    It needs to be in Sport+ to change at higher RPM. I have an X5 M50D, managed a 4.31s 0-62 out of it. Theyre beasts once tuned.

    Fantastic outcome. I’ve always been intrigued by this engine. I most commonly see the 30d and 40d.

    i just did stage 2 on my m550d and didnt remove the dpf yet before the inspection. i did turn off the egr and the tuner said the car will make black smoke when i put the downpipe. is that the smoke u said at 12:00

    Would be nice to see the boost curve, egt and exhaust backpressure over the rpm range during the pull. Thinking of a N/B57 for a boat with just a single 7163 or 7670. Dont suppose you can fit big single turbo in the chassi of the X5. Thanks for the video.

      @@DarksideDevelopments Just learnt that OXE diesel outboards now use a bmw B57 and B47 for their engines. Twin turbo variant for the OXE300, so some future boat mods for you potentially. They are rated up to 4000-4250rpm for 220kw with the power dropping off after 3000rpm due to turbo system being restrictive I assume. A turbo upgrade would be good.

    I don’t know if this X5 has it but the V10 Touareg has a sequence with the key and throttle to reset the programming of the transmission and make it “learn” from scratch the driver’s preferred way of driving. Maybe that could fix the faster than optimal gear changes in Sport mode.

No steering feel and its very light. Also very wide track for uk roads. I checked the Cayanne is almost 20cm less wide than the X5 but is still a big SUV tall and long.

      Just wondering if the readings from the Dyno are accurate due to measuring only the rear ... I think the load is different when the X is enabled ..

    Hello there! Are you using the start roller function from the BMW secret menu? Also what gear are you using on the Dyno 4th or 5th? Any recommended settings such as Sport+ or any other settings specifically for Dyno run?? Thanks

    • @DarksideDevelopments

      We use 5th gear, pull some fuses and sport Gearbox. They make the same power in every mode. The Dyno mode thing never really works!
