DME tuning 550xi n63tu
I just recently picked up a 2014 550xi CPO with 29K. Love the car but feel like its need to woken up a bit. I came from a 2011 audi s4 that had a bunch of mods. the 550 seems to be a lot less snappy and not quite as fast (may be mental) I really want to feel it pull harder. I had a jb4 stage 1 but felt no difference even with the dials turned all the way up. I took it out and im returning it. I also have a mesiterschaft exhaust now.
I had the exhaust installed at Auto Coutour in NJ. Nice shop. They are trying to sell me on the DME tune. They are claiming about 100hp at the wheels and very reliable. Anyone here have any experience with DME or know something i should be aware of? |

I don't have first hand experience, but know of cars they have tuned on IG. Their tuned cars are beasts. Seems like they are a top notch shop from everything I have heard about them. I say do it!

I have the DME Tune, love it. Actually had a small glitch at first where the turbos weren't giving full boost (common on Alpinas as well) but DME tended to it immediately. We joke about how it was a part of the plan, so the car felt even faster afterwards
Loving it so far. Sure they're might be something faster out there, but I've had no drivetrain malfunctions or major/minor issues at all. DME actually dyno'd a tune-only 650 that showed gains of 130whp and 140wtq, which is super impressive. I have yet to dyno mine soon. Although I did a pull from 60 one day and clocked 140 before I even knew it. Someone did a run recently in a tune-only 550 with BB's filters. 11.7, and that was on pump gas with so-so tires. With my downpipes, intakes, and exhaust, I'm curious to see what I'll run on the 1/4. Highly recommended. Hit them up and tell them I sent you Here's a sound clip for you: http://picbear.com/media/1473464187220188460_1628309842

So I had the DME tune done on Wednesday. After a few hours the tuner comes back and asks me if I noticed an engine clicking noise before. I told him there was definitely no noise before. We took a ride and you can now clearly hear a metal clicking noise that follows the Rpms. The tuner told me he doesn't like the sound and I should go to bmw and check it out. He gave me the name of a service advisor that is somewhat cool with mods. I really hope this nothing serious. Starting to wonder if I made a mistake. Now have a tuned car that I have to baby till my Tuesday service appointment.

Before you Ever tune a car it is always recommended you do a full health check of car. Remember it is a mechanical thing and things go wrong. I have done 4* cars with DME including my wife's X5 that she drives with my 3 year old daughter. Experience with DME Issues = None World records = to many to count Trust = Full Google me any which way my friend = 200M6H |

Point is I have experience with DME and it's affiliates and nothing but big Power and reliability on my end. Also, before you tune or modify you have to be prepared for the worst no matter who he tuner IS. PAY TO PLAY. |
