Well, I'll try to at least reach maybe 115-116mph - maybe that will be enough to get to 11.99s lol? I hope it's doable if stars align perfectly and if I hit perfect shifting points. I wish I could have time to sit down and calculate exact shift points to maximize acceleration based on gear ratios and torque curve (like that dude in video), but I'm not that hardcore lol. Just doing this for fun. P.S. I did it in Comfort mode with DSC off and gear shifter in S mode (to the left) with manual shifting. So I'm thinking to try Sport mode next time - but in that mode DSC gets activated again - so I'm not sure how it will play out. We'll see. |

I don't know why manual shifting was a bit faster? I mean does ZF8 transmission really changes gears faster in manual mode or it's just that maybe it just has one less algorithm - like one less thing to compute and worry about (since driver decides when to shift) and maybe that's why it shifts a tiny bit faster? Not really sure. |

It definitely shifts faster on Sport mode (shifter to the left). So, even if your manually shifting, I would make sure the transmission is in Sport mode.

So at this point I almost always drive with DSC off and shifter to the left. Often manually shifting as well. Sport+ was fun when it was stock, but tuned there's too much power and the traction control tries to intervene too much if you're trying to have any fun.

Shift points are a tricky thing, it's not solely when boost and power falls off. But there's the aspect of torque multiplier in a lower gear vs.short shifting to the next gear because it keeps you in a better boost range. To be honest, in a 1/4 mile shift points aren't going to get you more than 1 mph. The biggest factor in quarter mile is if you can finish it at a high rpm lower gear or if you're forced to shift to the next gear close to the finish line.
I haven't looked at the gear ratios to know what gear the car is in and what rpm at 110 to 117mph |

So it turns out starting from 2015 x5 BMW changed gear ratios on ZF8 transmission. 2015+ has 4.7sec 0-60mph vs 2014 4.9s 0-60mph (BMW numbers that are known to be underestimated historically). But we can see that 2015+ has shorter gears, especially first and second and maybe that accounts for 0.2s faster reported 0-60mph time? 2015 and up now has: 5.00 (can't find max theoretical speed in each gear) 3.20 2.14 1.72 1.31 1.00 0.82 0.64 3.47 (Rear) 3.15 (Final drive ratio) While 2014 has: 4.70 - 40mph (max theoretical speed in each gear) 3.14 - 61mph 2.11 - 91mph 1.67 - 115mph 1.29 - 149mph 1.00 - 192mph 0.84 - 229mph 0.67 - 288mph 3.32 (Rear) 3.15 (Final drive ratio) So gear IV ends at 115mph (top theoretical speed for that gear) and may become issue when trying to finish 1/4 mile strong without shifting. Especially since practical top speed in each gear may be a bit lower due to different losses. Just thinking aloud. |

Changes in bold:
Also, I believe all F15 X5 50i’s have the ZF 8HP75 transmission with the above mentioned gear ratios, according to realoem.com.

Thanks guys! Yes, it would be interesting to know if it was not gear ratios that changed, but software update.

Wow this thread got pushed back to page 3! Does anyone know how to get threads stickied? We have multiple really good DIYs as well as this thread that deserve a sticky at this point. I've tried messaging admins with no reply.

I made it out to the track one last time for the summer. The track was really busy and I only got 2 runs in. This was my first run. I don't have slip for the second, I waited in line 2+ hours to run and just wanted to gtfo after
I am running a splash of E85. About 1gal added to 1/2 tank of 93. Weather was also a factor since the temp was about 58F. Especially when compared to previous runs of 80+ weather. Either way, I couldn't be happier with these numbers! 11.87 @ 116mph!!! Apparently I've been to this track enough times that the guy standing to the right knew I would win.

Silly question...
It seems like some people go with Alpina turbos for N63TU with their f10 5er. Would those turbos work on X5? Isn't the engine the same across all platforms? 5, 6, 7, X5, x6? Would alpina be better than doing hybrid? |

Most of the talk here is around BM3. Does anyone have experience with JB4 performance vs BM3? I like the idea of being able to take the JB4 off so the dealer can't tell.

In my opinion you will be happier, save money, have resale value or can transfer to your next car, have the best customer service, FREE updates, free datalogging, able to switch maps via Android, iPhone or MacBook/Windows no wires in engine bay no splicing or hard to reach areas for extra power etc. PS. Just look at Doberman16 1/4 mile video and slip on a STG1 Save the hassle, I've had both been there done that! Quote:

I have JB4 on my F30 and have never had an issue at any dealership and I don't even take it off.
