New X6 50i owner. Suggestions?

Hey people,

I'm looking to mod my 2011 X6. I bought it on ebay from a dealer in Texas with only 13k miles on it for $49,000 (i live in NJ). Perfect condition! Definitely a world of change from my Infiniti FX35!

I want to start off by looking for a good quality ECU tuner, quality sounding exhaust system, and blow off valves to replace the stock ones. I am not so much interested in adding a huge amount more of power, just want some quality upgrades to improve from stock.

I would very much appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

BOV are turbo mounted so they are not swappable.
Burger tuning makes a piggyback tune for the 5.0. pretty sure its the same as the x6m but there are a few tweaks done via the USB cable.
arent many exhuast options for the 5.0
there is Meisterschaft, or you can buy an x6m aftermarket exhaust and custom do the tips to fit.

I have an ESS "tune" on my 2014 X6 5.0 and I love it.

I also have a meistershaft EV exhaust (quad powder black tips, and wireless key fob thingy to silence it - if I feel so inclined, and I never do); If you go down this road get an X-pipe installed. I had a custom one fabbed, prior to the fab I was about to remove it - it had the most horrible left/right bank popping sound, now it just sounds fantastic, makes me smile every time I stomp the loud pedal.

BMS has a Stg 1 plug in - good for about 35whp and a Stg2 beta good for about 60whp.

Lots of folks are running these and the price - about $350 for each stage is a no brainer.

I have been running Stg 1 for over a year. No issues.

Does Dinan still make an x6 exhaust?
