X5 2014 N55 for BM3 St1

[Kolianovskyi]

Hi there!

I understand it might be already discussed somewhere in different threads, but would want to summarize.

I have X5 F15 2014 N55 52k miles for my wife. I would like to flash BM3 st1 93, the car completely in stock. What mods do I need to plug and/or replace? From the most important to the less one. The car is not for dragging, rather daily commute, so would not assume to replace a half of a car).

If you can also focus me on how much each item might cost, I would appreciate. I see charge pipes for $160, 250, 350, as well as DP for $100-200-300. What are the most adequate options for price/reliability?

Does THIS work for me?

Or THIS?

Thank you.

For BM3 stage 1, I would suggest upgrading the chargepipe as it's known to break with the extra boost.

Yes charge pipe is a must also before you buy the bm3 license email them and check your ilevel software to see if you need to do the bench unlock for your dme

What do you mean? How to check that?

Just contact protuningfreaks/bm3, they'll ask for your vin and tell you if you need to do the bench unlock or not

Ok.
I already bought bm3 account and flashed st1 93. Now thinking about what to upgrade first, intercooler or charge pipe. At this time stock hardware still works, not sure how to track boost leakage with logs, but sport displays gave me ~366 hps yesterday. It is about 20% hps increase.

Oh didn't know you were tuned already, nice!
I would go with the charge pipe but to each their own

Any recommendations for particular items? It looks like charge pipes for F15 lees popular than F30-32.
It is an option? https://www.urotuning.com/products/b...32202294755383
