I’ve recently made Stage 2 in my F15 X5 50i and I noticed a white Smoke like in your car. Do you believe that we have a problem on the valve seals because of this excessive smoke?
It was a snowy day when I had made this video, so it only smoked until it was at operating temp. Constant white smoke indicates coolant burning but blue smoke (oil burning) on the other hand could be several things - turbos on their way out, valve stem seals, piston rings, etc. If you see blue smoke at cold start that goes on for a minute could be an indication of valve stem seals.
To confirm valve seals get up to operating temp and idle for about 10-15 mins, and then rev it a bit. If you see a bunch of the blue smoke then it's likely valve seals.
I have an 11 with Megan Supremo as well...looking to get a tune now. Who did your tune? Do you have catless downpipes? Stock turbos? Thank you!
Tuned by RR Tuning (Poland), running catless downpipes, stock turbos but recently had them rebuilt.

hows the stage 2 doing you? has it been reliable?
Been great - have taken couple of over 2k mile trips.
Is there much drone?
Not really. Never bothered me at highway speeds
