
I would have a local shop that you know of or you yourself if you want to spend te money on tool to run diagnostics while driving. Also depends on how frequently you change your oil, do a spark plug change, possible fuel injector clean, etc... Those are just some quick reference points that come to mind. |

Thank you. I will check those out, I really wish to keep the car forever and in the state it's designed to be in.
Anyone, your you, have had the x5/6m for long term? Say 100,000 miles? |

At that rate, your mileage will be 100K in about 2 more years - which is not that far from now. I think you should just take your car to your dealership and complain about the sluggishness and hopefully, they'll replace your injectors or something. Take advantage of your warranty before it expires.

Do you have any specific speed times to verify your car is sluggish? If not get some 0-60 times and compare them vs. what others have posted. There are a couple of websites that have specific 0-60 times for almost every car.. Hopefully you can find someone with your same exhaust setup... That "pull in the seat" feeling does wear off.. You get used to the speed of the car and after a while it doesn't seem to "pull" like it did when you first got it.. I'm not saying you don't have an issue with the car - I would just start eliminating things first.. And a good start would be with 0-60 times and/or 1/4 mile times. See how far off if any they are from stock, your modified exhaust options and what others have posted.. You'll soon know if you do indeed have something going on under the hood.
I'm not familiar with your meisterschaft exhaust impact to the car but the the stock 50i 0-60 is 5.2.. Last edited by MaX6; 12-02-2013 at 02:54 PM.. |
