Anyone running an ECU upgrade on the X5 40i?
I know must of us are just getting used to or still waiting on the arrival of our cars.
I test drove the 40i prior to ordering mine and there was plenty of power. However, I am coming from a F80 M3 and I confident I am going to want more power at some point. I have started researching options and it looks a bit limited. Albeit the B58 engine has been out for a few years and it looks like some tuners just need to update their marketing material. However, I am curious if anyone is running any ECU upgrades on the X5 40i? It looks like there are a few options: Race Chip https://www.racechip.us/shop/bmw/x5-...-365lb-ft.html Burger Tuning http://www.burgertuning.com/B58_JB4_...nce_tuner.html |

I'm considering the Racechip as well but waiting for reviews. After reading the reviews on the X3 forum on the M40i same B58 engine, my thoughts are mixed if it's worth the money or not. |

Can you post links to those reviews please? I’m curious now... I also thought our engine was different than the one in the X3....

I am also coming from a M4 and have both JB4 and bootmod3 in it. Originally plan to wait for M50i but since I want something comfy and will not be ticking DHP or Adaptive Suspension Professional I am going for B58 and will JB4 for sure. Cel

I have in my `16 F15 both the BMW MPPK and Perf Exhaust!! I love both and am eagerly waiting for official announcement/release of MPPK and very imp the Perf Exhaust for either engine. Really hoping for the M50i release, fingers crossed.

If you guys ready for RaceChip. I am just a PM away.
I have been using it on my G30 540i for 2 years now, and been a popular piggies in F15/F16 X5 (all 3 engine variant), F85/F86 X5M/X6M, and F90 M5. Not sure what is going on in X3 M40i forum, I have sold a few to G01 X3 M40i owners too.

Racechip claims +60hp for around 700 or 800 bucks. But it also voids any warranty.... right? |

1 year for RaceChip RS and 2 years for RaceChip GTS / GTS Black. They currently don't offer that in the US or Canada.

For sure a few are from mission. I can't imagine what that V8 will do in the X5, probably more than most people can handle in an SUV

I wonder if this Dinantronics tune would work on the B58 in the X5. I've reached out to Dinan to ask

How long does it typically take for anyone to come out with something?, even if its just an air intake? Thanks a lot for the help! |
