Tuned my X6M with Eurospeed

[chucknorris]

The above are the mods coming over the next few weeks. Dyno are gains from Eurospeed software

I bought a new X6M last month

Let the mods begin

22 x 12 and 22 x 11 ADV 10 deep concave wheels
H & R lowering kit (1, 5 inch drop)
Akrapovic Exhaust
Vorsteiner Rear Diffuser
Matt Black Grills and indicator markers
BMW rear boot lid spoiler painted Alpine White
75hp software map by Euro speed

Elton from Eurospeed recently did the software for me and the car is ridiculously quick added 75hp

Anyone thinking of software, should call him.

He has partnered with a European Tuning company that specializes in Exotic cars and they do all the tuning on their in house dynoes.

The maps are not manipulated on a PC like other tuners do here, and they do not steal other companies maps and claim that they are their own

Each tune is done by downloading the OEM file, the file is emailed to Tuner in Germany, the map is manipulated and emailed back to be re-flashed onto the ECU

My M3 was tuned by him before the S/C and it was extremely quick.
The rev limiter is not moved up excessively, so there is no chance of motor plan picking up the mod. (I had my car at BMW twice after the map and they could not detect the file)

This is the kind of peace of mind that you need when fiddling with a R1, 300, 000 car.

Anyone wanting to chat to Elton should call him on 083 577 5555

Hmmm, car seems to be appreciating in value quite quick. I'm sure it was R900k this morning :mmm: ....

Awesome man:excited:
..and you have no regrets?

 

[JustNN]

Chuck you are one seriously lucky guy, from your beautiful M3 Suppercharger to a X6M moded, you are the envy of alot of people.

Congrats on the new X6M:excited: :excited: its one of my favorite all timers and your car garage is my dream garage :shocked: but a big congrats on these two out of this world cars :thumbsup:

Had the pleasure of driving a un-modded X6M a while back... What a vehicle!! I can just imagine what a modded one must feel like! Congrats Chuck!

22 x 12 and 22 x 11 ADV 10 deep concave wheels

have you actually got these yet??? same debacle as the 360forge apparently

Excellent choice of Car / Xtras / Tuner :thumbsup:
A stock 1 ran +-12.5s 1/4m @ Odi .. Yours should be good for 11's :thumb:

I deal with the guys in the US and pleasure to do business with.

Wheels are in final finishing stage, Terence and Miguel have emailed me pics of the wheels in the forging process. They did a custom size, finish and offset for me.
Brushed dark grey lips with gloss clear coat and brushed silver centers with matt clear coat. Will post pics of what they look like shortly

Awesome car, but after seeing how functional the X5 I really can't justify going for the X6, apart from the looks, where of course the X6 is miles better than any other SUV on the road. (just my opinion of course)

Looking forward to see some pics.

Edit:

This bothers me a bit:

Each tune is done by downloading the OEM file, the file is emailed to Tuner in Germany, the map is manipulated and emailed back to be re-flashed onto the ECU

Isn't his a very sub-optimal way of doing it, seeing as the guy in germany might not now anything about the local conditions that might affect the tune and he also doesn't have the car on a dyno with him, so he has to do the manipulation, send the stuff back, it gets uploaded, dyno'ed then the the dyno results get sent to him and adapts the manipulation, and send it back again, rinse and repeat.
I just think it would yield better results if the guy doing the tuning is actually with the car.

 

[chucknorris]

All US based an European tuners have maps that are loaded this way with excellent results.

ESS was like this for SC map, etc

The BMW ECU retains it's adaptation functions so it's 100% smooth.

They don't require a dyno to check what the map is doing, they have many files for differed fuels and altitudes etc.

Car is rediculous now

The tune seems to be very mild compared to what is available and the new cars ECU's are far more complex than a few years ago. The tuners now days set targets such a air fuel ratios etc and the dme adapts to that no matter what the conditions.
I do not think a copy and paist file would be a good idea when trying to break power record but for this power level its good enough.

Chuck you gonna need the extra power to spin those 22's. Have you got any idea how much heavier they are than stock? Can we do anything to get you track side this year? I am planning my drag event for around April this year and would love to see your car motor.

 

[chucknorris]

Hey George

You are right about the 22s, but it's not a race car, and power is already daft for a big truck so I'm happy. I think the ADVs are going to be heavier than stock 20s, I reckon about 30lbs per wheel compared to like 25 for OEM.

The 3 piece forged wheels are weight optimised but the deep concave centre piece uses alot more meat in it's design.

Did you see the toque jump in the 3-5k range? 75hp and 80ft/lbs (108nm) torque

Done 3 cars this way already - 2 ( 530d & corsa opc) are holding track 1/4m records 3rd waiting to test in 2011 .. So depends who u dealing with & their knowledge of mapping + understanding your personal requirements :thumb:

Are you holding the record for the Corsa opc?
I remember a guy did a 13.1 with his opc, was that you?

Nope thats not me, thats my bud Angus who has b/turbo ..
I was comparing all stock turbo corsa opc's with s/w, d/p & filter ..

 

[Sherwin@xcede]

Well done there bud, good results. We have also done a handful here with 180nm gains. Lighting up all 4 on William Nicol is quite an experience. Seems these motors have plenty potential in them.

The procedure I followed is the same for all other cars. I log the car stock, then read the stock map off the car. I open it up & make changes to the stockfile & log each time, real-time. I did this with Jason on the forum. He was in the car with me, laptop open the whole time so I am transparent with the owner's as to exactly what I'm doing. I turned the boost up & made all supplementary changes right in front of him.

Anyway, good luck & awesome results! Glad you are enjoying it.

That is a real tuner.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
