This thing looks like it gaps 90% of things on the road bro! How many miles do you currently have and how would you say it is reliability-wise since tuned? Did you also flash XHP trans tune? |

So the car is currently around 50,600 miles. Stage 2+ was done around 8,000 miles ago. Realiability wise, it's been fine. Oil changes are done every 5-6k... overkill maybe but it gives me piece of mind and for what it costs for oil and a filter - it's worth it I think. Plus I don't like the really long service intervals that BMW suggest on these engines. My flex disc needs changing. Not sure if tuning has accelarated the wear on it but it seems to be a common issue on the G30 as others have had it replaced soon and some on cars with more miles, both on stock and tuned. I had XHP from when the car was stage 2. I have it set to S2 but then tried S3 - I never went back to S2. I'm currently looking at hybrid turbo options and tuners who can do me a custom pump fuel tune as a starting point, for the car to be stage 3

This I still might do if I can make changes to sports mode only, since I mostly drive in comfort.
I do have the brap already with xhp stage 2 but certainly not as loud as other cars. I suspect this is because I have the high flow dp and not fully catless |

Have you noticed a difference in performance going from stage 2 to stage 2+? Also, have you noticed a difference from stage 2 to stage 3 with Transmission tune (XHP)?
My current setup on a 2018 540i M sport High Flow catted downpipe M performance muffler Resonator delete BM3 stage 2 at 93 octane XHP stage 2 I have a B58TU HPFP sitting in my garage waiting to install but I was told it doesn't do much if you don't plan on switching your fuel mix. 93 octane is just simpler in my opinion just dunno if it's worth going up to stage 2+ and stage 3 XHP |

I've got a new 5" Catted Downpipe from Osprey that I'm going to put on soon. Heard a lot of good things about them so wanted to try it out.

Please let me know how the fitment and smell is with the Osprey pipe. I went with CG DS-1 it smelled awful and fitment wasn't there (it leaked) at the midpipe due to bad fitment.

That's what I figured. But I read some threads of people installing intakes and it makes the car sound better but too many mixed reviews with hot air I decided to just stick with OEM. Are you planning on upgrading the turbo anytime soon? Are you also running 93 octane?

I too have a 2017 and was wondering how many mile you currently have on your car. I have 104K on mine. I have done a stage one and on the fence of going stage 2 and concerned about reliability. |
