What exhaust do you have after the downpipes? My AC Schnitzer is basically straight piped in sport mode and can imagine how loud it would be with these downpipes. Just not interested in the idea of tuning the car for the CEL.

They have 02 spacers which would avoid the CEL. Thinks it's an additional cost of 65 dollars

Only if the wind blows at the right direction while stopped.

My F10 ALWAYS smelled, this is 100x better.

Armytrix.

Can be straight piped or through the muffler with a button, which is why I purchased it specifically.

I see I see. I just have a couple more questions haha. Does the car smell inside? Is it quiet or loud in comfort mode? How's the drone in the cabin?

Car does not smell inside. If you have windows down then smells slightly. Doesn't bother me personally but everyone's sense of smell is different

Hey guys , recently I got my m550i tuned by Jordan over at RK TUNES. I must say I couldn't be more happier with the tune . These guys are literally Bmw gods !. He really took the time out to dial my car in, and made sure the outcome was safe as well as breaking records !!.Draggy speaks for itself. 0-60 for me is 2.95 on stock 20 inch rims , full tank of gas , Flash only.

Congrats man, you beat me to it!

What gas were you using? Pump gas? Can you share the 60-130 time as well?

Wait hold on I just realized you said flash only. Does this thing not have downpipes? There's more room! And yes as the previous poster said, is it the 18/19 model or 2020?

All pump gas minus about 30% E85. I threw in a few gallons to try and let it run cooler .

Sheharyar_rr is there a reason the DME flash needs to be combined with a JB4+ piggyback? I havent been able to find great answers on this.
Additional question - any reason you went from bootmod3 on your prior vehicle to DME on the current one?

Thanks!

JB4 stack provides more boost.

^Nice, Cwhit! What are you going with for exhaust and tune? I have a 2021 myself, still waiting on the Dinan X pipe to be delivered, but can’t decide on a tune. Still undecided on a tune in general, as I don’t know how strong or reliable the motor is to void the warranty. I would most likely just do a stage one BM3 if anything, as it appears that would be as safe as possible anyway. I can’t believe how many people get a tune right away with no fear of a major issue and losing their warranty etc. so jealous of that lol

Hi,

I have a 2018 M550i with similar mods but slower times...

Upgrades:

Pure Turbos Stage 1
Catless DownPipes
TMAP 3.0 Sensors
Step 2 plugs
E30 Fuel
Bootmod3 - using Protuning Freaks

I can't get anymore than 20PSI, is that why you got JB4 to control the boost? I need help!!!

Marc
