Chiptuning 3.0sd X5

Just ordered my new X5 last saturday.
BMW X5 35sd Carbon schwarz with M sport package only i dropped the 20" 227 styling wheels and replaced them with the 21" styling 239 wheels.
It has 286 Bhp and a torque of 530 Nm.
It will be delivered in 3 months it has to come from the states to west-europe.
In these three months i hope to find a answer to my question about chiptuning my X5 and if there are peolple who have experience with tuning the engine.
Now i am driving a BMW M5 Touring but due to new work and the birth of my thirth child i was forced back into the SAV sector and the diesel again.
So i am going back from 507 Bhp to 286 Bhp.
Is there a possibility to chiptune a X5 and wath will do this to the engine, Bhp and Torque of the car ?

Try X5world.com

There are people over there that have talked about it.

I have a U.S. version of the 3.0 sd.

My experience is really good! I did a remapping that means reprogramming the ECU and now I have 335HP and 690Nm. As far as I know is totally undetectable and doesn't void warranty. The difference is quiet obviouse especially in 3d 4th & 5th gear. The company i did it was Hartge(Germany).
But I hear Zip Tunning is also good. (Netherlands)
The cars pools amazingly and so far I only have issues when raced others with Porsche Cayenne Turbo and other beasts like ML AMG(different category) Anything else from a Range Rover Sport Super Charger, to any kind of ML ( of course not the AMG) is way back when racing.... I also have driven a 4.8i which I think it was a bit slower... but not raced so far so cannot say for sure. ( also I never race from 1st gear because I feel sorry for the car) so I cannot tell you 0-100 which by the way Hartge says around 6.5sec

Now regarding consumption hm.... here is the big problem... as long as you don't speed I could say that its around a normal SD. But when I speed I see great numbers but yet not a lot compare to another 335hp car.

that's all!

My 3.0 liter diesel has an AC Schnitzer diesel power upgrade (from 218 horsepower, upgraded to about 265 horsepower, and torque up to around 560Nm). I didn't install it (previous owner did), but it does cost a lot of €€€. However, it also comes with a huge warranty.

A re-map is probably the best option and there is a company in Belgium that can do this with great results. The company is called Kempower.

Thank you,

I will try that.
Is there a range of km or miles that a car must have made before tuning?

By comsumation i am not worried, Now i drive a M5 touring wich drives 3 km a Liter and then i drive at 400bhp.
When tou put it on his tale at 507 BHP you drive 1.5 km a liter.
So the consumation doesn't worry me.

i have driven a Q7 4.2 quatrro with 320 bhp and didn't feel much diference with the BMW X5 3.5 sd while the Q7 has a torque of 720 Nm

As far as I know you can chip tune it at any moment. Its up to you. I know a guy who did it with 0 km and I did at 2000km Consumption is not that bad.. but not as good as normal.

go ahead and try them

I would be very curious to see if there is any actual difference between all these tuning companies...
