x5m discreet mods

gizmo958 · 07-25-2016, 12:39 PM

hey guys
i have an x5m which funny enough ive just traded in for a 17 model x5m.
love the car generally , never had a bearing fault as some have but could just be my luck .

id like to unleash abit more power , i need somthing discreet in that a remap would also count as discreet but i need ultra discreet and reversible , idea being i do not want main dealer knowing anything .

what do u guys suggest . im in the uk by the way ,
if i could revert back to standard my self would be even beter

many thanks guys

You can toggle the Dinan on and off right? But that's usually dealer-installed...

Just go Dinan. Doesn't have to be factory installed. Dinan matches BMW warranty and its so "trustworthy" that a few dealers in the US even have baked them into lease payments. Stage 1 installed here and its freaking fast.

And yes you can use the Dinan app and via bluetooth turn the module back to stock on the fly.

Nope, Connected drive doesn't report engine parameters to anyone. However, any tune can be detected if the dealer wants to pull the history log. There's no hiding from that.
