AutoTecknic, here is the picture on GlossBlack that limeypride upgraded his to.
Tune wise, RaceChip have it. Downpipe wise, Evolution Racewerks have it. It is the same as M550iX. Let me know if you want to start modding it. I can get them done for you.

I only have sound clip video on catless with AC Schnitzer exhaust. RaceChip is a piggyback tuning, similar to Dinan or BMS. Since Nov 2019, they covers engine warranty for 2 years capped at $10K. Details are available on their website.

I think I’ll wait on the bootmod 3 tune then. I’ve read good things across all other platforms.
The dps sound pretty good |

do those shift paddles replace or do they just fit over (in front or behind) the originals? how easy are they to install?

I have an 840i xdrive gran coupe (couldn’t do the 850m). Is the burger jb4 avail for that? I’m looking for some more torque/hp.

Thanks. I’ve been doing some research on this.
Looks like maybe a good first step is getting a new intake Like the Billet BMS Intake.. seems like I could do this myself as well. Any thoughts or opinions on if this is a good idea? |

In your shoes, I'd start with the biggest bang for the buck—the JB + Bluetooth dongle. Then go from there. Doing it this way also allows you to measure the incremental gains. Grab a Dragy if you enjoy the numbers aspect and want to compete on a worldwide leaderboard with others that have similar or the same car. Last edited by limeypride; 04-04-2020 at 05:23 PM.. |

cold air intake are almost always a step 1, followed by an exhaust and down pipes. step 3 is usually a piggy back tune or flash tune.
lowering springs and other mods usually follow. although I've seen a bunch of guys on here lower their rides, I can't imagine lowering the m850i or m8. it's already pretty low for me to get in and out; and going over speed bumps and street. although if I was going to track it, I could see maybe an inch or two drop. I still think the m850i is pretty low down stock. |

Never goes with stick-on. I got a customer that have stick-on and it came off during light to light pull. Quote:
And B58 is such a strong motor, you can get more gain than the N63tu motor in the M550/M850 or any current 50i variant.

In my list, it is last on the list. First would be tune, either piggyback or flash tune. Then downpipe. Exhaust is right before intake because it gives you more sound than actual power gain.

In my case, this is my 10th S63-derived BMW M-car. I've bolted on an aftermarket intake only once and an exhaust only once (same car). The intake helps for sound... and seems to work best in conjunction with more free-flowing exhausts like I mentioned... but the car I did both on doesn't compete with my more modern ones but it was an F06 M6 Comp GC and they're showing their age a bit. I'd argue that most Racechip (another piggyback) and JB4 customers are looking for a plug'n'play solution that doesn't instantaneously invalidate their drivetrain warranty. I imagine I've helped 50+ JB folks over the years and the vast majority modified nothing else... me included on 9 BMW M-cars. Granted, I'm a little different since I don't keep cars long but the results speak for themselves: 30,000 miles across two F90 Comps achieving consistent low 10.3s in the 1/4 mile and 0-60mph below 2.6s (2.57 being a repeated personal best). If you want to open things up a bit, then I'm fully supportive of getting an intake+exhaust. However, I am in complete disagreement that it's either necessary or normal for piggyback tuning. If we take my current M8, for example, it has only a JB4. It's already running 2.59s to 60 (per Dragy as in all cases above) and a 10.5s 1/4 mile on farm roads--I'm still tinkering but I've no doubt she'll match my 2020 F90 M5 Comp once I nail the setup (and it stops raining). I'd do the JB4 first--see how it feels. Then the intake, see the difference--determine for yourself. Or do the intake and exhaust together but, either way, give yourself a baseline to compare the bolt-ons against. Last edited by limeypride; 04-04-2020 at 05:34 PM.. |

Believe it or not, with the new air intake technology, the stock air filter is as good as any aftermarket unless you are pushing 50% more horsepower. In my list, it is last on the list. First would be tune, either piggyback or flash tune. Then downpipe. Exhaust is right before intake because it gives you more sound than actual power gain.[/QUOTE] wow, that's cool. I stand corrected, thanks! I haven't done any racing or modified any car in a decade, so I'm not up to date. and with the Coronavirus and a my kids, I doubt I'll get back but I can always dream. |
