2014 550i White on Mocha Interior HR Springs and Black Wheels

Eli550 · 06-12-2014, 01:22 AM

Just leased this awesome beast!
Although nothing is fast enough...
So far I have a muffler delete done (sounds amazing)
Got my wheels powdercoated high gloss black and lowered on HR Sport Springs.
Gloss black grill and M Performance Carbon Spoiler

What should I do to make it faster?
Was told the 14 has 445 horsepower as opposed to the 13 with 400 horses.

New to forum and would love some input. Thanks!

Very nice.

You should ask badblack550xi about making your 550ifaster.

BMS Stage 1 tune will awaken the beast lurking under your hood.

Do you know if it will affect warranty or do anything like a check engine light even? I don't want to have problems, just speed!

Can you please post some interior shots, I am thinking of getting the same set-up Alpine White with Mocha Nappa

Eli550 · 06-12-2014, 07:30 PM

Here you go!

armanm · 06-12-2014, 07:59 PM

Thanks OP!
How are you liking the mocha nappa leather so far?

I love it! I like unique interiors, it makes the car completely different.

Looks nice - enjoy it!

Regarding the BMS tune, most people here haven't had problems with anything warranty related. If you're really concerned, you can remove it prior to dealer visits (as some do) - but from the sound of it, many people just leave it in without issue (at least for routine visits - oil changes, etc). I'm not speaking from personal experience, though.

Love that Mocha Nappa Leather! But that damn steering wheel...what the hell were they thinking to change all their models to that damn look!

Yeah I'm sure the service guys know what's up when they see these cars come in and they wouldn't have a problem with it cuz there cars probably have the same.

Tune and downpipe coming next week, anyone know how I can save some money on downpipe? It's very expensive everywhere else.
Thanks!

armanm · 06-12-2014, 11:20 PM

Where did you have the powder coat done on the wheels?

Seattle135is · 06-12-2014, 11:23 PM

Practise installing and removing the BMS tune yourself - I removed mine in about 10 minutes while waiting for a tow when the injectors on my 550 blew. Since I knew it must have been a serious issue, I chose to remove the tune and not have to deal with any warranty squabble.
Just my 0.02c
Sweet ride btw

I'm sure I'll figure something out I'm usually pretty good with installing and uninstalling anything. I did a bunch of things to my boat recently and I'm pretty handy lol.

Thanks, not done yet: still have a few things to do especially performance wise. I'm also just getting the hang of using the forums and this is awesome!

spyroz · 06-13-2014, 12:40 AM

Wait... I though 550i had 445hp from 11-14, lci had minor update like injector, computer and electronic system.

Just the 14 is 445 from my understanding

That's correct. The 2011 - 2013 550's have 400hp. Power is up (445hp / 480lb-ft) for 2014. The pre-LCI cars had the N63 engine. The LCI cars have the N63Tu, which aside from being up on power, also has a bunch of changes including new injectors.

spyroz · 06-14-2014, 01:02 AM
