Was this with the BM3 tune at 91? Or stock

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

This was with the BM3 at 91 stage 1

@@eddiemcars, Roger that. Have you tried a more aggressive 93 map yet? Any real gains?

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

@@TheLemps2012 I considered trying the 93 tune and adding some unleaded race fuel and running another test. Do you think there’s a benefit?

@firstclassaviation8577 3 года назад

Just a quick tip: when you launch wait a little longer before letting off the brakes so the turbos have more time to spool up

@georgecostanza2695 2 года назад

FYI, M cars look for engine and transmission oil temps to be within normal operating range before it will allow launch control… won’t engage if it’s too cold or too hot. But with the F85 using the ZF auto, it’s torque converter being a fluid coupler is not “dropping” a clutch like a DCT or SMG would… so aside from the driveline shock, wear and tear on the tranny is negligible. Any accelerated breakdown of the transmission fluid caused by frequent use of launch control can be easily remedied by preemptively changing it.

Awesome video! Just got a 2021 X5M Competition Edition and this was a great explanation. IM assuming you want to wait until after 1200 mile break in service to start using LC?

@eddiemcars 2 года назад

Congrats on your M! That’s correct! Wait until the break in service is completed!

@josephpena9528 3 года назад

I also have a F85 and I think you would get a slightly better time if you let it built boost for just a little longer. like 1.5 secs longer. anyway good video and definitely the most fun suv out here. bet value for money too in my opinion

@mach51 3 года назад

Thanks. I have yet to get mine under 4 seconds.I'm a little uneasy about mashing the gas though. I did setup the M2 button to all of these settings so I had quicker access at the stoplights.

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

From my experience, it launches great the first time. If I try to launch it again with the cool down, it doesn’t launch as hard.

@christowndotcom 2 года назад

nice bro! Just sold my E70 X5M. Miss it. want to get an F85 now

@JerseyNinja Год назад

Mileage? How much did you get for it? I have a 2012 with 38K miles and am considering selling it. Also have a 2 year transferable warranty to add to it.

@stanleydamis1158 3 года назад

I've watching for awhile and I love the x5m but what's your take on the x5 45e ?

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

I’ve been curious about those! I have zero experience with it but I believe you get the best of both worlds. Fuel economy and power of a 40i!

@stanleydamis1158 3 года назад

@@eddiemcars your definitely right about mpg but the idea of having 2 turbos 🤤 on it (425hp instead of 394) im waiting to see what they do with the x8m that's coming

@smartyin 3 года назад

so in launch control mode, the transmission will shift by itself at manual mode?

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

That’s correct!

@justinrichmond8316 3 года назад

@curryandroti1 3 года назад

Have you thought of installing Xhp Flashtool for the transmission? I did it on my F86 with a BM3 stage 2 tune and it not only protects your tranny but with customization of the settings it will transform your car from beast mode to savage mode.

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

Someone else on the channel mentioned this too! I always assumed I didn’t need it. Maybe I should check it out! What do you like the most about it?

@curryandroti1 3 года назад

@@eddiemcars It can increase the transmissions Line Pressure by approx 15%. In addition you can customize launch control and shift points. It might sound crazy but I feel safer with this trans tune installed especially when the engine is tuned for increased HP/TQ.

@eddiemcars 3 года назад

Thanks! I may have to give that a try. I notice it doesn’t launch as hard the first time, I wonder if the transmission isn’t clamping down like it should.

@curryandroti1 3 года назад

@@eddiemcars Subjectively it does feel a lot stronger but I have no objective data to back that up.

@christowndotcom 2 года назад

Bro. Finally got a new(ish) X5M. Heres my inititiation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BroM3CgqlZo.html My Launch control didn't work that time tho! It didn't shift into 2nd. But sometimes it works, sometimes not. I see the checkered flag on the dash so I know for sure I'm in launch control mode, but it just randomly doesn't work sometimes. Any idea why?

@eddiemcars 2 года назад

I’m not sure. My M3 was like this too. Inconsistent launches. Sometimes it would spin the tires through 3rd and other times it would hook and go. Thing to make sure. Manual mode(it will shift automatically) Make sure your foot stays on the gas pedal past the resistance point (should feel a button under it that’s called the “kick down”switch) If you lift off.. even slightly, it will automatically cause launch control disengagement.
