Bought the BMS JB N63/N63tu Stage1 tune. So much snow that I have not been able to open her up and see yet!
However, does this tune result in the requirement of shorter oil change intervals? |

I would imagine that with the tune chip, it puts more stress on the engine (within tolerable levels obviously) but would break down the oil at a faster rate. So, would you change the oil twice per year instead of the BMW service schedule of 10,000 miles or whatever it is and 12 months? |

If possible, do the freebies with BMW ands still do it every 5-7500 miles yourself. |

Of course changing oil more frequently doesn't hurt the engine, it just will hurt the environment and your wallet (unless if money is not a factor here). My oil change requirement indicator goes down at lesser miles after some long distance driving. I'm not sure how it knows, but I know that it happened. As far as putting more stress on the engine, you are far from putting the engine to the limit if you are just driving the car on the street. What I've done to my car, is putting the engine to a stress. But, by just driving on the street with a tune, you are not putting more stress on the engine as just driving on the stop and go traffic.

Since I own my car, I always change my oil between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. Since the first oil change for the F15 is normally at 10,000 miles, I changed my own at 5,000 miles so I will have 5,000 mile change intervals. With the tight engine tolerances requiring clean lubrication, the cleaning properties of oil needed for the diesel engines, the cooling properties of quality oil, and the various components using oil pressure to work (like the VGT), changing the oil more frequently than 10,000 miles is cheap insurance for such a high-priced, complex vehicle.

I'm so confused, is the Burger tune the same as the Racechip? and just different names?
If not, are they similarly installed? Just trying to understand how invasive i have to be. For reference, I'm coming from a Heico Sportive Piggyback tune, which was insanely invasive and has turned me off completely to this - unless it's simpler and easily removable. |

Both have similar easy installs on 35i and 35d (under 5 min). 50i is more complicated on RaceChip (20-30 min) than with BMS (1-3 min).

r33 is there a pdf to show installation steps? at the price you're selling it for, it's almost a no brainer to do this. (assuming i go with the 50i, but I can't ever leave anything stock) |

BMS tune for N63tu motor on the X5 xDrive50i is plugged to the MAF sensor. While RaceChip is plugged into the MAP sensor. As opasha mentioned, the BMS is 1-3 minutes install, while the RaceChip is much more complicated install. Gain wise, I would say it is up to par.

You can refer to BMS installation instruction. http://www.burgertuning.com/instruct...e1_install.pdf For the X5 xDrive50i, use the page 12. The instruction is for F10 550 or F12 650. The only difference, on the X5, the sensor is facing outside, so it is much easier as you don't need to route the harness away from the motor or even open the engine cover.
