My 335D would cruise at 100mph in 6th at 2650 rpm. I don't remember what 80 was.

The x5d is also like 1200lbs heavier and it's meant to be used as a "truck" to tow things and have payload. They drive quite different though, I find myself staying lower in the gears like 4th-5th in my 335d rather than in my x5d where I'm probably in 6th already while cruising lol. Also in my 335d Normal acceleration Doesn't need more than 1,700rpm to get going, where my x5d likes to rev up to something like 2,300rpm-2,500rpm before it'll get going like that.
Maybe I'm exaggerating but the gearing difference is noticeable. This is probably the perfect modification after deleting an x5d to make use of the power and torque you get. I'm interested to see the fuel mileage gains from this.
