What's up guys.

Just picked up a 2013 X5 3.5 Sport. It's impossible for me to own a car without modding it....but will probably at least wait until break-in is complete to tune it. But who knows...I threw the ESS blower on my M3 at 900 miles

I had an n54 motor with two 335's that I previous owned, but I don't know much about tuning on the n55's. I don't need to go ballz out like I did with the 335's that ran meth and max psi. But this thing needs a bit more power given the weight.

Should be fun once tuned with the 8 speed auto trans. No doubt the best 6 cyl driver's SUV out there.

Congrats! Jb makes a stage 1 for her.

Yeah thx. I know Terry Burger very well so he will give me one of his tunes to try out. The JB's didn't allow for a customized boost profile (throughout the entire RPM band) when I had my 335's but maybe they do now. That's a deal breaker for me so I used the Procede instead. I mentioned this to Terry a number of times so hopefully he's got this covered now.

Congrats on the X5M. I test drove the snot out of one and was extremely impressed. Felt like BMW was breaking the laws of physics. Must be very few where you are. On O'ahu?

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm on O'ahu. I think there are only a handful of them over here. I currently know of six including mine. Definitely agree with you on the physics part, I'm constantly laughing at the maneuvers this thing is capable of...

Welcome and nice x5

Looks nice! A full M Sport conversion would be wicked.

Thanks. I actually didn't like the looks of the M sport. I like the contrast of the black-out of the fenders and bottom panels. And I like these rims. And unfortunately the only engine model available with this exterior was the n55 3.0....but if I want to go fast I'll have to drive something else

Lanikai will do that to you. Then again it is Lanikai so it will always payoff in the long run. We were looking at Manoa about 5 years ago and same thing. Ended up in Waikele and saved a bundle.

Btw my folks live in Kailua and it's where I work so it's nice to see someone here who knows about the place.
