X5 N55 Burger Tuning Stage 1

Hey guys, I just ordered Terry's tune for the X5. Anyone here who has installed this? Installation guide only shows F10 and no pictures of the E70 at all. Thanks!

Interesting product. It's so much cheaper than the Dinan upgrade!

No one?

Did you verify what TMAP you had i just looked at the website. I have a 2013 X5 35i considering this upgrade do you know of anyone else with the tune or you just trying it out?

I know someone who has it. Also take a look at the folks with F10s. Same tune.

My TMAP is type B

Im almost in the same boat as you, please keep us updated on how it works and the install

by the way: hi everybody Im new to the forum

Let us know your results and opinions. I'm on the fence with a flash or a piggy back option...

Thanks

I am also however with the piggy back option you can sell it when you get rid of the vehicle and also remove it for warranty puposes if something should occur. I like the flash option if i was keeping my X5 but its a 3yr lease and spending 2,000 on a tune and not getting any money back from it seems steep. Your thoughts ?

do keep in mind that in the event of a major engine or trans failure, BMW can interrogate the DME and can find evidence the engine was operating outside of the normal parameters. Yes, you can clear codes but you cannot clear this history.

Low probablily of such a major failure, but just saying.

Worry not, our CAN Tool or a BT cable can delete any traces of hidden codes in the unlikely event such codes are thrown.

RE: Install, just follow the directions in the PDF guide. The X5 is the same as the F10 as far as the install goes. It's 4 connectors. Simple stuff here.

Terry- Tell the whole truth...you seem to be addressing my comment with a half-answer: You cannot erase traces of operating parameters that are outside the limits allowed by an unmodified DME.

Correct? Just a straight, honest answer. If you can clear this history, please tell me how.

I am not talking codes and shadow codes, i am specifically talking about operating characteristics that might be stored immediately prior to a major event.

Thanks!

Im too late......

I could be the second choice (just in case)

I'll volunteer too!

I'm the lucky tester that received the piggy back setup! Terry said the typical install should only take 15 - 20 minutes, so I'll pull out the SLR to document the entire process.

I think it's fair to Terry if I provide both a short term and long term review of his product, so please look for my impressions in a few weeks

My M3 won't get anywhere near the performance increase with $400, so I have to say, the turbo BMWs really do offer amazing power potential.

I'm going to install this on Sunday and will report back

Did you get it on your X5?

how does it runs now?

Nice pics but you took so many your making it look alot more complicated then it really is. Im sure terry will edit what he wants on his website for customer installs. Keep us posted on the check engine light. How is the power and torque now is it very noticable or just slightly

These are the raw pictures, which I'm sure they make the install look overwhelming. At the end of the day, like you mentioned, only a limited number will be selected.

The install itself was pretty straightforward, and it took longer to disassemble the HVAC area to hide the "parallel port looking" connector out of the elements.

I haven't driven the car at all right now, since it has a check engine light and a rough idle. Terry suspects it could be one of the connectors is not on tight enough. I'll keep everyone posted regarding my troubleshooting progress

Please keep us posted on the cel light;

Terry is going to ship me a USB cable to reload the firmware of the piggyback computer. This shouldn't have happened, but I guess I'm just that lucky

so its a software issue then or you guys are not sure?

Yea sounds like im going with the Dinan tune. I dont have time to hassle with CEL and any other issues. The OP said he couldnt get his hooked up now your having trouble. Thanks but no thanks

I still have faith in the product, but I would recommend you to wait until I have things sorted out. It really isn't that challenging to install and remove.

To each of their own. The Dinan tune produces a lot more power, but I really wonder at what expense. Since I'm getting a free piggyback setup out of this deal, I'm willing to try to work things out for a little longer.
