Talking x5M SPORTS EXHAUST SYSTEM

Guys just noticed that Hamman and supersprint (produce system for hamman) have released the sport exhaust system for the X5m as they had previously only for the x6m..
apparently it adds 60 bhp to the 555= 615 bhp...and add the hamman engine remaping you get a total of 670 bhp...if anyone has gotten hamman or supersprint yet, i wud really like to hear the noise with the katalyst replacement pipes and all

Is a 60 bhp gain from only the exhaust system realistic though? I was told it wont matter what system you put on, if you dont do an engine remaping to custom the exhaust you wont get any extra horsepower? does anyone know anything about that?

Love your car. I have something very similar in mind, and am awaiting delivery of my 2011 X5M.

Any updates? I would like to see more pictures of your X5M.
Have you added any carbon fiber or a new hood yet? How about the tune and exhaust?

I bet its track capabilities would surprise a lot of of people. Its obviously not as light and tossable as a spec E30 or even an E92 M3 but it gets the job done. I just drove this beast on a BMW Performance Center autocross. It was the same car just driven 5500 miles in the One Lap competition.

The first thing I'd do with it is play with it at VIR.

Racer M,

Love your ride and the mods you've done to date. If you wouldn't mind, i'd love to hear how you went about some of your mods. I have a 2011 50i in black metallic with the M package and wanted to replicate a few of your mods:
1) where did you get your black kidney grill? I saw that you can order them through BMW (glossy black), but yours looks more matte black, not sure what would look better on a black mettallic car
2) how much should i expect to pay for powder coating my rims black (i got the 20 inch m package rims)?
3) How do i go about replacing the ugly amber reflectors that will come on my front bumper?
4) I'm ordering mine without the rear climate package (i don't care about rear climate control or sun shades and don't think the stock window tinting is dark enough for a black car).....what shade window tint do you have on your front and rears? I'd like to replicate it.

I look forward to your feedback so i can create a bold x5 of my own.

1. I just painted it flat black

2. I don't remember, but prob about $70-100 per wheel

3. Take them off and paint them to match whatever color your car is.

4. I have ceramic tint from TheTintPros (in Huntington Beach, CA), they have 4 stages of tint, light, medium, dark and limo and mine is the medium. Any darker than that and the fuzz will start trippin' on us in SoCal.

Hope that helps! -Matt
