Highway it gets about 30+mpg driving 60...28mpg driving 70...26mpg driving 80...22mpg driving 90.

Not a single issue, code, etc... The GSR Technik (Jailbreak Tuning) is the real deal...lots of power and great fuel economy to boot with amazing reliability.
reviving an older thread, hows the car running now ? any issues ? I'm planning on going down the same path, any do's & dont's haha

No issues! I've put like 15k miles on it. As an example of how fast and fun this thing is...I raced a JB4 335i on Map4 down in mexico from 50mph up to 140mph and pulled him each time all the way to the top and I had a passenger

very nice!
just 2 issues lurking on my head thesedays,
1- Biodiesel (I live in Chicago yeah.. where state gives tax rebate on B20 or higher, something like that.. every gas station has biodiesel for the fact.. now I found one with petro diesel at Meijer's)
2- Swirl Flap failures - these if become lose can throw the screw right into the chamber and damage engine, if you're tuned might wanna just take them out ?

I'm lucky that in California we have Propel Diesel HPR 75 cetane. No more bio for us.

Also those swirl flaps (that fail) are Europe only. By the time the 335d and x5 35d came over,we had the updated swirl flaps, they are not a issue anymore.

I drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles which is about 282 miles at an average of 110MPH and end up with about a half a tank remaining. That is about 28.2MPG with my rather fast driving. I'm sure I would get better if I drove mellow, but I like to go fast.

I have NO DPF, SCR, UREA on mine... it drives like a truck on crack. I love my 2010 X5 35D!

I have had mine modified since July 2015. I just went and did the smog for the state, and passed.... so that is always a bonus.
I call BS on you getting 28.2 mpg while driving 110 mph over a 282 mile stretch. My 335d probably couldn't even get that at that speed. Commanderwiggin gets 22 mpg while driving 90 and you magically get 30% better while driving 20 mph faster? I dont think so. Either you made that 28.2 up or you are terrible at math and calculating mpg. Or you mistyped and just meant 20.2 mpg.

I kinda believe it. May be apples and oranges to a certain degree...but I've gotten 41mpg in my 535d with no deletes on a 300 mile trip from Chicago to Detroit in 40 degree temps averaging 90 mph.

Chicagoland stations that sell D2 or B5:

Foods 4 Less stores, Sam's Clubs, Meijers (as mentioned), Mobil Stations on toll road oasis, Shell stations that sell Shell branded diesel (doesn't have label -"This is not a Shell Product") have less than 5% biodiesel per my email exchange with Shell Customer Care. A small percentage of biodiesel is good in that it increase lubricity while also increasing mileage per a Consumer's Report comparison a Edmunds long term test of a Passat TDI

Little update...put roughly 35k Miles on this now with the tune and delete...gets 28-30mpg highway and averages 24mpg mixed throughout SoCal. Put a new set of tires on it this week and did an oil change along with new front pads/rotors and new rear pads...first time I've had to do anything maintenance related off warranty. Towed a small trailer with a quad last week and got 25mpg doing 80mph. Love this thing!

Commanderwiggin, your videos that you shot, were those with just the DP & the stock exhaust or with the Full SS exhaust? Im very seriously considering the Egr, scr, urea delete. Im @ 76k miles & my CEL is on for P20EE/P2458 (SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1/ Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Duration).

Anyone have any further feedback on the BPMSport tune? Really curious, because that guy has a great reputation in the E9x M community. I emailed him a couple days ago with some related questions, but have yet to hear back.

Should probably make a new thread about that.

Malone is a good company as well, they work on a lot of diesel cars/suvs

Really popular for jetta dpf deletes as well

For anyone who's done this themselves...how on earth did you get the DPF out? I have the motor mount and bracket out of the way, everything is disconnected - I just can't get it out. Any tips?

The DPF on my 335d came right out. Haven't done my X5d yet. There are some that say to jack the engine way up. Most say to drop the subframe. Any luck?

Yeah, I got it...wasn't pretty though. Took some convincing with a Sawzall, which I'm not proud of. I removed the motor mount and its bracket, but I didn't drop the subframe. I've never shied away from a DIY project, but this one has me thinking about hanging up my wrenches for a while...

I went back and forth with who to go with for the tune and deletes, but wound up sourcing everything through Andrew/AARodriguez...the Buzzken DP/SCR combo is about the same price as most other DP's alone, so that was a deciding factor. I was pretty much indifferent on the tune, but since Andrew is also a retailer for Jarek I just went that route for one-stop shopping. Happy so far!

Yeah, I have felt like that before. More and more the older I get haha. Wife wants me to get a lift. Glad you got it out. Heard it is a real bitch.

I went with Jarek Stage 2 on my 335d and the tune has been awesome. I had to piece my exhaust together at that time. Add shipping to Canada for my DDE and it got pretty expensive. I went with BPC in NC for my wife's X5d and we will see how the tune compares once I install. I had them tune/clone a DDE and make a downpipe in February. We are hearing good things about Andrew on the e90 M57 board. Seems like a good guy, and it is nice to have a one stop shop offering Jarek's tune. Appears Andy is very competitive on parts and tunes. So... think dropping the subframe is best? Where did you have to cut the DPF?

I had to cut the differential sensor tubes off, as well the the upper mounting bracket. If you want to salvage the DPF for future use, I think you have to drop the subframe. Maybe ask one of the shops that does these installs more regularly, but I just don't know how you could get the DPF out without also ruining it.
