timmer Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I finally got around to doing something good for my X5 instead of the E30’s. Removed are the EGR, DPF, and SCR system. Added AArodriguez race pipe, Buzzken Downpipe, and Malone stage 2.5 tune, and new summer shoes. In the end, good for 380hp/620tq. Guys at legend auto in Appleton did a fantastic job, highly recommend! The X5 pulls like a train, and gets way better MPGs! Did 350 miles this week and averaged 28.2 mpg with a few instances where my foot was heavy. LOTS of turbo noises coming through, turning a lot of heads. I’ve fallen in love all over again.... the hardest part is deciding what car to drive now!! -Tim EEF3098C-345A-42FE-8648-83443CCDC709.MOV B C, P_Roloff and Jdesign 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 "Jeep" disgraceful, to an otherwise wonderful machine. I'd love to see a pull video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 How many miles are on it? Those numbers are astonishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmer Posted August 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thanks! I stole the Jeep plug from my wife’s old vehicle, I’ll get a different one, lol. Its just under 110k; about the time when the emissions components start going the way of old Yeller. She’s got a ton of life left in her now that the emissions stuff is gone, and not bringing her down! I plan on a full CBU cleaning soon, since the EGR was intact for so long. Who ever thought it would be a good idea putting diesel exhaust back through the intake? The engine runs amazing smoother, and feels way more relaxed and unburdened than before. I’ll get some pull vids soon! -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmer Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 A little 0-80 action filmed in the greenest part of Mexico you’ll ever see... 😉 Not bad except for my sunglasses flying off the console when I launched! -Tim A638D538-0C5F-4D84-B47B-A1AA6D4DC7C5.MOV Jdesign, wasnt m3 and P_Roloff 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmer Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Heavy D is loaded up for Labor Day weekend! Love the looks driving through the campground... the redneck crowd is ready to raise a Budweiser to a 3/4 ton truck coming through, just to have their dreams crushed by a SAV from Deutschland (well, South Carolina) Here’s to working for a living! Happy Labor Day all! -Tim Jdesign and P_Roloff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Redneck crowd: “hey, he brought his whole house with him” It’s really unfortunate that diesel powered cars came to an abrupt end recently. A diesel awd 5 series or X5 really checks a lot of the boxes on my list timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, guess I gotta get on here more often!! it’s been great! I still love driving it… I’m at 125,000 miles now, so I’ve put on 15k since it was deleted and tuned. It’s about time for some routine maintenance for the old M57… time to replace the valve cover gasket, vacuum lines, and replace the charge pipe. No problems now, but known failure points. Fuel mileage and power remains great, but I’m starting to get the itch for more! I’ve been eyeing up hybrid turbos from www.tunemyeuro.com, it’s crazy how much you can squeeze out of these engines! I still giggle at the looks I get driving around, especially when I get into boost 🤓 -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
