Anyone here considering tuning their M550's

Has anyone here tuned their M550?

Burger Tuning is coming out with a JB4 for our cars.

799$ for a 100hp & 150 tq increase at the wheels.

Looks really interesting!

Do you know if this is only for 550 ? I have a 540 and my future plans are probably chip, coils, and wheels.

I haven't yet but I am very interested in doing some kind of tune on it ASAP!!! Did burger tuning give you an idea when it will be availible? I have already modded the exhaust and it sounds amazing, better than the current M5. Now I just want more power.....

I took out both resonators at a performance exhaust shop. It sounds great. It pops more on up shift and pops when you let off the gas at certain rpms. It sounds real throaty in sport but still quite in comfort mode when driving normally. And there is no drown.

Just got a very disappointing e-mail from Ando@burgertuning.

I was all set to go, but I guess I'm going to have to wait a bit longer.

They want to hold off until they can tune a local G30 M550.

I heard kinda the same thing from Dinan today. They said they have a m550 on order and it going to be a number one priority once they get it. So I am guessing probably at least six months away.

If anyone who lives in CA with an M550 wants a free tune, drop by BMS's shop, and help everyone else too

Just picked up our shop M550i this morning. We will be breaking it in over the holiday weekend. Tuning should be similar to the 750i we had in the shop that just left with a prototype stage 1 tune so it shouldn't be too terrible of a wait on our end. Assuming no random monkey wrenches are thrown into the formula.

My M550i should be arriving sometime late October early November. I'm in for an exhaust mod and tune. Do you think there will be different maps for e85 and downpipe mods? Wondering if this will only be available from the jb4...?

We are all patiently waiting. Over at the jb4 forum (n54tech.com) they are actually looking for a volunteer M550i so they can work on it.

That's great to hear. It's hard to find any kind of numbers: Dyno or track times. Anybody heard of any real numbers other than 0-6mph in 3.9?

I have been using RaceChip Ultimate on my 540 for 3 months.
Very responsive and affordable.
