I’ve heard great things about the G30 M550 EGS (Alpina Electronic gearbox software) since they are practically the same cars, same engine, transmission and alpina B5 is n63. You should make a video in it
How’s the service record? It’s a great choice if you have a good carfax (although that can be incorrect/misleading in some cases, it’s a good data point). There was an engine update in 2020, you might want to look into if you’re interested in that. You could likely get a 2020 with similar mileage coming off lease for $50k if you could swing that. If not, get he 2018, but it’s possible you’ll make the difference in service depending if you have maintenance/warrant, which you’d have for atleast another year on the 2020. Especially if you found a certified pre owned.
Dinan doesn’t make ignition coils. They are actually just the oem equivalent Delphi coils with a different color clip… Let me know if you have any questions. I’ve gotten pretty deep.
Thanks man preciate it In this video I got -BM3 Stage 2 Tune -ARM Motorsports Catless Downpipes -Stock Exhaust system with resonators deleted (Only muffler) That’s it! (I did not have the ARM Intake in yet. Stock in this video)
Try using your paddle shifters. You’d make the car sound so much better with RPM control and the noise. You will also drive smoother when you are in control and the car will get used to you.
In my state you only need what they call a E check and you can use a manual OBD scanner which scans the car for codes and passes it because my tune doesn’t show any.
I have a 2012 550i w Msport package, catless down pipes, jb4stage 2 computer and set to 18lbs of boost.. you will not pass an emissions test with catless downpipes… look for a nearby county that doesn’t require an emission test and establish an address you ca😊n ha😊be a couple bills sent to or use 😊a friends address and just have them write up a landlord/tenant, lease agreement 😇🇺🇸
On the infotainment screen id there different performance guages? It looks like you have boost psi and maybe hp on it there. Looking to get one of these soon but i like being able to watch my temps/pressures
year old video but I kinda want one of these. Around 2020 ish. Problem is 5 series age like milk left on the table. The depreciation is GOD AWFUL on these things. like 50% of value gone in 3-4 years. I kinda want to wait for them to hit rock bottom first, but then you gotta pony up for the expensive milestone maintenances......kinda can't win.
I’m running the same setup on my 2017 650 stage 2 93 no resonator stock muffler arm downpipes bootmod3 , but didn’t get options for burbles in the configuration how did you get burbles????
you don't know what drone is.....try a nice catback on a b8.5 audi s5. Your ears will suck out of your head. If your ears don't feel like they are getting sucked out of your head (certain frequencies will make you feel this way) then you don't have any drone issues.

Weird question, I wouldn't expect it to do anything but removing the resonators. Did that throw any codes or back pressure issues? I have a 2019 and have been looking into removing them as I am not ready to do remapping just yet.
Removing the resonators does not cause any faults at all or any back pressure problems. If anything it makes the car much smoother! I would recommend a x pipe to be installed in its place to prevent any raspy noises or drone. By far the greatest and cheapest way to get more sound! I have a few videos that show this work before and after!
How much gallons of gas do you approximately go through in a week? I'm sure I can afford the car itself, but it'll be my first gas gulper and I got no clue what I'm gonna be looking at soon. I know it's different for everyone but your drive style is pretty similar to mine hence the question. Thanks in advance
To be completely honest I daily this to work everyday and do a lot of driving. I talk more about it in my next video where I go more in depth and go over true MPG’s!
Awesome video! Yeah the thing people may not know about this car is that its quiet to make get aways but loud to attract attention😂.
What a deep perfect sound. The perfect car for me.
Please please more of these pov because u are the only UA-camr with a good camera and the beautiful sound of the exhaust and burly any talking
This car sounds extremely hangry. Literally crazy loud 💥
Car sounds epic, nice work
I love these 550i pov man
And them downshifts is crazy
Nice
Like that Alpina dash color too
Omg that thang sounds amazing

i love your car bro, i had an 06 550i and was in love with it and i have my sights set on one of these in the future 😭
Great video! Thank for being very thorough…can tell you love this car as much as the rest of us love ours. keep up the great content!
Can you do 0-60 video with stage 2?
You seem to take it real easy on the car. No high revs
Sounds amazing, I've been looking for a good deal on a 2018 M550, found one near my area with 48k miles going for $37k what do yall think?
Get that bro

Before my m550i I had a 2014 535i with dinan exhaust only time you really hear the drone was in echo mode put in sport and it goes away
What is the year of this one ?
Sounds great! Btw what do you use to record? Which mic and pov mount?
Sadly iphone and a mount of amazon
@@jbcars tbh it's good quality
Sheeeesh sounds crazy good idk if I want that all the time tho. How is the reliability tuned vs stick looking at a 20 m550i
I have a reliability video on my channel where I go in depth! I will be doing a follow up video soon updating everyone!
What’s done to your car man? sounds like a beast !
Thanks man preciate it

-BM3 Stage 2 Tune

Wait , yu had said No drone when yu got the x pipes , so the catless pipes brought back the drone?
I have some drone with the valves open in my current setup but with them closed it’s pretty stock sounding
When you got the downpipes installed did you have a check engine light? And with the downpipes will you pass emissions for inspection?
In my state you only need what they call a E check and you can use a manual OBD scanner which scans the car for codes and passes it because my tune doesn’t show any.

is it reliable? have u had any unscheduled maintenance?
Hey mate, my car is m550i 2023, do u know how to change the screen speed that is showing in ur car? would appreciate it
I have a video coming up on how to code it in!
Are you using the stock intercooler? Or did you need to upgrade w this specific tune? Any additional upgrades besides catless downpipes?
Just downpipes no need to upgrade intercooler
What are the burble settings on that tune?
On the infotainment screen id there different performance guages? It looks like you have boost psi and maybe hp on it there. Looking to get one of these soon but i like being able to watch my temps/pressures
You can do it on the newer models not on mine unfortunately

How is your speedo showing 200? I thought it was 160 stock?
Yo get black grilles and updated bumped it’ll fit the car and aggression so much better than the chrome!
Hey buddy with the tune can you turn off the pops (burbles)
Yes
How’s the body roll ? I’ve only driven an m sport 440i & that thing was on absolute rails like it was insane.. too much confidence through turns 😂
Nice. How’s the reliability and issues ? What’s the mileage
It’s been really good I’m almost at 110k I’ve got a video coming up where I go over reliability again next week
if you change to the Alpina display, does the Speed Limiter get past 163mph after the tune? My M550i keeps maxing me out at 163mph.
Haven’t tried that out yet definitely will have to!
Can confirm
How much hp it has with stage 2 bro
Pushing over 600 now
Turn signals don’t exist in BMWs 😆 gotta love the car even with its faults lol
What yearmodell is this and what brand is the catless downpipes
18’ ARM Motorsports

How did you get the alpina dash? I have BimmerCode and I could not turn it on. Going to do stage 1 etc on my G30
I’m gonna be having a quick video on how to code it in very soon!
Do you have to upgrade charge pipe and how is the arm down pipes holding up?
I did not op for those and they are holding up amazing!
