2018 50i tune options

gehmjc21 · 05-02-2019, 05:27 AM

I recently traded in my 2014 750 for a 2018 50i X5, so far I really like the transition into an SUV. I have a jb4 tune sitting in my garage that was used on the 750 (n63tu). However I've read a few posts that the 2018 engine doesn't seem very compatible with the Burger tune, is this true? If so what are my best options for the 2018 50i?

Also, when I play my download music from my phone (android), I can't see the songs in my HUD. I could on my 750. Any thoughts there?

Thanks!

Have you tried erasing your phone from the car and resyncing and redownloading. What media are you using for music?

Welcome to the F15 family!

The two main platforms for tuning the N63TU around here are RaceChip (piggyback) and BM3 (flash). I've used both and prefer BM3.

There are two fairly intensive threads all about tuning the F15 right on the first page.

If you read through the threads and have any more questions about one platform or another, feel free to post again.

I haven't tried that, I will. I use PLAY MUSIC on my Samsung s8. Worked fine in the 7er
