535d Stage 2

jimj911 · 12-14-2018, 04:07 PM

Bimmer Performance Center stage 2 tune for a 2014 535d.

Pros:
Great power. Night and day performance really. It was fun before but lacking, pulls like a train now. Sounds better if that matters to you. Had it deleted (emissions issues are what started the process) and now you can actually hear the exhaust and the turbo whistle, but it's not overly loud. Subdued. Sounds great at idle standing behind it. It's not a silent vehicle anymore which I prefer.

Cons:
Significant smell of diesel exhaust now that fills the cabin pretty quickly if the door is left open or window while car is running. Not a problem to me but it is for the daily driver of the car (fiancée)!

Great group to deal with. Very, very knowledgeable, gave a loaner car and work was done rather quickly. Very nice shop with a dyno as well.

Are there any other mods? Or just the tune?

Tune, downpipe, delete (they gut the SCR) and that car is lowered 2" if that's what your asking ?

Any before and after dyno. I see you got an msport but do you know if they could remove the speed limiter for non msport vehicles in their tunes?

In the absence of dyno metrics, might you provide a simple measure, say 0-60 time, that might be compared to published figure for the 535d?

I would contact them, but I'd bet they could. They are in Raleigh, NC, ask for Randall. He knows his stuff

I haven't done one yet but I will. We tried one with my fiancée driving and it wasn't what it could be if proper boost was built. It is a NOTICEABLE difference in driveability and put you in your seat feel.

They have published dyno numbers on their website but couldn't do ours as it's awd and their dyno is only for one axle
