Finally got x5 where I want it

2015 X5 35 X drive X line
Fully coded for all performance including faster shift points
MPPK and MPE
RC D level
Burger Air Intake
Front M big brake kit
Staggered 20s
And new found feeling of a new SUV with the removal of in transit coding that was removed a few weeks ago. This held back full performance including less snappy gearshifting.
Next best feeling versus a 50 which in my case is a bit overkill for a Long Island / NYC driver.

Very nice Kenpsterd! What does the Burger intake provide for you in terms of performance? Any difference in sound as well?

Thanks.

It might add a tad of power but probably not the purpose
The sound is awesome and not obnoxious
Love the turbo whirl sound more pronounced

Very nice brother. I have an Xline myself with MPPK. Did you change your exhaust tips and rear bumper valance when you upgraded to MPE?

I assume he means that he coded the sport auto transmission given that he has an X-line.

I had changed a while back to 50 tips and valance. That is what I used versus having to invest in an M bumper.

Nice. When you ordered the exhaust tips for the 50i, did the passenger side tip come with the sensor unit to plug your old valve sensor plug?

Yes allows for flap open all time
Exhaust smoke comes out of both pipes at cold and upon acceleration
Liked the mod just for that
