Tune for X3

Solutions to bump power for the 3L gasoline engine in the X3?

Sorry, nothing out there for us. I have talked to AFE for a simple cold air intake --no go.

Today I met Steve Dinan of Dinan Performance products and he said they stopped making products after 2006 for the X3 because it was not profitable as no one was buying.

So far the only thing I have been able to find is to have a custom exhaust from engine to tip for about $3k.

Or insane pricing for a supercharger and that is a waste on an X3.

Found this, quite interesting if it fits the X3 http://burgertuning.com/BMS_Power_Box.html

First reply from the company in link above is the tune will not fit the X3 harness. I may have provided them with wrong info regarding the DME version, and will ask again when I've looked in my car. Will get it later this week.

Perhaps anyone here can tell what DME it is in the BMW X3 3.0i e83? It should be a Siemens DME but the question is also which version it is.

The BMS company said the tune is not supporting the M54 engine.

I'll try a flash tune instead. It is claimed to increase hp and tq with 10%, which I don't believe in to be honest. I've got an agreement to get full refund if the tune yields less than 20 hp. This will be tested with my Racelogic unit. The outcome will be reported when the car is tuned.
