X6M receiving some special treatment from Bimmer Performance Center

[Phil@BPC]

We recently had this X6M arrive to have aftermarket downpipes wrapped and installed as long with our stage 2 tune flashed to the DME. These upgrades will definitely back up this X6M's sinister looks.

Looks great. Needs to be lowered a bit though. What wrap did you guys use on the DPs?

[Phil@BPC]

The X6M's and the X5M's look awesome lowered. This one could definitely use some lowering springs or coil overs.

I'm not sure on the brand but I know we use a titanium wrap so that it can hold up to the extreme heat and not flake off like traditional header wrap. The wrap isn't just for looks or reduce the heat under the hood it also helps reduce damage to the rear cylinders. We see that the aftermarket downpipes get too hot at times. This excessive heat can affect the rear cylinders creating issues. The stock downpipes are double walled which reduce heat transfer from the factory.

Which downpipes did you guys use? Any problems after dp instal along with the flash? I'm having issues with catless dp and DME tune

Would love to know what dp's were used as well

I believe these were VRSF downpipes.

We haven't had an issue with our tunes and downpipes. We've tuned quite a few S63 powered vehicles with downpipes and so far everyone has been thoroughly pleased with the end results.

So I have active downpipes and dme tune, having an issue when starting my X5m, rpm would fluctuate and stall

Heard this was common with catless and time. Running hfc dp and bm3 tune. Haven’t stalled once

My m4 with stock Downpipe’s runs into the stall issue sometimes. Kind of weird
