Compared to JB4, do you like this better?. Great demo and instructions on installation. I used to have a jb4 on my x3 m40i. I currently have the new g02 2022 x4m.
What??? Why do you have a "german" plate on your car @1:09? But i like it! Best greetings from germany/munic. Btw i absolutly love your chanel and DIY's. Keep going! 🤙👍
Is there anyone on here who uses this every day and still chose to use it? I see people saying the JB4 is better but I do not know anyone that still uses it. I see people sending the DME to femto more than I see these utilized.
These numbers are insane! The product description states it has 3 different map tunes. Is there one for E85? Would like to see the numbers on a E85 map tune with some downpipes. 😨
Hi Brian, I have a 2015 same exact spec as your 335i but it’s a 328d xdrive, any recommended mods for handling besides the front strut bar while keeping the oem suspension and not adding a cage.
If you have dynamic ride control, Dinan makes a Shockware program that makes it way better on street and track. I ran that on my 2015 328i xDrive wagon with ACS springs and Dinan bump stops and it was so much better than stock setup. That said, my friend’s 328d xDrive wagon had a KW Street Comfort setup set medium soft and tastefully low and rode/handled WAY better than mine. It was the best compromise I’d ever felt. That’s my recommendation.
Have you ran the same type of testing both before and after with only 91 octane fuel? I live in an area where very few gas stations have 93 and I travel enough that I would prefer not to run into that problem
I was thinking about getting one of these for a stage 1 tune for my 22 X5 M50i. Can anyone tell me how it works, does it work and is it worth the $2098?
We’re actually installing one right now on an X5M as we reply to this comment haha! We love the performance module and have a few different videos on various cars that we’ve installed it on! If you’re interested in more details of how it works or the benefits you’d gain for your BMW X5 M50i, reach out to our team at INFO@KIES.COM and our guys can help you out! And look to the near future for a video of it being installed on an X5M haha 😆
I think I will go ahead and get one then. I already own one of y’all’s obd devices I bought about a month ago. Did the full screen Apple car play in my wife’s 19 540i. Also registered a new battery with it as well. 👍
Very impressive. I’m betting a stock G80 xDrive would walk hellcats. Can’t even imagine what one with 700hp (if figuring a 15% drivetrain loss to get to the 610 awhp) would feel like. And it’s a piggyback tune? Wow!
incorrect, they wouldn't be able to sway with them since stock g80's are running mid to high 9's but mostly low 10's seconds stock 60-130 times. Hellcats are faster stock historically. For what its worth hellcats can run 7-8 second 60-130's stock. With the piggy backs it would help greatly to even up the roll racing power against a stock hellcat. A good strong "tune" and some ethanol will then walk a stock hellcat.
Not at this tune is actually going to damage the engine - but if you were unfortunate enough to suffer some kind of engine failure - even something that could have already occurred if the car was stock - but it happens to you while this piggyback was attached - even if you removed it wouldn’t BMW North America be able to detect that the car was running outside of specifications and void the warranty??
It’s got forged internals, I would imagine the engine would be able to handle big numbers. The transmission I don’t know about, but if it can handle 500hp from the factory, it’s probably strong.
The sensor beneath the water pump is the biggest PITA of all. Your solution by moving the water pump out of the way makes the process of reaching that sensor, a lot easier. Thank you for the tip.
Absolutely, if you mess up somehow and blow your motor BMW will not cover the damages, this is a bit much, unless you know what your doing or you have money to blow, id absolutely stay away. Im keeping my g82 stock
The 93 octane makes a big difference with how clean the graphs are. The car seems to pull timing based on the dynos on 91 which makes me skeptical on tuning the G80 on 91 unless it was a pro tune for a ECU reflash, or if you upgrade turbos/heat exchangers without ethanol or race gas
LOL, tunes void powertrain warranties most of the time. Dealers have to prove that your modification caused the problem, however. But, consider that if you tune it, even putting it back to stock before taking it in for service, they will know.
@@M340B58 Thanks, I suspected as much. Porsche offers tunes at their Service Dept, no hiding anything. I had two Porsches tuned by the dealership, no issues whatsoever, I wish BMW felt the same way. To BMW's defense, stock boost pressure is almost 10PSI over Porsche's stock PSI. I imagine that plays a part in it as well.
