I've been researching that too...I'm sitting on a Stage 1 tune now, so not too far from stock 8HP50 550 Nm torque limit. xHP has said they plan on support G-series platforms sometime this year... your suggestions on 8HP50 tunes? Another OTS out there or custom only for now?

Upgraded my Remus Catback system with Mikes Customs high flow catted downpipe. Now it’s really loud outside. And still silent inside)))
The video doesn’ reflect the real sound.

Don’t know how many horses do I have.
Current mode: 540i xdrive with JB4 map 3 + high flow catted downpipe + full Remus cat-back exhaust system.
Dragy stats below.
I think it nearly like 550i stock.

Planning install cold-air intake and MHD backflash.

Popcorn option with MHD. That’s not most aggressive level and low revs (<=2700 rpm).

Small update to mine.

I did install bmw intake (front grill shutters are disconnected and left in open position all the time. So do bottom stays open. So it dosent cook under hood with open housing air filter. - it sound decent.

It does have high flow akrapovic sport cat.
Mid section has been replaced with Remus one over armytrix section.

Rear silcener remain same (armytrix).

Tune Mhd stage 2
New hpfp pump from Z4. (Normal pump wasn’t good enough at flooring pedal). Now that wird feel goes away. (Still use stage 2 over stage 2+) only fuel available is 99octane.
Gearbox tune stage 1.

Hey did you end up getting Mikes Customs high flow catted downpipe?

And it sounds better than Remus catback?

Or is this combined. If so, can you tell me exactly what to get so I can get my G30 540i xdrivr sounding like yours?

Video can’t show the real sound of it, but it’s cool.

Has anyone fitted an aftermarket exhaust on 540i xdrive with Luxury line? I am asking because it seems that most exhausts only with m pack rear bumper?

This is sound before installing midpipe.

You can cut out resonator and intall straight pipe. I think result will be same.
What is done to this car tuning wise? Do you have burbles enabled in MHD/ or BM3?

I like how it sounds there with the factory mid pipe and Remus axle back. Is there a cat on the car in this video?
