I saw the logged video and peak torque was listed at 780nm which equates to 575tq which is more realistic. Regardless they're tweaking transmission settings, turning off the EGR, and turning off the Urea Injection atm...I will get a status today.

Sounds like a turbo diesel should! Wonder if you can "roal coal" with it haha

Been driving it for about 2000miles (not km) now on the beta tune as I needed to take it before the final EGR maps could be configured...running awesome and the sound is amazing!

Still needs a few of the EGR maps coded to remove EGR function and I need them to drain the DEF tanks and verify that functionality is good.

This is a beta tune and this thing pulls so hard now... It's targeting 30psi and it feels like the perfect power level. On a really long pull from 0-130mph it will EML on high EGT's so I want defueling adjusted when EGT's climb *(If they can adjust that on BMW's like on my Duramax...will have to find out).

I've also requested less fueling on a cold start as it smokes a bit more than I think it should as I believe it has extra fuel on startup to warm up the exhaust quicker.

It smokes on heavy throttle...it's pretty noticeable.

So far an improvement of around 3-4mpg with a slightly more aggressive driving style so that's awesome. The sound...turbo whistle is amazing especially in a parking garage.

So far so good I love this thing.

Goodness. That sounds almost as good as my Cummins did when I took off the muffler.

Just dropped my X5 off at the stealer ship for an oil change and urea refill for $300.

When is the urea delete kit available and pricing?

I've put over 8000miles on the alpha tune so far no big issues...going in for the beta modifications to fully disable EGR and some minor adjustments but everything has been working awesome; I love driving this!

Dropped off my X5 at ECUProgram for the Beta Tune.

I gave them all the recommendations from my findings over the duration of the Alpha testing.

Sim and Miguel have been nothing but awesome to work with!

Silly question - this car wasn't in SoCal recently was it? My fiancee was out in the X5M and came across a wicked sounding diesel X5 with Canadian plates. Sounds great!

i paid $120 for my oil change and the def you can refill yourself for cheap (autozone, walmart).

$300 is a total rip off!

I bought oil for $63, filter for $21 & Amsoil Engine flush for $12 ... DEF from Autozone $15 and did everything in an hour at my own pace... (at 5k interval, I alternate inbetween their oil changes) ... thats pretty close to what you paid Joe, maybe I should just take it in, maybe not lol

It was likely me; X5M was white would've been in the Chino area Would've been nice to do a boosted launch against it haha but your girl jumped the light under the bridge lol.

Hahaha that's awesome! She came home and demanded we do catless downpipes and showed me the video she took. Your X5 sounds wicked. I had a deleted 6.7L Super Duty that had a similar sound to your car. Were you just visiting or do you live around here?

Is it possible to get just the downpipe to replace the DPF and still use the factory DPF back exhaust system? and the tune of course.

Anything is possible...there are other threads on that. This is a full delete stage 2 setup.
