My buddy has one and after replacing the dpf, scr, egr cooler, and seeing the 1/4” build-up in the egr, tb, and intake manifold, decided to get a proper tune to delete all those points of unreliability.
As an American with a 2016 535d this video was of great interest to me! Especially since I wasn't sure how the jump to the 28 turbo would affect it but. Seems like a fantastic combo and I already love how this X5 sounds I can't wait to hear it with a cam! Are you upgrading it to Piezos?
@@DarksideDevelopments Sounds like the US version already came with a different ECU than the Euro 30ds? The fun stuff always takes a bit of extra effort doesn't it?
I have a US spec 535d and the ECU is different than the ecu in my f15 x5 in the video here. I have the same turbo that i will install on 535d too, that will be later in down the road.
How much does something like this cost to upgrade to this? My 2015 bmw x5 xdrive35d is also US spec as I'm in Canada. So far I got the delete and stage 2 malone tune, Makes about 335hp and 545lb-ft. What would your recommendation be for the next step? Just did 1/4 mile last night at the track in 13.995 seconds.
Can we get a dyno vid on this car? I spoke to the owner last year about the modifications he's done, specifically the turbo upgrade. I'm really curious to see more on this car!
Currently have a 2012 x5 diesel in American. Doing stage 2 turbos, r90 cp3, bigger injector nozzles, intercooler, catch can and a few more goodies. At this point I don’t need to start breaking T cases, axels and driveshafts, so I’ll probably end up rwd converting. I’m currently looking for a tune and I’m not sure what stage to go for. Anyone have ideas what the awd system can hold for torque?

Remember it is a diesel, doesn't get that higher end power as gas engines, plus the aerodynamic on a large vehicle needs even more power at high speeds. Seems pretty right ✅️
If he's stationed in Germany, wouldn't he have been better off buying a German car in Germany? Rather than buying an exported one then shipping it back half way round the world? Or have I missed something or had too much rum?
FWIW - the US military is the one that pays the bill to ship members cars around the world and back to the states. (Old post, but thought it was worth the comment for anyone that might come across it)
Maybe because the quality is definitely radio background so it's a bit more lenient? Not sure. We upload the video and TH-cam carries out checks and if there is a copyright then we know about it before the video goes public

It's not that simple, the ECU is totally different with Piezoelectric injectors

535D only by name. You've a 530D in reality.
@@DarksideDevelopments please send your contact I am interested in your tuned I have the same car
Stuttgart number plate, noiiiiice :D
It sounds amazing and goes like the clappers
Aye most folk don’t know that X-anything are primarily RWD until they go off road….. onto the drive 😂
Worth a like purely for the steering wheel caption 😉
That's a quick mid-sized SUV for sure

Next step is Cams soon! We will be doing another video
@@DarksideDevelopments please do! I have an x5 35d with similar mods. I've shared your video so many times lol
what exhaust is this? just a straight pipe dual tip?
I believe so, this was already on the car when it came in to us.

Clean Lambda, very nice.
You said that a UK version was having problems aswell... care to explain?
Boost issues with big turbos
A 12 second quarter mile in an x5?!😳 Mental… What turbo comes on these engines?
Whoops, I missed that it had a 2872 installed.
Mine with only tune do 13 sec ….1 second for 10k$
What kinda MPG impact will there upgrades have
Not really something we look at when tuning but it would still be pretty decent mpg for a fast SUV
I have a 535d would this type of tune work for me?
Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we can take a look for you
Hi, I have 2017 ,35D sport . I live in Canada, can you help me with to tune like this?
Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.oc.uk with your vin and we can see if we can tune it using powergate for you
Is this the Max out of N57?
No, we can get more after fuel system upgrade and cams
How you guys tune from stock to 400hp+ 😮😮😮
Can you make my American 2013 Touareg have launch control and popcorn tune?
Possibly! Send us an email with your VIN number - sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk
We have twin turbos too!! I wanted one but went with a Touareg cause tows my 24ft race trailer😂 will be ordering some delete parts shortly :)
Put the video in 1.5x speed
Good for you!
How do I know if my x5 has a single or twin turbo?
The US spec models have single turbo where as the European market got twin
There's no way it sounds that good with the dpf in
Who said it did?
@@DarksideDevelopments it was an assumption as you only said egr off in vid
Can't beat a bit of Tone Loc.......
Surprised it didn't get flagged by TH-cam! Mathisse needs to remember to turn the radio off in future
Does this have the upgraded fuel pump from the 50d ?
Not at this moment but soon!
@@DarksideDevelopments I have this exact x5 in the states. How would I got about getting it tuned by you guy's?

Damn, that 100-200is sloow. Is that right or a typo?
It's a massive SUV
@@DarksideDevelopments but its got massive torque to go with it. Was expecting more i guess, based on the great 0-60.
