Downpipes and charge pipes should come before a tune in an ideal world. While catless downpipes deliver maximum power and the fastest imaginable turbo spool, you can make 650+ at the crank with an N63TU variant with high-flow cats. Your advice on that front was spot on and for the right reasons. Nice video!
I have a 2016 750i xdrive. My current mods are catless downpipes, 3” straight pipe, Dinan ignition coils, ARM front facing CAI and charge pipes. I currently have a BM3 93 stage 2 tune. It’s definitely fast for a massive land yacht. The biggest issue with this platform is finding parts for it. For example the ONLY swappable intercoolers costs 3k. There are other options out there but it’s definitely a premium in terms of cost.
i was thinking of doing this with my 2015 750li but that car is built to be quiet I would hate to change that with a catlkess down pipe. Is there any quieter but freer flowing options?
C - High flow catted will be a little quieter. But honestly a downpipe doesn't really make it a lot louder. Now if you're adding a full exhaust, that's where a lot of the sound comes from.
I have a 2011 X5 n63 with upgraded turbos, catless downpipes, upgraded coils from dinan and a jb4, and it's pushing close to 600 horsepower and she is a beast.😊
JB4 handles first gen bootmod for the other gen’s I have intercoolers turbos Catless full exhaust with coils plugs oil cooler valve with 180 degree stat with 1.4 bar cap what a monster plus front facing intake with charge pipes liquid Molly for trans oil and dif.
I'm not sure I'm aware of any reputable ones. Good catalytic converters are very expensive since they use rare earth metals so they're ridiculously more expensive than catless options.
I want to do the tune and mods but I’m worried about the smell people have been reporting after doing stage 1 or stage 2 tune. Also with the n63 they are known to have oil consumption issues, Im afraid this tune and mods will damage my engine. Please let me know your honest opinion.
Yes! That would be great to see and also how they compare to their I6 engines such as S58 in reliability in high power ranges . Really appreciate the videos as always 🙏🏽
Simple and excellent explanation, Great job man i have 2020 M850i Coupe, And I look forward to Tuning it with +700-800whp, i know that's will be hard asf, but i hope i can do it And I have another question, what do you think about best intake for N63? , in terms of sound and flow
Mooka - Thanks for the feedback! We have an upgraded intake guide on this engine on our BMW website which I think may be helpful! Keep us posted: bmwtuning.co/bmw-s63-upgraded-performance-intake-guide/
I think you might be confusing E85 with 85 octane. E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol has an octane rating of 100+, burns much cooler than gasoline, and has a lower stoichiometric ratio. That means E85 is incredibly knock resistant and allows you to safely advance ignition timing and run higher boost. Depending on the mods and setup, full E85 can show power gains of 50-100+whp on the N63 (with the appropriate fueling mods for 100% E85). Looking at a small blend of E85 - like an E30 blend - you can still see power gains of 20+whp on the stock turbos without any fuel system upgrades.

A - Agreed! Thanks for the feedback and insight.
The stock car is not tuned for catless downpipes. Better to do them all together.
Where am. I getting the e30 fuel?
Great vid, though once you mentioned bootmod3 you should also note that it does not support the "original" N63
Starky - Thanks for the insight!
Does that mean it's compatible with the n63tu? I have the 2017 650i xdrive coupe (not gran coupe)

keep messaging companies requesting parts. I know I have been for my n63t3. Custom turbo manifold and larger charge coolers, and remote oil coolers.
Hi I go the same model. What would it take and how much more o less.. What did you use.?
So mhd doesn’t offer a tuning software for the n63tu?
No - but BM3 does.
Thats more for n54 and n55
You left me no question to ask
Great video 👍🏻🔥

My favorite upgrades on my 550ix besides downpipes, turbos, meth, ACL rod bearings, custom exhaust and custom tune are the S63 exhaust manifolds.
J - Nice! Sounds like you've got a nice build!
N63M30 in the Alpina was not included in initial specs. That makes 600-608 whp from Alpina.
S - Thanks for the insight.
Any companies make a kit with all these mods in one package?
Jay - Not to our knowledge.
You can get the intake and downpipes together from ARM but that’s about it
Where do you get a high flow catted downpipe for under $1,000? I’m seeing more than double that for the cheapest one.
I'm not sure I'm aware of any reputable ones. Good catalytic converters are very expensive since they use rare earth metals so they're ridiculously more expensive than catless options.
CTS turbo high flow cats they go for $800
Bmp tuning
Arm 450$
any certain brands to buy from when it comes to downpipes with high flow cats? ive got a 2016 550i m sport
R - We have brands in our article: bmwtuning.co/how-to-build-a-500whp-bmw-n63-for-under-1500/
Hello. Is there a way to tune or code out catless downpipes? I don't want to drive with a check engine light on.
S - There is a way to tune it out.
12B304 & 12B305 with Bootmod3. Very easy to do. I do this on mine. One is for the drivers side sensor the other is for the other side sensor.
I wish MHD would have something for the n63tu
J - Sorry! There's still some good options out there.
650i N63TU ?
S - What about it?
whats your thought and fixes for the common issues on the n63?
E - We have a full video on this that may be helpful for your research: ua-cam.com/video/hsPuvvAWWTw/v-deo.html
14 550I here I have downpipe/straight pipes and stage 1 tune should I do xHp to wake up my transmission?
xHP is always a great addition - certainly no harm and only benefit to adding it. Should help it hold up better too
would the e30 map help with the infamous n63 oil consumption issue(s)?
G - Not likely.

Lets go! 😮💨🔥

@@8020Media I only have a OEM M5 exhaust on it.

Not hard at all. e40 tune with bolt ons and you'll be over 800whp.
Wouldn't new rod bearings be better option before tuning
C - Don't necessarily need to but all depends on your power goals.
Tell me you couldn’t come up with your own name without telling me.
Not quite sure what you mean by this. Care to elaborate?
Yeah u can get a n63 to 650 hp but for how long hahaha i love my n63 but the damm thing costs so much time and money hahaha
C - It's possible. 650 is aggressive.
@@8020Media Lil too agro
Unless youre upgrading the turbos
R - true.
@Itsredbaron shoot I've replaced my turbos twice now
N63T3 700whp easy
P - We like to be modest with these mod guides to protect reliability. But yes, is possible.
E85...... Yeah you lost all credibility just by suggesting that e85 makes more power
I think you might be confusing E85 with 85 octane. E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol has an octane rating of 100+, burns much cooler than gasoline, and has a lower stoichiometric ratio.

You don’t know much about engine, compression, and boost do you? Lmao
I heard E85 takes longer to combust then regular gasoline🤷🏾♂️
