Best options to increase M550i output?

I know of a couple piggybacks that don't really push the car that much. Have any companies began engineering performance mods or actual tunes?

Has anyone dyno'd after installing full exhausts? I've only found a few downpipe options so far with most not being stateside. Armytrix (only catback) being one of them and AC schnitzer.


Don't really like the remote, can you make it that the flaps open when changing drive modes?

I bought the Dinan piggyback. I haven't installed it yet as I need to take the car in tomorrow for updated programming. I have installed the ACS exhaust. Very simple install and sounds great, much better than stock. Look up RG Sport if you want the ACS. Bin has great service and prices.

@gotstocks , thank you for the mention.

mach250 , full exhaust system will not give you much gain by itself.
But, with a tune and catless downpipe, you will wake up the beast.
Dinan is one of the good brand, most don't like it due to mild tune at premium price.
While RaceChip, is a cheaper product and have similar or more power gain.
I've got a few customers, not G30 in particular, that switched from Dinan to RaceChip.

But regardless the tune, catless downpipe itself will give you a good gain.
Just be aware of the CEL.
There are solutions out there, just can't mention about it. EPA, DOT, and CARB been actively cracking down on it.

they can't be advertised as "track only" products? Any companies engineering things like engine internals like cams/etc.?

forgot about the CEL possibility, I doubt the piggybacks overwrite the O2 sensor like actual ecu tunes do.

That doesn't cut it anymore.
Let's see if EPA's budget got cut soon enough.

Best mod for the value is a tune ... An exhaust will only add 5-10 whp (best case scenario)
